Reviews of Dave Colebourn Saxes

We’re so glad we chose Dave as our saxophonist, he was incredible from start to finish. From the very beginning, he was so communicative, explained everything clearly, and made the whole (already super simple) process on Encore really easy and stress-free.

He got us genuinely excited, and you can tell he absolutely loves what he does. During the ceremony drinks, he played all our favourite songs beautifully, which created such a special atmosphere for the family. Then when he teamed up with the DJ, the energy was buzzing - everyone was up dancing and having the best time!

Thank you, Dave, you truly made our day! I hope you see you at another celebration!

The whole experience with Dave was brilliant from start to finish. He catered to my song requests, kept in touch ahead of the evening, arrived super early and was a complete crowd pleaser for the whole event. He also worked excellently with the DJ and they had guests on the dancefloor all night. Would 100% recommend Dave, and will sure be using him again.

Dave was there not just on time but early, I asked him to learn a song for me and he did it amazingly, everyone loved him and he sounded so good and the way the set list was put together everyone was dancing

We booked Dave to play sax at our family birthday celebration last night and he was absolutely incredible from start to finish. He was so accommodating and easy to communicate with, even managing to put together an amazing set of all our favourite songs at very short notice.

Dave instantly brought the party to life! His energy, talent, and feel for the room were spot on. Everyone was talking about how fantastic he was! On top of being a brilliant musician, he’s a lovely person.

Dave is exceptional and I would highly recommended! Many thanks 🙏

1 word to describe Dave is WOW!

Dave was absolutely fantastic at our wedding at the weekend. He had all the guests up on their feet dancing in between courses. We and everyone loved every second. Thank you so much! Truly brilliant musician!

We had Dave play at our engagement party and he was absolutely incredible! From the moment he arrived, he brought such a fun, friendly energy and instantly set the tone for the night. His sax skills were unreal! Every song had the crowd going, and the vibe was just unmatched. Everyone was talking about how amazing he was and how much atmosphere he added. Couldn’t recommend him enough for any event (aiming to see him again at our wedding!!!) pure talent and such a great guy. Thanks so much Dave

We’re so glad we chose Dave for our wedding — he truly made the day unforgettable.

From the moment he started playing, the atmosphere completely transformed. The sax added such a special energy that really elevated the whole celebration. A real highlight was being played into our wedding breakfast to Jubel , which felt so special and set the perfect tone for the rest of the day. The set was perfectly judged and had our guests dancing and smiling all afternoon.

He was professional, friendly, and easy to work with from start to finish, and were happy to tailor the music to suit our vibe. So many of our guests commented on how amazing he was and kept asking where we found him!

If you’re thinking about having a saxophonist at your wedding, we couldn’t recommend Dave more! it was one of the best decisions we made.

We are very thankful to have booked Dave as our saxophonist for our wedding. It was the hottest day of the year and he did so well to play in the heat!

We were very impressed with his extensive play list, plus we were able to request a song which he performed brilliantly! “Where is my husband!”

Thank you so much Dave for helping to make our day so wonderful, we couldn’t recommend you enough!

Dave has been great to work with from booking him through to performing at my wedding! He worked with us in the planning of the day, and understood exactly what we wanted. We threw a mini festival for our reception, and he was great fun performing with our DJ amongst the crowd. Dave was also the opening act of our festival and began the evening performing in the courtyard as our reception guests arrived - this was great fun! He was so flexible throughout the day due to some factors out of our control ( ☀️ )!! I would highly recommend Dave, he was very professional and great fun at our event!

Our saxophonist Dave, was absolutely brilliant and added so much to our day. He had everything set up before we arrived and played our entrance song at the venue perfectly, which made the moment feel really special.
During the reception, he was just the right amount of “wow” in the background, creating a great atmosphere while still letting guests mingle and enjoy themselves. The music elevated the whole vibe without ever taking over.

I booked him very late, but he was incredibly flexible and worked with me to make everything run smoothly. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough and would 100% recommend him to anyone considering live music for their wedding.

I couldn’t recommend Dave more! He was brilliant at our wedding, all our guests loved him. Dave was so friendly and helpful during the whole process. He learned 2 songs for us and absolutely nailed them! We had a last minute change of plan with timings and he made sure we still got our songs as requested. Thank you so much!

Dave helped me plan the perfect surprise during our first dance for my husband Charlie. He was absolutely amazing and I couldn’t recommend Dave enough. Thank you again!

