Hire a Wedding Saxophone Player:

• Wedding Ceremony Entertainment:     
  

Are you looking to hire a Sax Player near you as entertainment at your wedding ceremony?

They can play a classical or traditional wedding song or something romantic with a modern twist at that all important moment when the bride walks down the aisle. Maybe you can arrange for them to play something like the classic Percy Sledge hit ‘When a Man Loves a woman’. Or, how about ‘A Million Love Songs’ by Take That? Your Sax Player can also play a celebratory song as family and friends leave the ceremony.

• Wedding Drinks Reception Entertainment:

A wedding saxophonist can be a really good otion for drinks reception  entertainment - when the bride and groom are busy posing in the wedding photos etc, and the guests socialise and drink that first glass of champagne, a professional Sax Player can be moving around from guest to guest, playing tunes that span the decades. 

Wedding Breakfast Entertainment:

Maybe you will be looking to hire a Saxophonist for the wedding breakfast for when the newlyweds are meeting and greeting family and friends at the dining area/main hall? A Sax Player can totally transform the gaps between these points at a wedding. The Saxophonist can be the one relaxing people and getting all of your family and friends in the right, soulful mood!

• Wedding Evening Reception Entertainment:

A wedding Sax Player can play his or her way through renditions of ‘Baker Street’ by Gerry Rafferty, ‘Edge of Glory’ by Lady Gaga, ‘Careless Whisper’ by George Michael, and ‘Smooth Operator’ by Sade for your evening reception. There are many more classic saxophone songs besides and a saxophonist can even get funky by playing over a backing track - or calm the night and create an amazing atmosphere by simply playing solo. How about a beautiful rendition of the 1960’s classic ’Stand by Me’? Or maybe some Jazzy Frank Sinatra with a cover of ‘Fly Me to the Moon’? Just search our directory to find saxophonists to hire near you.

How much do Saxophonists cost to hire?

Our easy-to-use entertainment directory allows you to search for the best Saxophonists in your area (or who are able to travel to your event) and then use the contact form to message them requesting a quote for your event. Some acts will also add a rough price guide to their profile for your convenience.

What are the usual set formats and performance lengths for Sax Players?

A Saxophone Player can tailor their performance to times that will suit you and your event, however, on average a professional Saxophone Player will perform for two 45 minutes sets.

How much space will a Saxophonist need at your event?

A Saxophonist is very compact musician who will not need that much space for performing. As the instrument is carried, all the Sax Player will require is the space around him or her to play their instrument comfortablly. We advise a staage area that is no smaller than 3x3 metres.

What equipment and set up requirements do Saxophonists need?

As with most artists on Entertainersworldwide.com, a Saxophone Player will provide most of their own equipment. This may include: a music stand, sheet music and the saxophone itself we hope! You may also want to enquire if an artist needs a PA to amplify their sound when you contact our entertainers.
