Laura was unbelievable and was one of the highlights of our wedding! She bought incredible energy and created a great party vide. Both playlists sets were perfect for the atmosphere we were looking for. All of our guests were raving on about how amazing Laura was. Would highly recommend! Thank you so much!

We had toyed with the idea of a saxophonist at our wedding reception for a while, debating whether it would fit into our budget, but then we came across Laura, who offered a very competitive quote, that even included travel. We're so glad we booked - our guests (and us) loved what Laura brought to the evening; she was able to adapt to the music quickly, and she worked perfectly with our DJ. We kept her a surprise from guests and she arrived promptly and discretely to keep this up. We would definitely recommend Laura if you're considering a saxophonist for your event.

From hearing her perform at an event I knew that Laura would be a perfect added extra to my 40th Birthday Celebrations. My parents and I booked Laura and she was professional and personal with regards to the style of music I wanted and even took requests before the event which really made it a special type of entertainment. Guests all commented on the way she performed really well and the right style of music while guests arrived and during the start of the meal which is what I wanted, I am already thinking of other events I could have her perform at. Thank you so much for adding a touch of live music to my event and providing the sound system too so I didn't have to think about any of the set up or the music during your short break.

We approached Laura a few months before our wedding after finding her online and seeing how good her reviews were. Laura’s quote was very competitive to others we received. From start to finish Laura was just fabulous, communications prior was excellent, she arrived early to set up and all ready, such a talented saxophonist, and a lovely person too, our guests (and us) absolutely loved her! Thank you so much Laura for being part of our special day, we cannot recommend you enough.
