Hi Carlos, Thank you for the great saxophone playing at our corporate Garden Party. We received loads of lovely comments from our guests, it really fitted the laid back summer vibes! You arrived in plenty of time, was very polite and courteous – will definitely recommend you! Sue

I called Carlos 2 weeks ago to ask if he was available for a surprise proposal party for my daughter. Carlos was charming - informed me that he did have availability, sent me song set list, discussed exactly what was required on the day. Arrived promptly - chatted with our guests, played beautifully. Cant thank him enough for making our party such a special occasion. Lauren Dobkins
