A guide to booking

Hire Sax & DJ / Live Musician & DJ

A DJ with live saxophone brings something a solo DJ or traditional band cannot replicate on its own. The saxophonist improvises over the DJ's mix, adding live melody and spontaneity to familiar tracks. Most performers use wireless instruments, allowing them to leave the stage and play among guests on the dancefloor. This roaming style creates an interactive, high-energy atmosphere that works particularly well during evening receptions and late-night dancing. For live saxophone without a DJ set, saxophone players work alongside a band or backing tracks instead.

What to Expect from a Sax and DJ Duo

The standard format is a DJ playing throughout the evening with the sax player joining for two or three sets of around 30 minutes each. Between sax sets, the DJ continues solo to keep the energy going. Genre-wise, these acts typically cover house, disco, funk, soul, Motown and Ibiza-style club classics, though many can adapt to pop, R&B, hip hop and chart hits on request. Where the whole set is built on that Balearic sound, Ibiza entertainment is the closer fit. Some performers expand beyond a duo by adding percussionists or vocalists, while others are solo artists who both DJ and play saxophone themselves. If you want a full live band feel at a smaller scale, a sax and DJ act is often a strong alternative to booking a larger party band or cover band.

Events and Occasions

Wedding receptions are the most popular booking for DJ saxophonist acts. During cocktail hours and wedding breakfasts, a sax player can perform relaxed jazz and lounge sets alongside the DJ's ambient playlists. Later in the evening, they switch to high-energy dancefloor sets. Corporate events, product launches and milestone birthday parties also benefit from the format. For weddings specifically, many couples choose a sax and DJ duo alongside separate wedding ceremony musicians for earlier in the day, or pair them with a wedding DJ package that covers the full celebration from afternoon to late night.

Sax and DJ Pricing

Rates for a professional saxophone and DJ act typically range from $150 to $1,250+, with an average price of $450. The cost depends on the number of performers (solo DJ-saxophonist vs a duo), the length of the booking, equipment provided and travel distance. Most acts include their own PA system and lighting as standard. Acts offering additional musicians such as bongo players or vocalists will sit at the higher end. Longer bookings covering both daytime and evening entertainment often come at a better per-hour rate than a single evening set.

Photo of DJ Juanito (Lisbon & Portugal) DJ Juanito (Lisbon & Portugal) "Juanito is a truly passionate and professional DJ, with an incredible ability to read the energy of the room and create the perfect atmosphere. He did an amazing job: Attentive, professional, and genuinely committed to making the event special, while took us on a beautiful journey through different rhythms and emotions. His passion, professionalism, and sensitivity to the atmosphere really made a difference and helped make our event truly unforgettable. I highly recommend Juanito to anyone looking for a DJ who does more than just play music — he creates an experience!" Based in Lisbon, Lisbon District, Portugal 9th August 2026 Maria Salgado Photo of Sax&Piano Wedding Music Sax&Piano Wedding Music "Simply extraordinary. We chose Sax & Piano for our wedding and we couldn’t have wished for anything better. From the very first contact they were professional, kind, and incredibly attentive to our requests. On the wedding day they created a magical atmosphere: the sound of the sax, combined with the elegance of the piano, accompanied every moment with emotion and refinement. Our guests were enchanted, and many of them asked us for their details. They perfectly captured the mood of the day, moving from romantic and delicate pieces to more lively moments during the aperitif. Outstanding musical quality and constant emotion. We are truly happy we chose them — they made our day even more special. We recommend them wholeheartedly." Based in Florence, Tuscany, Italy 19th August 2026 Anna e Christopher - Private Wedding Photo of Electric Sky Violin Electric Sky Violin "A Truly Exceptional Performer I had the pleasure of having Adrain perform at my New Year’s Eve party, and he was absolutely stunning! Adrain is an incredibly talented violinist, but what impressed me just as much as his talent was the passion, professionalism, and genuine care he brought to the entire event. Adrain took the time to make sure he had a wide variety of music that would fit every part of the evening—from beautiful, sweet, slow waltzes while everyone was relaxing, eating, and enjoying conversation, to faster, energetic music with cultural meaning and significance that brought back so many familiar feelings and memories. When people got up and started dancing, he transitioned into that energy so naturally and smoothly. Honestly, every time Adrain got on stage, I wanted to get up and dance! One thing that really stood out to me was how incredibly prepared he was. He doesn't have to depend on the venue or someone else to provide the equipment necessary for his performance because he literally has everything he needs himself, his own speakers, sound equipment, microphones, and everything required to put on a professional performance. He even brings extra equipment and supplies in case something unexpected comes up. His setup was clean, organized, and aesthetically pleasing, and he worked incredibly hard to make sure everything was ready and looked great. As someone hosting an event, that kind of preparation gives you so much peace of mind. Adrain was also exceptionally easy to work with from beginning to end. He is incredibly modest, too. I complimented him so many times throughout the evening, and he would always say that he wished he were better—which I have to respectfully disagree with! 😂 He is truly an exceptional performer! One of the things that impressed me most, though, was seeing how willing Adrain was to help the other performers. Once he had his own setup taken care of, he immediately stepped in whenever someone else needed help, doing whatever he could to make sure they had what they needed to give their own memorable performances. He didn't have to do that, and there was nothing in it for him other than simply being a genuinely wonderful and supportive person. That really says a lot about the kind of person he is. The New Year’s Eve party was such a memorable experience, and Adrain’s performance was a huge part of what made the evening so special. I have also seen videos of him performing at weddings and have heard a few stories about his beautiful private performances for couples, including Valentine’s Day celebrations and even a marriage proposal on the beach. It is very easy to see why people choose Adrain for such meaningful occasions. I would absolutely recommend Adrain to anyone looking for an exceptional entertainer and musician. If you're looking for someone who is talented, passionate, professional, prepared, self-sufficient, personable, and genuinely cares about creating a memorable experience, you really can't go wrong with him. Adrain doesn't just play the violin—he makes the music become part of the occasion. ❤️🎻" Based in Palm Springs, California, United States 25th August 2026 Emily Photo of DJ Tom Grimes DJ Tom Grimes "Tom played an amazing wedding set for us from start to finish! He tailored the music perfectly to our style and taste, and worked the music well for each stage of the wedding. We talked a lot beforehand and he included all of our requests, and through us talking he got a good sense of our music style and made sure he included it in our special day. Tom is a friendly, talented and open person. We are so happy he was able to play on our wedding day and create a brilliant atmosphere amongst our guests!" Based in Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Spain 17th September 2026 Sonny & Amber Fodera - Ibiza Wedding Photo of Elsa Violinist Elsa Violinist "It was a fantastic event with fantastic people, so smart and kind, the Dj Stephen Marsch very professional and prepared! And the venue so elegant and refined !" Based in Milan, Lombardy, Italy 18th September 2026 Elsa Martignoni - Wedding in Vevey Photo of Cecil Jones CJ Cecil Jones CJ "We honestly couldn’t recommend Cecil enough! He was absolutely brilliant and made our wedding day even more special. The saxophone brought such an amazing atmosphere and energy to the day, and our guests loved it. Cecil was professional, friendly and incredibly talented, and the music was perfect for the occasion. We’ve had so many compliments from our guests about how good he was. Thank you so much, Cecil, for helping make our wedding day so memorable. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a saxophonist for their special occasion! 🎷🙌🏾" Based in Hull, England, United Kingdom 6th October 2026 Eric - Wedding
