Saxophonists & Saxophone Players South East

For a solo saxophonist prices range from around £450 - £900 depending on the musician's experience, popularity and how far they have to travel. For those with professional DJs the price will be higher.

Saxophone players are incredibly versatile with the type of music they play. During the day they'll offer a range of styles, from classic jazz standards to pop and rock classics to Ibiza Chill-style tracks. At night, choose from improvised club classics, massive house tracks or upbeat pop and rock party favourites. Check each saxophonist's repertoire for their specialism to help you choose the right one for your event.

The length of time a saxophone player is on stage varies depending on the time of day they perform, whether they are required to improvise and the style of music they play. Generally you can expect at least 2x 45-minute sets but some live saxophonists perform for longer. 

If you're hiring a saxophonist who performs with backing tracks they will usually provide a playlist of songs to play during the break between sets so there's no need to hire a separate DJ. Many saxophonists play alongside a pro-DJ as the main part of their act. In this instance the DJ usually keeps performing while the saxophonist is taking a breather. A few acts are happy to perform alongside a resident DJ but do not provide music of their own so it's really important to clarify this before hiring a saxophone player.

Saxophonists are becoming incresaingly popular as wedding and event entertainment and are often booked over a year in advance. Our advice when it comes to hiring a saxophone player is to book as soon as you can to avoid disappointment.

Most saxophonists are more than happy to learn and perform a unique rendition of your first dance song for free! Having your first dance song performed live enhances this intimate moment and makes it extra special. As with any type of act, it's always best to check with your adviser that your chosen saxophonist offers this service. While a few don't, others will offer to learn more than one song so it's always a bonus when they do!

The sound check for a solo saxophonist usually takes around half an hour or less. The musicians are extremely discreet and you'll barely notice they're there!

There's no need to source any technical equipment at all when you hire a saxophonist. They'll bring their own PAT tested equipment with them.
