From the moment I came into contact with Jan, the cooperation was very pleasant. Jan is very thoughtful and finds it just as important as the organizer that the event is a success. The wonderful saxophone sounds provide a nice summer atmosphere. Highly recommended!

The coordination with Jan before and during the evening was very pleasant. The music was meant to be supportive and was also performed in that way. Good for conversation and dancing as we hoped.

We can look back on a beautiful and pleasant day organized for the residents of Symphony. It was a beautiful sunny day in June where the residents could sit outside with a delicious barbecue and a cozy get-together. After the barbecue there was a pleasant get-together with musical support from Jan van Oort. Jan entertained the residents with his cozy music on his saxophone where the residents made a dance and had a lot of fun among themselves. Thank you Jan for your contribution, the residents enjoyed your performance.

Great performance. Jan felt the atmosphere well and tuned the music to it. Everything we agreed in advance Jan fulfilled. So highly recommended.

Jan took care of the musical interpretation at our wedding, we look back on this with a very good feeling! We really appreciate the way he filled in our evening, with an eye for the company he knew exactly how to play the right music, which created a wonderful lounge atmosphere. We got a lot of nice reactions on this! We had nice contact beforehand to coordinate our wishes. Jan is a professional who from the first moment gave us the feeling that it was all right. Thank you Jan, and keep up the good work!

We enjoyed the performance of saxophonist Jan. He performed with his own playlist, during our Ibiza garden party. The beautiful saxophone sounds gave the evening even more shine We had discussed our wishes well in advance. He responded quickly to our messages and thought along well. Nice to work with and we look back on a wonderful party evening.

The performance was expected and created a festive atmosphere during our company party
May 2019,
A very relaxed performance which has contributed to a very pleasant get-together for my 60th birthday. A saxophonist who knows how to steal hearts inconspicuously with beautiful songs.
March 2019, Menno
Jan and dre gave the DJ a great evening! Building up the dj set up was done within half an hour and the show that was turned down after that went very smoothly with top music and high quality! All in all Jan made it a beautiful and unforgettable evening!
January 2019,
We hired Jan van Oort to perform during the lustrum gala of our study association. We could not have wished for a better saxophonist, he played along to the music of the DJ and gave a lot of atmosphere! Also on songs he didn't know he could improvise very well and he made a party out of it! We had such a good time that we finally asked him to perform another half hour longer. I can recommend it to everyone to hire Jan as saxophonist at your party!

November 2018,
Jan gave a fantastic performance. He managed to get the atmosphere right and was, for us very nice, "inconspicuously" present.
September 2018,
We delivered songs to Jan, and he played them fantastic at our wedding during the reception at the waterfront. He also played his own rehearsal in the same genre and atmosphere. Because Jan played in the background of our reception, the guests enjoyed themselves very well. I can recommend Jan to everyone, he comes well on time and keeps his appointments very well.
July 2018,
Jan was very professional and got everyone dancing. He quickly made contact with the guests but did not do this too emphatically. He responded smoothly to the audience and what was going on around him. It was a fantastic party!
May 2018, TJ
Jan is at home in all music markets. In addition, he is pleasant and flexible in his contact. "it's your party, so say it." He thinks it's important that the guests have a good time. Contributes to a cozy atmosphere and moves between the guests. Anticipates requests. Also on the youth present by playing along with the "not" musical actions of the regionally popular KAFKE All in all a successful party, good music, nice weather and a beautiful location.
November 2017, Rini
On November 4, 2017 in the Drommedaris in Enkhuizen during our 40 years together. Jan gave us a great evening. Jan had already neatly prepared his things that we arrived. Jan feels good how the atmosphere is and responds to that. Every now and then the feet off the floor and then a bit slow again. Everyone was full of praise about Jan and the guests had never seen a Saxophonist before at a party like this that makes it even more fun. It was also a surprise for most people we were able to keep it pretty quiet. Jan is also a very nice person, flexible, friendly and quiet. (via Facebook)
September 2017, Masha
On September 23rd 2017 Jan made a fantastic contribution to our wedding day at Groot Warnsborn in Arnhem. During the ceremony he accompanied several songs beautifully and afterwards during the drink he created a fantastic atmosphere. Jan is a breed artist, but also very flexible and very pleasant in the contact (via Facebook)
August 2017, Eric
"On August 5, 2017, after 30 years of marriage, we have again made our wedding vows to each other. And Jan played during our party. After having made the first contact with Jan van Oort we immediately got a nice and good feeling. We discussed a few things by phone about the genre to be played, the location, time and the budget to be spent. On our wedding day we didn't have to arrange anything at all. He set everything up silently and when we entered the room it was partying from the first minute until the last minute. We and our guests were completely happy, there was even dancing. Jan thank you very much for your musical entertainment. We really enjoyed it." (via Facebook)