We had the most amazing saxophonist at our wedding on 20 March 2026, Dave was absolutely brilliant and such a standout part of the day. From start to finish, his performance brought incredible energy and created such a fun, lively atmosphere. He really knew how to read the room and get everyone involved, people were up dancing, smiling, and fully enjoying themselves. So many of our guests commented on how amazing he was, which says everything. Dave worked seamlessly alongside the DJ and helped elevate the whole evening. The combination of the music and his live saxophone created such a great vibe on the dance floor, and it honestly made the night unforgettable. He was also friendly, professional, and easy to have around, which made everything run smoothly without any stress. We’re so glad we had Dave as part of our wedding, it was one of the highlights of the day, and we would 100% recommend him to anyone looking to add something special and high-energy to their celebration

Dave is a real talent on the sax, you will not be disappointed with the service and communication you get, flexible with song choice to suit your occasion. Also great value for money!

Top guy and 100% recommend!

Dave played saxophone at our wedding after the ceremony during our appetisers and drinks. He was absolutely fantastic! Dave communicated amazingly prior to the wedding, allowing us to choose songs we wanted from his really varied playlist. He even played a request which was a special song for my grandad and made him very emotional. All of our guests took the time to comment on how brilliant Dave was and how much they enjoyed listening to him play. He brought a wonderful atmosphere to our wedding and we can’t thank him enough.

Wow , what can we say! Our sax player absolutely made the night at our wedding. From the moment he started playing, he had everyone up on their feet ;creating the perfect atmosphere with a mix of wedding classics and Ibiza-style party tunes that kept the energy sky-high all evening.
He brought such an amazing vibe, fun, cool, and full of life and his performance really took our celebration to the next level. So many of our guests have commented on how unforgettable the music was and how much they loved the sax!
Thank you for getting the party started and keeping it going right until the end. You were the soundtrack to some of our favourite memories and truly made the night one to remember.

Outstanding performance by Dave at our wedding party, it was an honour to have such a talented musician play live music for us, every single guest commented on his performance - Amazing, incredible, marvelous and every other positive adjective you can think of! My wife was over the moon, it has been her dream to have live sax at the wedding, genuinely the highlight of the whole evening. Dave worked so well with the DJ (who he had never worked with before) and his communication has been excellent right from the very start. I hope I can find an excuse to book Dave again!

Dave was exactly what I was looking for in the form of amazing talent and someone who could bring the vibes to the wedding day, which he did so with ease.

Dave happily listened to my ideas and went with the flow, even though I changed my mind about 4 times!

He was professional, knew exactly what he needed to do and where he needed to be and I could not fault him in anyway.

100% recommend.

Dave is not only a fabulous Sax player, he is a really lovely person.
I wanted a Sax player to play during our wedding reception drinks, which was a couple of hours. We booked Dave, and I'm so glad we did.
Communication before the event was very good. He responded to all our questions, and checked in with us a couple of times in the run up to the event.
We picked some songs from Dave's extensive repertoire to give him an idea of what we wanted, and asked him to learn a couple of songs for us. He played the songs we asked for, and absolutely nailed the vibe we were going for.
On a busy wedding day, I made sure I had time to spend listening, and having a little dance, to his music. It was a real highlight of the day for us, and I would book again in a heartbeat.

Dave is an outstanding performer who has exceeded our expectations! Since the wedding we have received only the most wonderful feedback of how amazing Dave was and how the music just created the most incredible atmosphere to enhance what was already a truly perfect day!
Would 100% recommend and will no doubt have Dave to play for us again in the near future!

Dave did two sets at our evening wedding party, worked very well with the DJ, got everybody dancing!
Great musician, fun, professional, lovely guy & everyone love him!
Would highly recommend for any event!! ❤️

I have now booked Dave twice, to play with DJ Nigel Grace, and he always puts on an incredible show. The audience always loves him, he will go above and beyond and gets involved interacting with the crowd. I'll 100% be booking him again. He's so talented and knows what the people want!

Dave travelled from Bristol to stoke one evening for my hen party. My maid of honour arranged it all after I gave her Dave’s info as he is going to be playing at our wedding. He even stayed an did an extra set for us as he was so good. The vibe was amazing and he did so many different songs/ genres that suited everybody. Thank you so much and cannot wait to see you perform on the big day in June

Dave was just brilliant, played along with the DJ without requesting any song, the best part was seeing him playing in the middle of the crowd, will definitely book him for another night

I booked Dave for my party. He was super professional went out of his way to accomodate everything I wanted and played superbly. Recommend

I asked Dave to come and perform with my band at a local bar, and he absolutely smashed it. A personal highlight of my evening, and I had many punters and friends comment on how explosive and energetic his performing is.

Dave is an superb player and a very reliable person.

Dave has the best energy of any saxophonist on the Bristol scene. I booked his solo act for a private party recently and the guests could not stop dancing. In fact they wouldn't, so I paid him more to play for longer!

Hired dave for my 25th birthday party. Was very reliable and a great saxophone player. Definitely recommend
