Hotel Event•Reviewed on August 23, 2012•From Washington, DC

James was very quick to reply on all email requests and was able to accommodate our requests for a solo sample prior to the event which we really appreciated. He showed up on time and saved us the cost of renting AV by bringing his own sound system which we were able to use for our short program as well. He looked professional and so did the guitarist. I would recommend him for future events.

Private Party•Reviewed on October 16, 2013•From Owings Mills, MD

James was exactly what we were looking for to provide entertainment for our event! He was great with communication from start to finish and very professional but easy going at the same time. He showed up on time and was an all around pleasure. His musical performance really set the mood and everyone loved him! He even took the type of people at the event in to consideration when choosing which style music to focus on which was much appreciated. We will defnitely be using him again in the future and recommend him to anyone looking for a great musician!

Meeting•Reviewed on May 14, 2014•From Washington, DC

James showed up on time and was very accommodating when our general session was running a little late which may have postponed his start time. Luckily, we ended up starting on time and the music was perfect. He didn't mind being background music for our networking event and the crowed enjoyed it and he was open to requests. I'm very glad we had James perform at our cocktail reception for our Annual Conference.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 1, 2014•From Baltimore, MD

Mr James Bjork was Great! From the first time I inquired about hiring a saxophonist, he answered my inquiry within hours. He was always quick to respond to all my emails and he honored my Whitney Houston requests. He arrived prompt to my event and was professional the entire performance. He was even supportive in posing for pictures. I'd definitely hire James Bjork for future events and would also refer him to family/friends.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 4, 2012•From Springfield, VA

My overall experience with James was great! There was just one mishap on the day of that could have been avoided. Overall, I am satisfied and would recommend him to others!

:

Not exactly sure what the mishap was. This wedding started over 30 min late, during which my pianist and I played pleasing lite listening jazz on the fly for the guests as they all sat and waited. As indicated by my whole feedback, I try very hard to leave clients satisfied! For an airtight ceremony, wedding ceremony clients are encouraged to negotiate with me the additional cost of a separate wedding rehearsal attendance/performance, either in a revised bid to reflect that additional time and gas, or as a separate (lower-priced) "booking". This client did not offer to compensate me for that added time and expense.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 19, 2015•From Richmond, VA

Mr. Bjork is a talented musician! He exhibited the utmost professionalism throughout our interaction. He was responsive and flexible. He arrived early to make sure the venue's AV equipment met his needs. He listened to the desires on the honoree and was on point in all matters. I look forward to working with him again.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on April 6, 2016•From Sandston, VA

Mr. James Bjork was amazing. My guest enjoyed the smooth eloquent sound of the way he played the saxophone. On a scale of 1-10 he gets a 10 and I defintely will recommend him to friends or family. Thank you James for gracing my sister 's wedding with your presence and music.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 21, 2015•From Free Union, VA

James was extremely professional and talented. My wedding reception was on top of a Mountain inside of a beautiful mountain home . After making the stressful drive to the top of the mountain on a hot summer day, James arrived and was very professional. He set up his equipment , started playing his saxophone, and was as cool as a cucumber : ) I simply cannot say enough good things about him. James always kept the lines of communication open, was readily available, timely, gracious and a true artist. My guests could not stop talking about his performance and were very impressed with him. I highly recommend James for you're next event.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 30, 2017•From Yorktown, VA

James BLEW our 60+ guests away with his professionalism and sheer musical talent. I would hire him 20 times over if I had enough to celebrate! James enhanced the level of "class" added to my father's 60th surprise party. HIRE HIM! :) -Allyssa M. Joseph
