Hi Ken!!!
I wanted to say thanks again sooo much for the awesome entertainment at our wedding, people really can't stop talking about how fun everything was, and I absolutely loved the generation dance, I thought everything turned out so well. I did the phone testimonial and filled out the survey on your website.
I will also tell ANYONE talking about getting married about you and your website which is now saved as one of my "favorites".
Everything from beginning to end was EXCELLENT and I absolutely couldn't be happier!! You made our day special and even helped everything run smooth!! Also, I loved the surprise sax playing while we were waiting for the champagne to be passed out, the guests are STILL talking about what a cool treat that was!!
Thanks again,

Ken provided an outstanding performance. He ran the entire Wedding Reception events from start to finish as if it was his  own son or daughter getting married. You get more than your money worth, I felt , I under paid him for his great and friendly inter action with the bridal party, parents and friends,relatives and the staff providing the place and food service workers.   I normally do not refer or recommend services I receive but I highly recommend Ken Stout(SAXMAN) to be your Entertainment Director for your events.  He provides a worry free memorable event and go above and beyond your satisfaction level.
Ken you provided a memorable event and will never forget it and you.
 
Thank you very much,

Saxman DJ,
Thank you so much for your talented Piano & Sax (Steve/Ken)musicians during our ceremony & reception, the live music made our wedding so elegant and DJ Terrie was awesome. Now we understand why your company was featured on PBS Television. You guys do Rock! We were so amazed at how wonderful our wedding turned out, you made it our Dream Day. Ken & Terrie, you obviously have been doing this awhile. When it came to coordinating the wedding, music and creating such unforgetable memories you gave 150%. My husband and I highly reccommend Saxman DJ! Get their Live Music and DJ combo, it is the best affordable package for any wedding.

Ken and Ron were very prompt an professional. This event was thrown together very quickly, and they provided the music and atmosphere I wanted without a lot of detailed input from me. And I must say, the karaoke selection was a lot more than I had anticipated. I got a lot more than I was expecting. I am very impressed! I recommend Saxman DJ for your event!!!

My Husband and I loved how Ken was able to take control and make sure that our wedding ceremony and reception were perfect. The right amount of style, grace, humor and talent. Ken and his partner played the music beautifully during our wedding ceremony, and during the dinner service Ken walked around to each table and played his sax making it an intimate evening. He made sure all our requests were taken care of as well as those of our guests. Ken got the crowd going during the reception and kept it lively and romantic. I would recommend Saxman Entertainment to anyone. You get the best of both worlds with live music and a DJ.

Ken did an outstanding job at our wedding.  He was professional, courteous, played everything that was requested and interacted with the guests.  They were most delighted to listen to LIVE (piano/sax)music before and after the ceremony and during dinner.  I received many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the DJ long after the wedding.  I will recommend Ken to anyone who is having a special event!

The live music was worth every penny. Every one enjoyed it, they loved the music Ken played on the sax and he did a great job on picking the DJ music for all the dancing, everyone was talking about how much fun they had. If you do choose to use Ken and I would, spend the extra and get the live music and DJ package, you will be happy you did.
Thank you Ken.

Ken was the perfect addition to my clients' wedding.  The Saxophone music was amazing for the ceremony and he kept the guests up and dancing throughout the reception!  I recommend Ken to anyone looking for a polite and courteous DJ who will stay within your budget and work with you to create exactly the day you've been dreaming of!

My experience with Saxman Entertainment was one that I will never forget. A wedding is a day that goes by so fast, with most things you can't even remember when the day is over. But to have Ken Stout and Saxman Entertainment there, it gave me a moment to slow down and enjoy my long walk down the aisle. The music was there to greet my guest and calm my waiting groom as he walked nervously around the church trying to greet everyone who arrived. As I nervously approached the doors of the church. the sound of the sax playing caught my ear and in that moment I could take a breath.

You never think of the musician as the person who would have all the answers to your questions about your wedding plans. But Ken was there from the beginning to offer any advice on questions or doubts I might have.

With all the stress of planning my wedding,I could say that with choosing Saxman Entertainment I never had a worry about how perfect my music would turn out.
 
Thank you ,

Everything was perfect! We've been totally happy with your talent at both our daughters's weddings!

Ken, we loved working with you knowing how professional and friendly you are. What a piece of mind knowing that the music at the ceremony, dinner reception, and dancing afterwards are in your capable hands.

Ken Stout, our DJ, was absolutely amazing! Ken was on time, pleasant to our guest, and had every song we asked for and more. Our reception was four hours long and their was never a dull or awkward moment. While we were eating Ken played solo on his saxophone, and as soon as Ken noticed the children getting restless he played children's songs so all the kids could dance while their parents finished eating. I could not imagine my wedding reception without Ken. My new husband is not much of a dancer but he danced the entire time. My family isn't much for dancing but everyone was out of their seats and on the dance floor. We had a great time Ken and the music was perfect. Thank you so much!!!!!!!! If you need a reference I am an email away. Sincerely,

Ken,

I feel bad that I didn't get to see you after the wedding the rangers wanted us out then and there.  The wedding was absolutely beautiful and you played a very important part in that.  You made our day so much more special and we wanted to thank you.  Looking back on the day we will always remember the romantic setting with you guys playing in the background it was a night we will never forget.  Thank you so ever much for playing a very important part in my life as a child and as a man.
All our thanks,

First of all, I wanted to thank you for all you did to make Sarah and Mark's wedding so special.  Not one but two set-ups, and we're very, very grateful!  We have the CD of the Kingston Trio with "Turn Around" that we received from you, so we'll have a few of our own tears as we reminisce over our wonderful Sarah, the gift she's been in our lives and is now in Mark's.  We've heard from the newlyweds, and they're happily enjoying time in Kauai before going on to Maui and then coming home to settle into the real world!
I hope your business continues to grow and be successful.  Watch out for all the parents of the brides/grooms who need less "boom" than the young ones!
 
Sincerely,

Ken's customer service and professionalism was superb. He was very accommodating in playing all the music the teenagers liked yet keeping the music age appropriate. He was very confident in what he was doing and made me feel extremely at ease regarding the music. I just knew it would be great and I was worried about everything that day but not the music. Without Ken the party would have been a total wash. He had control of the situation and did an excellent job. I would recommend him to anyone for any event or any occasion. Also he looked very professional as well as being very professional.

Our experience with our DJ was fabulous!  We were so pleased with the service your company provided.  Our DJ, Terri, was excellent!  She not only showed up early, but checked in hours before to make sure she knew where she was going and to simply introduce herself.  We were, overall, very satisfied with everything, and the music selection was great too!

Hello Ken & Terrie,
 
I just wanted to say that you were wonderful today!  It was our best picnic ever.  The kids loved the music! 
 
I felt badly that I had to leave the picnic in a rush to tend to my 5th graders and didn't get a chance to come and say good bye to you. ( I was having so much fun with the Hokey Pokey, Chicken Dance and the Limbo that I lost track of time.  I had to race back to school to relieve the teacher who was covering for me so I could at least come for a little while. 
 
You did a fantastic job...thank you so much!

Art & Judy,
 
I just wanted to say Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did at my party on April 12th.  You made my big 50th birthday bash a wonderful day for me.  That was extremely nice of you to video tape the event and send me a copy.  I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you.  The day went by so fast that you forget what happened.  It brought tears to me how so many of my wonderful friends said such sweet and touching things about me.  I get to cherish that for many years to come. 
 
Again, thank you so much.  You did a great job.  You will be referred to my friends and associates who are looking for a DJ.
 
Regards,
Diane Harbaugh
