Lewis absolutely made our wedding!! He’s extremely talented at both saxophone and flute. If you’re looking for that ‘live band’ feel but with a way bigger range of song choices then Lewis is your man. He was really receptive to our taste in music, read the dance floor vibes like a champion and even let the odd request through. Can’t wait for mates to hire him for their wedding! I will never forget him playing jazz flute to Toto ‘Africa’. Magic

All guests and even the caterers left with Lewis’ details – he really made the party for us. Even today people are still asking who the musician was. Please can you pass on our gratitude, he really took the event to the next level!
