Solo Saxophone Music for Your Wedding

Looking to elevate the atmosphere and vibe on your special day? Adding a solo sax player to your wedding can really take things up a level! When working with couples, I always provide a high degree of versatility and flexibility - I customize my performance to meet your taste as well as the specifics of the event (cocktail hour, pre-ceremony, etc.). While playing sax at your wedding, I’m happy to focus on certain genres or artists.

If you’d like me to perform at your ceremony, grand entrance, or first dance, I will learn your requested songs and deliver a flawless performance that puts further gloss on your memory of the day. Here’s a closer look at the solo wedding sax services that I offer.

  • Sax for Pre-Ceremony: Treat your guests to beautiful solo saxophone music as they arrive at your wedding. My tasteful mix of songs will greet your guests, set the mood while everyone settles in before your wedding ceremony, and serve as the perfect sonic backdrop.

  • Sax for Ceremony: Enjoy a soulful, flawless saxophone rendition of all requested songs during your processional and recessional.

  • Sax for Cocktail Hour: When playing sax at cocktail hour, I can focus on playing upbeat, classic jazz songs. But I’m equally happy to perform selections from the Pop, Latin, or Soul genres during your social hour.

  • Sax for Grand Entrance: There’s nothing like making an energetic, flashy entrance that you and your guests will remember for years. I’m happy to play solo sax during your grand entrance and ramp up the excitement.

  • Sax for First Dance: The first dance at a wedding is always a tender, moving moment. I will play your requested song with the level of care and emotion that the occasion calls for.

Solo Saxophone Music for Weddings - FAQ

While I’m more than happy to answer all of your questions when we chat about your big day, here are some that often come up when I’m providing solo saxophone music for a wedding.

Do you play saxophone music with backing tracks?

It’s up to you! I am happy to play with backing tracks at any event that I book. I have a catalog of over 10,000 professionally recorded backing tracks that are played by real musicians. This allows me to play virtually any song that you would like, and ensures that my musical backing sounds super high-quality and authentic - just like my sax playing! Your guests might not even realize that it’s a solo saxophone playing, and not a full band.

Do you provide your own amplification?

In most cases - yes! I have a moderately-sized portable PA. It’s loud enough for most small and medium-sized spaces. It’s also wireless and battery operated. This means I can seamlessly provide solo saxophone music at your wedding even if a power source isn’t close by - such as a wedding ceremony out on the beach, in a field, etc. Because it’s wireless, my equipment setup is super clean and streamlined - no unsightly tangle of cords! For bigger and louder event spaces, I may need the venue or couple to provide access to a larger PA.

What songs should I play at my cocktail hour?

When adding solo saxophone music to your wedding cocktail hour, classic jazz is a popular and timeless choice. However, another option for social hour that I often recommend is jazzy pop songs (think Nora Jones, John Legend). Or, including pop songs that can be re-imagined and played in a jazz style - even if the original recording is not particularly jazzy. I’m able to draw on my musicianship and deep catalog of backing tracks to make a wide variety of artists and genres sound fantastic when played on the saxophone - even if the original songs weren’t played on sax.

Why should I book you to play solo saxophone at my wedding?

My 10 years of professional experience playing weddings and corporate events allows me to deliver a flawless saxophone performance. But it also means that I am equipped to work out all details in advance of the event, and that any unforeseen changes on the day of are handled with grace and agility.
