"Edmond, was just wonderful. I got in touch with him through Gigmasters and it was by far the best thing I did for my wedding. I called him again four months out and he had me on his calender with detail information of the event. I never met him until after the wedding ceromony. When I was up stairs getting ready I asked was he here and my sister said yes and playing beautiful jazz. He was dressed in like colors, and looked as if he was apart of the wedding party. Durring dinner he played songs to fit all ages. My husband and I can truely say he was just a dear to be apart of my wedding. With over 300 people in a 5 star hotel he was priceless.
Thank You,
"

"We contracted Mr. Baker to play at my son's wedding on short notice and were lucky he was available on the date we requested. He is extremely professional and worked with the bride and groom in making their day special. He accommodated our requests for certain songs and when he played those first few notes, I knew we had made the right choice. Mr. Baker is a talented musician and I can see why he receives all those accolades. He even asked for the wedding colors so he could dress accordingly! I would certainly recommend Mr. Baker to anyone wanting to add class and a great performance to any event. Thank you Mr. Baker and GigMasters for making dreams come true."

Graduation Party

"All I can say about Mr. Baker is he exceeded all my expectations. I had hired Mr. Baker for a small backyard graduation party as a DJ/Saxophone player. I had informed Mr. Baker before hand, that most of my family weren’t dancers but were lovers of good music and as I continue to speak to Mr. Baker I decided that I would leave the entertainment completely in his hands as one’s does when you know you’re speaking to a professional. And may I add I wasn’t disappointed. If you’re looking for a professional, someone who know what need to be done without being told, Mr. Baker is the man. "

This guy is one class act..Although he had at least a thirteen hour drive and only had a few hours of rest, the show was fantastic. He was prompt, professionally dressed, and ready to perform..I would recommend him to anyone who wants to hire a professional..His saxophone peformance truly displays a talented individual. He controled the crowd with his great selection of music and everyone truly wants him back to Tn to perform again...Good luck Edmond you are awesome...we love you"

Edmond Baker, Jr.’s Response:
"This girl is a liar! I came all the way from the southside of Houston to downtown Dallas to provide the entertainment for $475 for 4hrs. I had to start earlier than agreed because guests began arriving about 45min early & she even short changed me $5 by giving me $470. I only danced ONE TIME with an older lady who didn't have a partner towards the end of the reception (only a handful of people were still there). The food was also buffet style, so if I had so much time on my hands how come I didn't get one bite of food all night! She booked me almost a year ago & even though I had numerous calls to play for more money on that date I still honored my word to her."

"I called with a request for Edmund to play for my husband's birthday. The challenge was that it was to be just the two of us in a private but somewhat small dining room. Edmund was punctual, professional and was able to accommodate us with the perfect choice of music as well as making it sound wonderful in such a small room, which could not have been easy. Overall, we were very satisfied and would ot only hire Edmund again but strongly recommend him for any event."

"Our vision for our wedding day was a intimate event with close family and friends. The setting was wonderful and Edmond Baker was awesome! He performed for the ceremony and 30 minutes afterwards. Such class! I will be using him again. One suggestion is to increase the selections of music. I found Exceptional Music very easy to book. This was the only vendor that I booked based on reviews and the website.
