Hi, I’m the Entertainment Director of SSE, Ryan Youmans. We are Central Texas’s premier boutique agency for classy live saxophonists.
I’ve been playing music and performing for others my entire life. Through my experiences as a Street Performer, Army Bandsmen, Band Leader and Music Educator, I’ve realized something incredible about Music:
Playing music for others is a superpower.
Music is a Universal Language that all people naturally understand. Music is the language of emotion. Music is what binds us together. Music is powerful.
At Soulful Sax Entertainment, we absolutely understand and appreciate how important your special day is. My promise to you is to do everything in my power to elevate that experience and give you memories that will last a lifetime. We’re looking forward to Entertaining you and your Guests!
If you want a live musician for any part of your wedding, whether it be the ceremony or the cocktail hour, Ryan is the BEST. He played his saxophone for the cocktail hour at our wedding and brought just the vibe we were looking for while people were grabbing drinks and waiting to go inside the reception hall. He was super professional, brought his own setup, and had it ready to go before my ceremony even started. He was very communicative and worked super well with both myself and our wedding coordinator, to make sure he had everything he needed to play. He was also able to provide us with some of the songs he was going to play beforehand, just to “ok” the vibe he was going for; It was an immediate yes to his playlist and he even mentioned that we could give him requests if I had some. Our guests really enjoyed the live aspect of his performance and were recording him and taking pictures the whole time. It just brought a more interactive aspect to our cocktail hour vs just having our DJ play some music from a speaker. We 100/10 recommend Ryan to anyone who wants a professional and talented musician for their next event!

We cannot recommend Ryan enough! From the very first time we had him play at our restaurant, he was extremely professional, with excellent communication prior to our event date, plus setting up early, smart attire and stellar saxophone skills! Just fantastic! He played a wide variety and engaged the crowd, making new jazz fans in the process. You will not regret having him at any event!
Troy Lumberyard & Tavern
Ryan is easy to talk to and easy to work with. It isn’t lost on him that the audience is part of the performance too. He acts with integrity, is a natural communicator, and is a musician of the people.

A non-refundable deposit of $500 & signed contract is required to reserve your date for live painting services. All custom painting commissions done in studio require a 50% deposit. Due to high demand it is recommended to book as early as possible especially for peak Texas wedding season in the Fall. Availability is not guaranteed but in the event I am already booked, please inquire about my custom commissions from photographs.
A few weeks prior to your event, I will consult with you about the final details of the big day, including final timeline, floor plans, decor, and all the details that you would like incorporated in the scene. Upon consultation I will create a mock sketch for you to approve the final layout of your painting.
The day of your event I will arrive 2-3 hours prior to the ceremony start to set up and begin painting.
I will paint on site live at your event for approximately 5-10 hours depending on the size of the canvas and the level of detail chosen.
Your live Wedding Painting will be 80-95% complete by the end of the event. I will complete additional details in studio and the finished painting will be available for pick up or shipping 6-12 weeks after your event. For the exception of Clients purchasing greeting cards, they will have their paintings will have an expedited completion of 2-4 weeks post event.
Some venues such as Churches will not allow for a live artist to paint in the interior. In such cases there are limitations at a ceremony site, I will take reference photos of the ceremony and paint live at the reception. Please designate a 5’x5’ space at the reception with access to an electrical outlet and extra chair. To maintain the top quality of your artwork, outdoor painting spaces can be designated if weather conditions are not rainy, not excessively windy, not in direct sun with over a 90 degree temperature, or in temperatures below 50 degrees.
The full balance for live painting services will be due 1 week prior to your event. All custom painting commissions must be paid for in full upon the paintings completion before delivery
Due to high demand, ALL deposits & money paid towards your painting is non-refundable. If you wish to cancel services, you may use any funds paid towards your live painting service towards a future event or custom commission done in studio.
