Carl Bartlett, Jr.

"My name is Ayana and my Husband's name is Malik. Our wedding was August 28, 2022 @ 6pm. We chose Terrace  On The Park as our venue because of it's beautiful view and wedding package. It suited us well so it was only right that our vendors came with this same expectation. When searching for a saxophonist I did a Facebook search in the Blaque Network group, and a few others. I was drawn to Carl because of his confidence and knowledge. I knew right away his was a fit. We booked Carl for our wedding ceremony and let me tell you!! We have absolutely no regrets.  This man is amazingly talented. I mean, we we're blown away. Walking down the aisle while hearing Luther Vandross acapella was an amazing feeling. I didn't want the traditional music. Hearing the Sax just boosted my confidence and helped my nerves down the aisle. Our guests we're in awe. Many of them have never experienced this at a wedding. I could see the twinkle in their eyes as I passed them. When he played, it was like everyone and everything was still, or frozen. I was so proud and get excited everytime I think about it. This was definitely one of my wedding highlights. I would highly recommend Carl. 5 out of 5. 10 out of 10. Don't hesitate and miss such a classy, upscale feel at your event. The service was easy to retain, and Carl is a 100% professional,  which is very important to me. Don't waste your time looking elsewhere,  he's your guy!" — Ayana & Malik Braddox

"We were in search of a saxophonist for our wedding as that is one of our favorite instruments. After a long, exhausting search we were referred to Carl. From the moment we connected with Carl we knew that we were in good hands as he was patient, confident and passionate about music. 

 a. An unforgettable moment was standing at the altar gazing into each others eyes as Carl played "Here and Now" by Luther Vandross, both of us shedding tears of joy as the melody serenaded the ears of everyone who filled the church. 

b. Carl set the tone for cocktail hour as he played to the cadence of some of our favorite tunes which included My, My, My -Johnny Gill, Sumthin' Sumthin' -Maxwell, Tonight (Best You Ever Had) -John Legend, Leave the Door Open -Bruno Mars, The One He Kept For Me -Maurette Brown Clarke, Comfortable -H.E.R.

c. Carl made our experience nothing short of amazing as he listened to our ideas and bought them to life. The communication was clear and concise, he was punctual and professional. His music was melodious and rhythmic which really created an amazing ambiance. We are grateful to have had the pleasure of working with Carl and would recommend him as his work speaks for itself!" — Samara & Tashawn Tate

"We, Michael and Kala Surin, are honored to write such a wonderful review for Carl! Our wedding took place on Halloween 2021 at The Piermont in Babylon, NY. Carl playing for our first dance was not only a pleasant surprise, but we later found out this was a gift to honor the music of Jazz for my late grandfather who past the Sunday prior to the wedding. As if a wedding is not already a bundle of emotions, sharing the dance floor with my husband as well as the same first dance song as my parents, Carl was the icing on our 4 tier wedding cake! Beautiful serenades were made during our reception that helped make our wedding memorable to us and all of our guests. I 100% support any couple out there considering this service; the extra special touch on an extra special day. Carl, thank you for the unforgettable experience!" — Michael & Kala Surin

"To be honest I can not exactly remember how we found Carl, I think he may have got his number from a local music store. 

Either way it was one of the GREATEST decisions we made for our wedding! 

Carl really set the mood for our entire wedding. 

His musical talent is BEYOND measure. 

I mean how many people can say they had a saxophonist playing “When a man loves a woman” while they walked down the isle.

Carl Bartlett, Jr. is a MUST have vendor for your Big Day or ANY other important event you may have coming up!" — Randi & Jonathan Ross
