We had the pleasure of having a saxophonist play at our party, and he was absolutely amazing. His music set the perfect vibe and elevated the entire atmosphere. He was professional, talented, and engaging with our guests. Everyone kept complimenting the music! Highly recommend for any special event.

Derrick was a gem to work with! His DJ set along with his sax playing was an incredible combo for our event. He was the utmost professional before, during and after. Would totally work with “Dare To Love Music” again. Highly recommend!! A++

We couldn’t have asked for better music for our daughter’s engagement party. They kept the energy flowing all night, and Derek playing piano at the beginning while guests were arriving was such a beautiful touch. His saxophone serenades throughout the evening were unforgettable, and Lovisa has an absolutely stunning voice. Professional, talented, and a joy to have at our event—we’ll definitely be using them again for the wedding. ❤️

I am so happy that my husband and I decided to use Dare to Love Music w Derrick and his wife. Its been about a week since we got married and people are still talking about the dj. The saxophone was the BEST addition and their energy was AMAZING. It was easy to work with them and they were on top of my music preferences for the wedding. Im particular and it was a Jewish wedding. I didnt want certain songs and very much needed others. The hora with a sax is just the icing on the cake. Thank you!!!! (I havent gotten pics yet but will post when I do)
