Reviews for Greg Vail Sax online

I initially signed up for a few online booking services, and they did offer some value at first. However, it didn't take long for the market to become saturated with amateurs and hobbyists who owned a saxophone. The cheapest options got the calls, and often, they weren't very good or were a bit unprofessional. I eventually gave up on these services because it wasn't worth the effort to write up proposals only to see money become the sole deciding factor.

All that being said, you can certainly find cheaper options if you don't mind compromising on quality. Just take a look around on these services. Interestingly, some reviews from one of those services recently resurfaced, showcasing what they do well. Here's a look at those reviews from an old page:

Greg Vail was absolutely wonderful! He played at our beach wedding and entertained the guests pre-ceremony, during ceremony and post-ceremony. He is an accomplished and soulful saxophonist and many of our guests commented on what an amazing musician and entertainer he was. He had no problem with our play list, he dressed in a tux, and never missed a cue. He carefully watched the ceremony to fade when one part was over and another beginning. I would highly recommend Greg to anyone interested in hiring a professional, talented and entertaining saxophone player. Definitely a 5 star rating.

What an awesome day we shared! The art show was all cool JAZZ pieces by Chor, and I was honored to be able to draw attention to the exhibit while playing some Jazz Saxophone throughout the day! I think it was a match made in heaven. The turn out was great and the Art Lover's in La Jolla were many of the nicest people I have met! Thanks for posting a review and I am so glad it all worked out for you guys!!

Greg was great, he worked within my budget and prvoided next day service for a wedding. Although there were technical sound challenges ( no fault of Gregs) he improvised. The Bride and Groom were happy and that's what matters most. Thank you again Greg.

Greg performed at my 50th birthday party with two superb performances. The first was during the dinner hour with smooth jazz using his talents on multiple saxophones. The second performance was a live concert hour whereby the guest was able to sit and take in an upbeat performance.

I recommended Greg for any occasion.

Greg Vail and his band have preformed several functions for me. From weddings to fundraisers. Even solo work for musical atmosphere.
He has always delivered way beyond expectation. Completely reliable, and our guests are still raving about how great the music was. He made each event a success. Organized and top notch professional, great personality too. Surprisingly fair pricing for what he delivers. Great value.
Now I call Greg for all my musical talent needs. In fact, I recently had him come in on a PBS filming that our company did. The production team was blown away at the level of talent.
I highly recommend Greg and his team. He always over delivers!
