My guide to booking me as your wedding musician, what’s included and how to choose your wedding music.

To hire me as your wedding musician depends on a few factors including location and total performance time. As a rough guide my prices start from £375.

Please get in touch with all your details if you would like me to give you a quote based on your requirements. I have a more detailed price guide available here.

All PA equipment needed, travel costs and learning up to 2 special requests which aren’t on my song list are included in the price (priority given to ceremony performances/first dance for song requests). Any further song requests are charged at a rate of £15 each, subject to being able to obtain a commercially produced backing track and/or sheet music if required.

This is dependent on what your timings are and what the event requires. For a ceremony performance I suggest between 5-8 songs. For a drinks reception 90-120 minutes of music is usually a good amount. For an evening reception, I would recommend 2 x 45 minute sets. However; I like to accommodate my client’s needs however they envisage the music for their day, so these are just a starting point to work alongside your ideas.

Absolutely! You should only use musicians who have the required certificates, most venues will require a copies of these from your suppliers. I am a member of the Musician’s Union which gives me access to Public Liability cover up to the sum of £10 million and my equipment is PAT tested annually. I also have a DBS certificate which is registered as part of the update service as per my teaching requirements.

Weddings, Hen parties, corporate functions, birthday parties, restaurant background music, private functions, holiday park live act entertainment, New Years Eve parties…. Almost any event or celebration!

As I am a one woman act I only need a small area (ideally near a power supply) for my PA system, although I can also run completely on battery power. If performing alongside a live DJ, I can usually plug my saxophone microphone into their mixing desk and perform on your dance floor or a stage as required.

I’m sure I can! I really enjoy learning new requests so please do ask. To date I’ve never had a request I couldn’t fulfil, although admittedly some songs can be trickier than others. However, I can work closely with you and offer different options along the way if necessary.

Of course! I supply a song list which is usually a good basis for discovering music you may like to have included as part of your day. I’m more than happy to arrange a meeting (online or in person) to help bring your music tastes and song choices together to help form your special day. Have a read of my blog posts for general advice on choosing wedding music here.

I usually perform to backing tracks to give the music a fuller sound, but I can play acapella if you would like a more stripped back ‘live lounge’ style performance for sax. As I have been a wedding musician for many years, I have made great connections with other professional musicians who I can work alongside if you are looking for something a little different. This includes guitarists, pianists and DJ’s. Please get in touch to discuss your ideas! Also, I’m also absolutely not offended if you like the saxophone but don’t want me to sing or vice versa. It’s your day and you should have the music as you like it.

If you’d like to book me for your wedding or event please contact me with details of the date, location and a rough idea of performance times, plus any other important information about your event. I will send out a quote and discuss any ideas and options you may have. When you are happy to accept the booking I will email across a booking form to complete and a £50 deposit is required as a booking fee to secure your date. The remaining balance is due 7 days before your event date.
