When Is the Best Time to Have a Saxophonist at a Wedding?
A live saxophonist can perform during several parts of your wedding day.
Drinks Reception
Perfect for creating a relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere while guests enjoy drinks. Soulful House, chilled Ibiza classics and popular songs work particularly well.
Wedding Breakfast
Live saxophone can provide elegant background entertainment while your guests enjoy their meal.
Evening Reception
One of the most popular options is combining a saxophonist with a professional DJ.
The DJ provides continuous music while the saxophonist joins in during selected tracks, creating an energetic, Ibiza-inspired atmosphere on the dance floor.
Is a DJ & Sax Wedding Package Worth It?
If you want the flexibility of a professional DJ alongside the excitement of live music, a DJ & Sax package is a fantastic choice.
You’ll enjoy a wide variety of music, from House and Disco to R&B, Garage, Pop and wedding classics, with live saxophone performances adding an extra dimension.
Our DJ & Sax wedding packages start from £1,400, with extended and premium options available.
We can also provide live percussionists and vocalists to create a bespoke entertainment experience.
