Ignatius is a model professional! My wife and I needed his services at our wedding and he collaborated successfully with two other artists to form an ensemble. Everyone loved the music and we will most definitely be using him again in the future. He communicates exceptionally well, punctual and excellent value for money! Thank you Ignatius!!

Your event created the kind of audience I rarely get to play for, such a variety of ages and ethnicities, all gathered together to enjoy the food, the music, and each other's company! I was beside myself - and "we both" had a great time!

Ignatius was absolutely wonderful. He was punctual, responsive, extremely professional and the range of music he was able to perform in the 2 hours he performed at my event was nothing short of impressive. My guests loved it, he provided such a classy touch that they were raving about the next day. With one of them texting me saying “I’m still dreaming about your event last night!” I give him a 10/10 and will be inviting him to my next special event!

Thanksgiving Day dinner is a special, sentimental gathering that only happens once a year. Ima, you entrusted me and my saxophones to maintain that sentimental atmosphere while your family broke bread together! Thank you!!
