Stephen Sylvia Saxophonist

I was the DJ at a high-budget James Bond–themed event where Stephen and I coordinated closely on sound and music to make sure everything was seamless. He was professional, easy to work with, and delivered a flawless performance. His sax playing added a polished, cinematic touch to the night. Would work with him again anytime.

Great choice of music. Punctual. Open to stay little bit longer. Family loved him. Professional. He brought all equipment needed for the event. Overall : Two Thumps Up !

Stephen was fantastic and made our evening very special! We truly enjoyed the wide range of music Stephen played from smooth jazz to pop (top 40 music). He had us dancing out of our seats. We would love to have him again and would recommend him for any future events.

Steve is a great artist who brought down the house during my 5oth birthday. He played wonderful music and one song in particular was from my high school prom. It brought tears to my eyes and made the event event more special! Steve is an exceptional artist who I highly recommend for any event!

Stephen was such an incredible addition to our Open House/40th Anniversary Party. He was so accommodating and let us know what would work best for our space. He confirmed prior to the event, came early for set up & had the music going just as guests started arriving. Everyone commented on him and the great music he was playing. We all felt like we were at a classy wedding reception! He added so much to our party and I highly recommend him for any and all events. Will definitely book again!

Saxify was fantastic! He met my husband and I at the top of Camelback Mountain for a surprise anniversery and played a couple of songs! He made this special moment very memorable for us! I highly recommend him!

I booked Stephen less than a week before my grandfather’s 80th birthday. He was very responsive to my request for a phone call to discuss planning details. I booked him for a very small intimate lunch, with 4 adults and a baby. From our initial call, I knew that he would offer an unforgettable experience! On the day of Stephen arrived early and needed minimal set up! His opening song choice moved us all, and brought my very stoic grandfather to tears! (Mission Accomplished!) We spent the afternoon enjoying beautiful sounds and danced until the very end! Stephen, thank you for an unforgettable experience!

I had Steve play the reception of my wedding, about an hour into the party as a total surprise to my 250 guests. HE WAS A HIT! Steve seamlessly added himself to the center of the dance floor for his cue and he smashed it. He took on our international flare of Spanish, French and Arabic so well and vibed with the DJ. All anyone has brought up the week after the wedding has been my dress and the saxophone player… so it was a major success. I’m sure we’ve just started a trend and I’m hoping we can use him in the future!

We absolutely loved saxify and he made our party so special. He was a great communicator, professional and so gifted with the saxophone. I can’t recommend him enough!

Stephen did an amazing job at our grand opening after hours event. Communication leading up to the event was great. Rate was very fair. He arrived promptly and prepared. He’s an extremely talented saxophonist and played a super fun, upbeat selection of songs including a special request song that he absolutely nailed. He really set the mood for our guests and provided exactly the fun, lively atmosphere we were looking for. I would highly recommend him for any event.

Stephen was the perfect addition to our Friday evening reception/dinner and provided ambiance and mood that elevated the event to next level. Professional and timely...definitely recommend! Thank you, Stephen, for sharing your music with us.
