Well, where to start?! I booked Vicki for my sister’s wedding and WOW, she is amazing!!! Phenomenal even. The music was absolutely incredible and everyone at the wedding enjoyed it so much. It was just what we whilst we had some food and drinks. I had so many people come up to me to say how much they loved her performance, how talented she is and how much they loved her vibe. I even got a comment saying how incredible it was that Vicki was smiling, whilst playing the saxophone! I mean, she really was incredible. Vicki’s time at the wedding has left a wonderful memory for us all to look back on. We truly loved every minute of her playing. If you’re thinking of booking Vicki, please do it!

Vicki is an absolutely amazing sax player! Not only is she very talented, she is a lovely friendly person. We booked Vicki to play at our wedding during our meal as we didn't want any awkward silences and love the sound of a saxophone! Well she did not disappoint, all of our guests thought she was brilliant. Vicki did not just stand in a corner playing, she walked between the tables and engaged with everyone. She played songs from her list that we had requested and read the room and played what music she thought people would enjoy. If you are looking for a sax player for your event, I would highly recommend Vicki!!

Vicki played Ibiza Sax for us at my friend’s festival theme hen party on Saturday and she was absolutely amazing!! She was lovely to deal with from start to finish and easy to get in contact with, booking was so easy and she contacted me straight away to confirm all of the details. She is an amazing Saxophonist, the music had everyone up dancing and she really brought some Ibiza Saxophone magic to the day! The bride had no idea Vicki was going to be playing for us so to see her shocked face when Vicki started playing was brilliant!! I would recommend Vicki for any event and will be hiring her to play again in the future. Thanks Vicki!! Sarah xxxxx
