So good, Life of the party

We had Matt for our wedding. First of all I need to say his communication and understanding were second to none. From the very start, he played and ran with any of our ideas. We had two video chats where he explained what he could do and what he needed. He even mixed our own first dance song.

On the day, he was prompt and hit a very unique niche of both professionalism and flexibility, dealing with issues that arose promptly and unnoticed.

He sax skills are truely amazing, everyone was enthralled and at the end of the day, was what everyone was talking about. Honestly, he was the party.

Excellent addition

We had mat on our wedding day to play the sax and was the best decision we made, everyone enjoyed it. It was a hot day and he took the sax outside when people went to the garden area. It was a really good experience and a surprise to all our guests.
Would highly recommend mat for your big day or party’s.

Ideal combination of music for your party!

We recently hired Matt for our work party and I can confidentially say it was best choice we've made. Looking at few parties back we've had with different dj's, usually provided or recommended by a hotel, we had no idea it would make such a big difference and bring our event to the whole next level.

It was amazing from the beginning till the end! Already during our dinner everyone was amazed by his performance on saxophone and kept complimenting an idea of combination live saxophone and dj. Also he had people dancing all night too and the night was just brill! So if you're looking to create an unique experience and have a full blast of party, I can’t recommend Matt highly enough. He's a professional with a massive talent!

Simply the BEST!

We had an absolutely amazing day thanks to our incredible DJ and saxophonist Matt! From the very beginning, he went above and beyond—accommodating our request to start early and setting the perfect tone for the entire event. His talent as both a DJ and live sax player truly elevated the atmosphere, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved him. He led the day seamlessly, reading the crowd perfectly and keeping the energy just right from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add something special and unforgettable to their event!

Would 10000% recommend! Fantastic musician through and through!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Matt Foks as our DJ and saxophonist for our wedding, and honestly — we couldn't have asked for anyone better. From the very first message, Matt was easy to communicate with, super responsive, and totally understood the vibe we were going for.

On the day, he was there with us from start to finish, going way above and beyond his role — helping us with microphones, managing the tech side of things seamlessly, and making sure everything ran smoothly. It made such a difference having someone that calm, helpful, and professional around. And when it came to the music… what a party. The dance floor was packed all night, and we’re still getting messages from guests telling us how amazing the music was. He read the crowd perfectly, brought so much energy, and truly made the evening unforgettable.

Matt was not only professional and reliable but also just a genuinely lovely person to have around on such an important day. He completely nailed our vision and added his own flair in all the right places. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough — if you’re lucky enough to have Matt at your event, you’re in very good hands.

Great DJ all over!

We had Matt Foks as the DJ and saxophonist for our 40th birthday party, and he was absolutely brilliant! From start to finish, he brought incredible energy and really set the tone for an unforgettable night. His live sax performances were a real showstopper—everyone was so impressed and kept asking where we found him! Matt worked incredibly hard the entire evening, barely taking a break, and it truly showed in the quality and consistency of his performance. The dance floor was full all night, and his seamless blend of DJing and live sax made the atmosphere electric. Highly recommend Matt for any celebration—you won’t be disappointed!

The James’s wedding reception

Matt blew us all away at our wedding reception. So many people have commented on how truly amazing he was. We really struggled deciding on a first dance song and after coming across Matt online I just knew we wanted it playing on Sax, and it was everything we had hoped for. Communication on the lead up to the day was brilliant, very smooth service for booking.
Did such a good job at keeping the party going and everyone up on the dancefloor. Will most definitely recommend your services to everyone. Just fantastic!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
