Latest reviews of our Saxophonists in Buckinghamshire
"We had toyed with the idea of a saxophonist at our wedding reception for a while, debating whether it would fit into our budget, but then we came across Laura, who offered a very competitive quote, that even included travel. We're so glad we booked - our guests (and us) loved what Laura brought to the evening; she was able to adapt to the music quickly, and she worked perfectly with our DJ. We kept her a surprise from guests and she arrived promptly and discretely to keep this up. We would definitely recommend Laura if you're considering a saxophonist for your event."

FAQs about hiring Saxophonists in Buckinghamshire
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
What kind of music can a saxophonist play?
The most popular genres that saxophonists play are jazz music, funk, pop, R&B, blues, reggae, ska, and soul/Motown. However, saxophonists can play practically anything, from modern pop to classical music to soulful jazz, making them a popular choice for everything from birthday parties to corporate events.
How long will a saxophonist play for?
A saxophonist will typically perform two to three 45-minute performances. Of course, depending on the scheduling of your event, they can be flexible, but bear in mind that they will need short 10-15 minute rests after their sets to collect their breath! Make sure to ask one of our fantastic saxophonists how they set up their set times; they may be able to personalise it specifically for your needs.
Can a saxophonist take requests?
Yes but check their song list first, as your request might already be on there. Otherwise, notify your saxophonist in advance; if they are unfamiliar with your music, they will need time to prepare. While most saxophonists would learn an additional song for free, keep in mind that some may charge for this additional service (especially if you want them to learn numerous more songs).
How far in advance should I book a saxophonist?
We recommend booking as soon as possible, especially if you have specific songs in mind, but at Encore, we manage last-minute reservations all the time and can easily find a saxophone on short notice.
