I knew from the day I started my wedding planning I wanted a sax player, and when we came across Tim's page we were impressed by his bio and all the other reviews we had seen.
We contacted him with our vision and what we wanted and he exceeded our expectations.
He really interacted with everyone and made everyone really come out their shell.

From playing chilled vibes in the garden at the drinks reception to more upbeat ibiza Classics in the evening it was a fantastic and everyone has commented since .
So if your thinking about it just do it! Thansk tim so much

We do not have enough words and there are not enough stats to describe how amazing Tim was playing at our wedding. He played the saxophone absolutely perfectly during our drinks reception and brought all the vibes to the dance floor. Not only was he amazing at the sax, he was a lovely guy too and travelled quite a distance to come to our wedding. Every single guest said how great he was and he truly was!! Do not hesitate to book Tim if you are thinking of having a sax player at your wedding! Thank you Tim!!!

Tim was fabulous at our son’s wedding. He is a fabulous musician, but also a genuinely lovely person. He became an important part of the memories made during our amazing day. His planning was always appropriate for the moment with well considered pieces and was impeccable in quality. The children loved him too. If you are looking for a musician for your special occasion then don’t hesitate, Tim is your man!

“Tim played the saxophone at our wedding in August for our ceremony & daytime reception. He was nothing short of incredible!
So flexible and helpful throughout the whole planning process, and so easy and quick to communicate with and so well priced for the service he provides.
His personality and performance matched so well with the atmosphere we wanted to create for our guests.
We chose personal songs to us for the ceremony, and without hesitation he performed them beautifully.
We gave him free rein of the drinks reception, and he fully delivered. So many guests loved and complimented him and he was such a statement to our day and we would absolutely do it exactly the same, if we could.
A very wonderful, polite and incredibly talented man, we cannot recommend enough.”

Tim was fantastic from my very first enquiry to him. He was extremely responsive, friendly and accommodating. We had to move our wedding once due to COVID and he was completely understanding. He was totally open to all my song choices and learned new arrangements according to the songs I had asked for. During the welcome drinks he played a range of songs which catered for all our guests and everyone commented on how fantastic he was and what an amazing atmosphere he created with his music. I would definitely recommend Tim to anyone looking for a musician at their wedding and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact him again for any other event I organise!

Thank you so much for the beautiful music you played for our wedding. We loved every second of it and all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed the range of music. We especially loved the bespoke arrangement of “at last” you created fir us to walk down the isle to. You made our day that extra bit special

Helen Davey (Private wedding at The Old Barn, North Devon) 3 Dec 2018

On December 1st 2018 our daughter Kerry married her partner Clare at the Milky Way Wedding Barn. The previous year we attended a Wedding Fayre where we spotted Tim playing the saxaphone and we promptly booked him to play at their wedding.

The girls didn’t have any particular thoughts on what music they wanted at the time and Tim was extremely helpful with suitable suggestions especially the classical pieces. Tim patiently awaited their choices and didn’t even blink an eye when bizarrely one of the songs they asked him to play afterwards for fun was the Benny Hill theme tune !! This went down very well indeed with all.

I suppose a saxaphone isnt the usual choice for wedding music but I have say it was perfect. It sounded mellow and smooth during the little ceremony and upbeat and fun for the champagne reception afterwards. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Tim again and I hope we have the opportunity to do so at some point.

We had lots of feedback from our guests wondering where we found Tim and all thoroughly enjoyed listening to him and I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a few bookings from our part of Devon in the future.

Many thanks Tim from all the Davey family.

We booked Tim for our Daughters Wedding Day in August 2013 as a surprise for the happy couple. They were delighted with the addition to the plans that had been long standing, they were amazed at the quality of performance and sound. Tim did his research as to what the Bride and Groom liked/wanted and wowed the congregation before, during and after the ceremony. Tim is also a really nice guy so you’ll have the help with suggestions for songs if you need it, along with years of experience. Tim would be a sensational addition to your wedding day or any other reason you have to celebrate.

Hi Tim, Jack and I wanted to say a massive thank you for the amazing work you did at our wedding. We have been inundated with comments about how amazing “the sax guy” was. You set the tone from the beginning and made such great music choices! You played something everyone would like and of course the bespoke Disney requests went down a total treat for me. One of my favourite memories from the day is walking into the wedding breakfast to “be our guest” and having a dance through the room! I’m so glad jack found you - you were a delight throughout to deal with. X

You were absolutely fantastic on our wedding day and we have received so many compliments – in fact my colleagues were still talking about it today after we heard “Make you feel my love” on the radio. That piece of music you played as my bridesmaids and I walked down the aisle brought me tears and also to many of our guests – it was a very special start to what was a very special day. To have you play at our wedding filled the air with the sound of my favourite musical instrument and we loved what you played in the garden and the arrangements you put together for the ceremony. Thank you ever so much for being part of the beautiful day.
