Available for live events, including cocktail hours and private events of all types.

Arrived in a timely manner.
Was very kind and insanely talented!

He was early, his sound was just what we wanted, and I will recommend him.
He made the event!

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.

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!

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!
