Words cannot even try to explain how incredible Carlo was at our wedding on 9th December. Total professional with responsive, helpful and friendly communication from the moment of booking. Countless guests including our parents described Carlo as a highlight of the event which had an awful lot going on! We had an unbelievable entrance song which got the whole party going which Carlo played as per our request and how he engaged our guests by walking around playing on the sax, having a huge reportoire which he so is so talented in playing. I could go on for so long describing what a big hit he was during our wedding breakfast! We will 100% be booking Carlo again in the future and numerous guests also asking for his details! Do not hesitate for any longer in booking this talented and friendly musician. So affordable for a moment you will never forget! Thank you SO much Carlo. Faith & Mitch x
