“Just a quick note to thank you for organizing Craig and Daryl for the Sinclair Knight Merz Newcastle office End of Financial Year dinner at the Boulevard on Beaumont Boutique Hotel, last Saturday night. The band was fantastic. I have been listening to praise for Craig's sax and Daryl's keyboard and singing all morning. Not only was the music and atmosphere great, but also C raig and Daryl's manner and showmanship. They are certainly the most professional musician's we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Please pass our sentiments on and we look forward to utilizing your services again for our next function.”

“The MGM team and I would like to thankyou for a great night last Friday night at our Christmas party at the Hunter Valley Gardens. The music was fantastic and certainly got everyone up and dancing, particularly the ones who don't usually dance. Also thankyou for allowing one of our staff members to play the drums. Probably not part of what you guys do but thanks again for accommodating. I hope you had a great night and we will definitely keep you in mind for future events.”

“I just wanted to say a big thankyou to you guys for playing at our Wedding. You guys were fantastic and so many people commented to me about how great you were. It was so nice to see so many people up dancing and enjoying the music. I wish I’d spent more time on the dance floor myself, but weddings just seem to fly by and so it felt like I barely had enough time just to catch up with everyone. Although I could certainly feel the atmosphere and good vibes that your music created. Your music really made the reception – so thankyou!”

“Thank you and Saxanova so much for the wonderful entertainment at my daughter Jade's and her Husband Richard's wedding at Margan Vineyard on New Year's Eve. Craig you guys were just fantastic and everyone had such a wonderful time. Thank you for your Saxaphone on the lawn during drinks, the wonderful rendition of "Can't Take That Away From Me" during the cake cutting, and the entertainment for our guests that had them dancing all night. I am so glad that we made the right decision in booking Saxanova for this very special day and I know that Jade and Richard loved the music and had an awesome time at their wedding. I am happy to sing your praises. Thank the other band members for me and rest assured you helped make New Year's Eve very special and Jade and Richard's wedding one for everyone to remember.

“Craig and the rest of the Saxanova band were fantastic at my wedding at Margan Estate Winery. They really created the perfect atmosphere - playing acoustically outside over drinks and then moving inside for dinner. Saxanova were easy to deal with and clearly very experienced. It was the little unexpected touches that made the night, like playing 'All the Single Ladies' when I was about to throw the bouquet. Thank you so much.”

You did such a wonderful job with song choices at dinner and for filling up the dance floor. My only regret is the night went too quickly!
