New York City Wedding Saxophone Soloist Javier Arau continues to make couples smile

Here’s a nice review I got from a recent solo performance at a wedding ceremony:

“When I say this guy is AWESOME I mean AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He rocked the house with his smooth tunes coming from the classy yet relaxing sounds of his Sax. He got rave reviews. Everyone said that he was the icing on the cake. Then to see and hear him during the cocktail hour at the reception took the guest by a sweet suprise. Javier I will be calling you again. I have to get a CD. Great job and will Highly recommend. Very professional and flexible. He was great. I don’t kow what else to say. ”

Thanks to the newlyweds! I enjoyed it all, too!
