To Jarrod & the amazing Sax Appeal Ottawa,
We wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for your wonderful music at our wedding reception! You and your group are so talented, the music was such a pleasure to listen to! We received an incredible number of compliments regarding your music from our guests, a number of whom told us they would pay to go and listen to your group at another event. Your music was flawless, elegant, and perfect in volume - people were able to hear your group, but it wasn't so loud that people couldn't talk. You all looked very professional, in your formal-wear, and we really appreciate that you matched your tuxedo colour accents to the colour scheme of our wedding!
The music selection was incredible, exactly what we were hoping for and looking for! You did a fantastic job of catering to our tastes, and playing a variety of music to suit the guests' tastes as well.
In addition to the great music your group played, Jarrod, you were just wonderful to work with. We cannot thank you enough for all you did to help take weight off our shoulders and assist with tasks along the way. You were always easy to reach, quick to answer, and ready to help, on things beyond those that we hired your group for. You were constantly offering help to make our day run as smoothly as possible, and that meant a lot to us!
We want to have another event just so we can hire your group to play! We would highly, HIGHLY recommend you and Sax Appeal to anyone who needed a musical group for an event. You, and your group, rose above and beyond our expectations! We hope to be able to hire you again in the future!
On behalf of the entire European Festival reception team, we want to express our sincere gratitude for your live performance during this memorable event. Your talent and passion added an extraordinary dimension to the evening, and we feel honored to have had you with us.
Your music created a magical atmosphere at the National Gallery of Canada, and we received numerous compliments from our guests. Your professionalism and dedication were remarkable, and we will enthusiastically recommend you to other event organizers.
Very professional group. Arrived on time, very easy to coordinate with Jarrod beforehand, and they sounded wonderful at our event. We hired them 3 times for our event, all 3 times we had different musicians and instrumentation so it was great to see the variety. Would recommend Sax Appeal to anyone.
I had the pleasure of working with Sax Appeal Ottawa the tuba/sax group at a recent event. Jarrod was fantastic in meeting our needs and budget, and communication was top notch before, during and after the event. Thank you for bringing a unique flare to our event!
Jarrod and the musicians from Sax Appeal are top notch - very easy to work with, Sax Appeal comes to the table with ideas on how to make your event great. Live music adds such a nice energy and atmosphere to any event, and people always love to dance and bop along to the tunes. We hired Sax Appeal for a Toy Mountain live TV broadcast and it was such a smart decision - even Santa loved having live music playing in the background while he took photos with families. Thank you, Jarrod and Sax Appeal, for a great evening. Looking forward to working together again soon!
Un grand merci à vous Sax Appeal. Votre touche a beaucoup ajouté â la féérie des envolées sur le site. Merci!
Thank you so much for performing at our wedding! Many of our guests mentioned the beautiful saxophone music during the ceremony and how they thought it added a unique touch to the celebration! We also want to thank to thank Jarrod in particular, for spending time with us and our families prior to the wedding, Your help and presence was greatly appreciated. Thank you once again for your wonderful music and four your great support
On behalf of the Ottawa Catholic School Board, please accept my thanks for providing expert musical instruction to our students at our board-wide Music Festival. You have demonstrated a notable commitment to arts education and have provided a rich experience for our students as they pursue their goals and aspirations as fledgling artists.
The OCSB Music Festival has been successful, thanks in no small part to the generous donation of time and expertise which you provided. You’ve added such a special dimension to the day with your performance and expertise!
My wife and I would like to convey our deep thanks for such an outstanding entertainment performance at our daughter’s wedding on Saturday [...at the Museum of Nature]. Your musicians created the perfect balance and ambiance to ensure all had a happy and festive celebration
Ce fut pour nous un ajout tres important a la cérémonie… musiciens en toxedo…les pieces de musique choisies a l’image de la cérémonie et du cocktail……..l’ambiance était a son meilleur! PERFECT … PERFECT … PERFECT! WE COULD NOT ASK FOR MORE. MANY THANKS
It was a real pleasure to have Sax Appeal. We couldn’t wish for better. It was absolutely amazing. Very elegant, very professional [and] it blended perfectly with the ambiance we wanted in the Grand Hall. Thank you again for this perfect evening. I will not hesitate to recommend Sax Appeal to all Museum of History clients!
I have worked with Jarrod Goldsmith of Sax Appeal on many occasions and have always found him to be a very reliable person who is extremely organized. He really is a true leader in all sense of the word. Besides being an exceptional entrepreneur with a unique ensemble, he is an excellent musician who knows the music industry inside-out. Would love to work with Sax Appeal again! I definitively have to agree that their slogan: “Always the right feel with Sax Appeal” is well deserved
I want to thank you and your playing partner for adding a unique element to my/our retirement /house warming party. Our guests were quite impressed with your performance and for our part I must say that you made it very easy for us as we didn’t need to do anything special to accommodate you.
I also appreciated the fact that you decided that a sax duo would be appropriate for our gathering of 35 – 40 guests. I hope I will be able to engage your services for future events and will certainly recommend you to friends and relatives
I recently had the pleasure to photograph Sax Appeal at the Museum of Civilization, and I was extremely impressed. The music was elegant and unique, and not only were they passionate and brilliant musicians, but they were also a wonderful group of gentlemen. I would highly recommend Sax Appeal for any special event as they are sure to impress!
The wisest thing I have done in years is to hire the saxophone quartet called “SAX APPEAL” to entertain at a family gathering in Ottawa. Their music resonated deeply in a way that allowed all of the 50 people of all ages to relax, smile and just plain enjoy the atmosphere in the party room. The quartet has a broad array of music in their program and each and every piece worked wonderfully well!
Jarrod is a consummate professional. He is innovative and knowledgeable as well as talented and dependable. His knowledge of music and his body of work are extensive. He is practiced and passionate about his gift while being a pleasure to work with!
Jarrod is a very talented musician with a good ear. He is very professional and dependable. I had the joy of playing with him in a couple of bands on Montreal. Jarrod shows great knowledge in his sax playing and his music selection. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a well rounded and educated individual and who is very knowledgeable in his field
I've had the pleasure of listening to Jarrod perform on several occasions. He is a talented and charismatic saxophone player who really knows how to get a room moving
We got married on a cool Spring day and we wanted every aspect of our special day to be unique. As we're not big on traditional weddings, we decided to have our ceremony in the morning followed by a brunch filled with delicious breakfast foods. Instead of playing traditional pre-recorded music during the ceremony, we wanted something different.
When my fiancée attended a retirement party where Sax Appeal was performing, she was excited about the prospect of having them play at our wedding. From the moment that we first made contact with Sax Appeal up until the actual wedding day, the quartet was both professional and accommodating. They made things simple by giving us a large list of pieces to pick from and even gave us suggestions on what was appropriate for the different sequences of our ceremony.
Jarrod Goldsmith, the leader of Sax Appeal, also attended our rehearsal the week before! The ceremony went off without a hitch and the accompanying music was absolutely beautiful. After the ceremony, several guests made a point let us know how much they enjoyed the music. It was a unique touch that was both classy and fun. If you're looking for something different to make your wedding as memorable as can be, please keep Sax Appeal in mind. You will not regret it!
