Professional Wedding Saxophone player, performing live solo saxophone for weddings, parties & events Everyone knows that the Sax is a classy, sexy & sophisticated instrument! So let me bring my saxophones, along with my wide & varied mix of soulful favourites, smooth jazz, classic motown & more, to play for you and create the perfect ambience with an extra special memory for you & your guests. With many years of live experience across London & the home counties of Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Middlesex and further into Essex & Kent, you're guaranteed a superb musical performance - the ideal choice during your drinks reception, wedding breakfast, photographs & more. A little bit about me as there are so many saxophonists for you to choose from!

My musical career has seen me playing in West End shows, on cruise ships, as a session player for many top recording artists, as part of many top function bands...the list goes on, but I certainly wouldn't brag about the names that I've played with!

Hello Jon - We just wanted to write and thank you sooooo much for the fantastic performance you gave at our wedding in July. We thought you were absolutely amazing and we are so pleased that we booked you! The selection of songs you did were all excellent, and we particularly liked your version of 'Have I Told You Lately'

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, that’s no problem at all & is provided free of charge.

How much time do you need to set up?

I like to arrive about 90 minutes before to make sure there’s plenty of time to set up & make sure everything is tidy. As soon as my PA is set up I can provide a free playlist to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for my live performance!

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Yes that’s no problem - my set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best, but I’m happy to chat through and add any specific requests.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! I bring my own instrument to play acoustically & through my PA system.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn, I am happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
