FAQs
I can either play along to backing tracks played on my PA speakers (usually a specially curated Spotify playlist of all your favourite song requests). These songs can also be instrumental versions on special request. If you have already booked a DJ, I'm more than happy to perform alongside them too, plugging in to their system so my Sax comes through their speakers. If you would like me to perform over the course of the whole day, I'm happy to perform to backing tracks earlier in the day, and then perform alongside your DJ in the evening! Just select the "COMBO" option when you go to book!
I have 3x packages, Sax with your pre-booked DJ, (from £350), Sax with backing tracks (from £400), and COMBO: Sax with backing tracks then Sax with your DJ in the evening (from £450). My quotes also depend on the event type, day, month, location, and length of set(s). If you can fill out my short booking form here I'll send you through a few quotes bespoke to your needs either today or tomorrow!
The Sax and Backing Tracks package (and COMBO package) includes one or two identical speaker stacks (an HK Audio Polar 12), as well as my wireless mic system to level my Sax with the music. If I'll be performing background music in one area, I'll bring one speaker stack. If I'll be performing in two or more areas around your venue I'll bring two and set them both up so I can quickly move between areas. I will also bring two if I'll be providing music for an evening party. If I perform alongside your pre-booked DJ, I simply bring my Sax with my wireless mic system and plug into their system (with their permission of course!).
I'm happy to travel nationwide and abroad but I'm based in Colchester, Essex and travel expenses are calculated from there, all included in the price of my quotes. To get an accurate quote based on your location: head over to my short 2 minute booking form and I can send you an accurate quote either later today or tomorrow. I look forward to hearing from you!
Unlike many Sax players I don't have set packages, preferring to base my quotes on the bespoke needs of each client. I will send through quotes for 60x minutes, 90x minutes, 2x hours and 3x hours. All of these options can be split throughout the day at no additional cost! I don't charge for breaks between sets, however long! For example: 30x minutes during your ceremony (bride entrance, registration background music and exit music), 90x minutes during your wedding reception and 1x hour alongside your DJ at the wedding party would be 3x hours of performance time. I don’t charge for breaks in between, however long. I can play for up to 2x hours straight through, though would recommend shorter sets with breaks. For Sax and Backing tracks sets, I'll be happy to provide a background music playlist during my breaks so there's always music!
I can play during: - your guests welcome (before the ceremony), - the ceremony (bride entrance, registration background music and exit music), - your confetti run,- during your wedding reception drinks (directly after the ceremony), - your wedding breakfast entrance song- your wedding breakfast (the meal), - Cocktail Hour, after your wedding breakfast but before the party, - your First Dance,- as well as alongside your DJ during the wedding party. I only charge for performance time so if you wanted 30x minutes during the guests welcome and then 2x 45 minute sets with your DJ at the Wedding Party, that's the same as just 2x hours! I don’t charge for breaks in between, however long! If you have any questions about this you're more than welcome to email or call me, details found here.
If you could fill out my short booking form here, I'll be able to provide you with some accurate quotes via email either later today or tomorrow. If you would like to proceed at that point, I'll send through a link to pay the deposit (usually £100) which confirms the booking. Let me know if I'm unavailable on the calendar and I'll be able to provide you with a few replacements. More than happy to help if you have any questions too!
Unlike some other Sax players, I can play proficiently by ear along to anything your DJ plays! This means that I don't bring my own playlist to plug into their system, and don't ask the DJ to play songs exclusively from my song lists, they're free to play whatever they like, as well as any of your requests! All I require is a jack input into their system so my Sax can be amplified and heard through the speakers over the mix. If you or your DJ would like more information about this, click here! If you have any questions about this please get in touch and I'll be happy to help!
I have personal liability insurance from the Musician's Union for up to £10m and PAT test all the equipment I use yearly. You can view and download both of these certificates for your venue here. Please note that these renew yearly, so the current download might be out of date by the time of your future event. Rest assured that there will always be a renewed and valid certificate when your event comes around!
