Reviews
Posted on Scott DyerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jamie was a pleasure to deal with and a clear communicator before during and after our wedding. Most importantly however, the man rocked the house! Adapted to whatever we threw at him and created special moments for us to remember forever! Book him now, I suspect once the word gets out about him his schedule will fill up fast!!!Posted on Kimberlee WolfeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sax’n’Keys musical magic all starts the moment Jamie Serafi’ starts playing—he possesses impressive prowess on both saxophone and piano! As a very gifted performer; Jamie is comfortable blending in the background for receptions or inviting and engaging guests along his diverse playlist and playful banter!! He is a delight to listen to and is super talented! Cheshire UK’s loss, is Calgary’s grand gain! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 I’d hire Jamie again and again!Posted on AlexandriaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t be more happy to have had Jamie play during our cocktail hour and grand entrance. He is so personable and lively and left such a lasting impression with our guests. Thank you so much for playing for us at the beautiful Lake House!Posted on Drew PierceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jamie was awesome at our wedding. He jumped right in with our music selections, and he was a hit with all of our guests. Cool Sax n’ keys is something fun and different for a wedding, highly recommend!Posted on Astrid RoxasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Jamie for our wedding last week, and he did an outstanding job. My only ask was that he play some classic songs on the sax for my relatives to enjoy for our cocktail hour, and he followed through! It is obvious he is highly skilled in his craft as my guests were entertained the entire time he played! His customer service is top notch, and there was no doubt in my mind that he was the perfect fit for our big day! Thank you Jamie for all you do!Posted on BodeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cool Sax 'n' Keys did excellently well when I did the surprise birthday for my wife. She was very happy. Thank you.Posted on Taylor DickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jamie was absolutely incredible. I hired him as a surprise for my husband at our wedding this August, since both of us love the saxophone—and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. From the very beginning, Jamie went above and beyond. He called months in advance to make sure every single song I wanted was included and to understand the exact vibe we hoped for on our wedding day. He even followed up closer to the date to see if I had any questions or last-minute requests, which gave me such peace of mind. On the wedding night, Jamie exceeded every single expectation we had. He was the reason no one left the dance floor all evening. The energy he brought was unmatched—he nailed every song, seamlessly played alongside everyone dancing, and truly became part of the celebration. Since the wedding, countless guests have reached out asking who our saxophone player was because he left such a lasting impression. I cannot recommend Jamie enough for any event. In my opinion, there isn’t anyone in Calgary who plays saxophone better or brings more life to a party. He is simply incredible.Posted on Janet SpencerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jamie played his sax and keyboard at our son’s stand up wedding reception at our home this summer. His music was absolutely wonderful! We loved it and so did our guests - so many commented on how fun the music was. He truly made the wedding special.Posted on Tasha HoffartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We cannot recommend our wedding saxophone player highly enough! From the moment the first note rang out, our guests were completely blown away. It was a surprise performance, and the reaction was priceless—everyone was talking about it all night. Not only is he an incredibly talented musician, but he also brought such a vibrant, joyful energy that elevated the entire atmosphere. Whether during the drinks reception or when he joined the DJ for an unforgettable sax set on the dance floor, he nailed every moment with style and charisma. He was professional, easy to work with, and truly went above and beyond to make our day special. Thank you for helping create such magical memories—we're still getting messages from guests saying how amazing you were!Posted on Kassaundra BaalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jamie was absolutely incredible to work with! As a wedding coordinator, I deeply appreciate vendors who are responsive and solution-oriented .. and Jamie exceeded every expectation. He was lightning-fast with communication, which made coordinating all the moving parts for live music, the DJ, and the venue a total breeze. On top of that, this particular performance was a surprise for the groom, so we had to sneak Jamie in and complete setup in record time - and he handled it all with such calm professionalism and ease. His talent, flexibility, and positive attitude truly elevated the day. And let’s not forget the musical talent! Cool Sax’n’Keys brought such a fun, vibrant vibe to the day. The guests loved it, the couple was thrilled, and my oh my was it a fantastic way to kick off the dance floor. If you’re looking to elevate your event with great music and even better vibes, Jamie’s your guy! Kassaundra Of Kefi Bliss Events 🥳🪩✨Load more
