Marty was great to work with. He played lovely live music at our daughter’s ceremony at Sunrise Amphitheater. At the reception he got everyone up and dancing with a combination of live music and DJ. The saxophone player added so much. Many people commented on how great the music was. Would highly recommend Marty!

Wow!!!! Marty was like having your best friend at your wedding who knew all your favorite songs and how to rock every one of them! All of my guests were floored by his performance and I’m still getting compliments on his artistry and work. I am truly ecstatic I found Marty and very pleased with all the recommendations he gave me, like adding a saxophonist for the night! Marty 100% knows what he’s doing and how to have a great time, his energy is infectious! If you want the party of a lifetime, hire Marty!!!

Marty is the real deal!! He helped everything run smoothly even with some last minute curveballs. The duo with the saxophone was the best wedding music I've ever seen. We had too much fun. Thanks Marty!!!

I literally cannot say enough good things or emphasize strongly enough how pivotal Marty and his saxophonist were in making our wedding amazing. From the moment they started playing at the reception, our dance floor was packed. I don't even know if they took a break!! They. Were. Incredible. And he was so great to work with - he completely captured our musical wishes and read the crowd. He has the world's greatest 90s mashup, and had everyone from the 3 year old to our 80 year old grandma dancing. He has a great questionnaire that helps guide the music choices, can DJ and alternate with live music, can MC, helped coordinate our vendors, and put us so much at ease. I am not exaggerating, so many guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and I give Marty so much credit for that. He would have been worth 3 times the fee. We also have very specific requests for first dance and parent dances and he adapted the songs and tempos and length and learned them and played them live for us. He had great suggestions for songs for some components of the wedding where we had a hard time picking them (recessional, processional, mom/son, etc. ) If you're debating a DJ or band - do yourself a favor and look into Marty. We are obsessed.
