Browse 571 saxophonists in Canada, rated 5 out of 5 from 2096 reviews from real clients. Solo sax players, jazz duos and larger ensembles are available for weddings, parties and corporate events, with most bookings coming in around $650 and shorter ceremony sets costing less.
Availability moves fastest at the top of the calendar: peak-season Saturdays and the December party run get taken first, and a saxophonist covering both a ceremony and an evening set will usually hold the whole date rather than half of it. For a date that is already close, it is worth enquiring with more than one act at a time.

Wedding Singers in CanadaA saxophone is one of the easiest live acts to fit into a venue. One musician needs little more than a couple of square metres and a power socket, which makes a sax player workable in rooms that could never take a full band, and in venues with tight load-in access or no stage at all.
Ask the venue two things before confirming: where the nearest socket is, and whether there is a sound limiter. A sax player who brings their own PA still has to plug it in somewhere, and a limiter set low will cut a saxophone before it cuts recorded music, because the instrument is loud at close range and peaks sharply. Outdoors, heat and cold both pull the instrument out of tune, and direct sun on a metal body is genuinely uncomfortable to play, so shade and a dry surface matter more than a stage does. Drinks receptions on a lawn or terrace work well as long as the act has somewhere to stand that will not sink or soak.
Most saxophonists work from a backing track library rather than sheet music, so a request has to exist as a track before it can be played. Three to four weeks is a reasonable lead time for something learned specially, and a first dance or processional is worth confirming earlier still. Send a running order rather than a start time: an act that knows when speeches finish and when the dance floor opens will place its sets around them, instead of playing through the moments people are meant to be listening to.
Rates for saxophonists in Canada run from $240 to $1,650+, with typical bookings around $650. Check what the figure covers before comparing quotes: PA and setup are usually included, travel may or may not be, and an overtime rate for running past the agreed finish is worth agreeing in writing rather than on the night. Most acts take a deposit to hold the date, with the balance due close to the event, and short notice tends to cost more rather than less, since a free Saturday in peak season is a date someone else has already turned down.
The average price for Saxophone Players available in Canada is $650 (CAD). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

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."

Sabor Latino Band
"We had Sabor Latino perform at my parents’ retirement party, and they EASILY made it one of the best parties of the year!
Being Latino ourselves, I was honestly nervous because the expectations were HIGH… my family loves to dance, and we love all the classic Latin music. But Sabor Latino completely exceeded our expectations! They kept the energy incredible all night, and so many guests told us how amazing they were as they were leaving.
The singer was incredible, and the whole band truly captured the Latin culture, energy, and love of making sure everyone was dancing and having a great time. They also worked seamlessly with our DJ, and communication with Hernan was fantastic from start to finish.
They truly made the night unforgettable, and we couldn’t recommend them enough! ❤️
Thank you Sabor Latino"
