How much does it cost to hire Saxophone Players in Ottawa?

$Low price

$$Average price

from$650CAD

$$$High price

from$1,700CAD

Rates for saxophonists in Ottawa run from $230 to $1,700+, 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. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

JDanevics "JDanevics is great talented saxophonist with big experience in music industry I like his powerful saxophone solo performances and also music choice what he performs from pop jazz to soulful house music this is something amazing to hear and enjoy." Based in Ottawa, Ontario 3rd November 2025 John - Private event organizer

SaxoDance "SaxoDance Was the Life of Our Cocktail Hour We are so pleased with our decision to hire Stephan to perform for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He is very professional and helped us craft our processional walk. He learned the songs that we wanted to mark each moment, and let us curate his broad repertoire to our liking. He is a very talented player and provided great entertainment for our cocktail hour, even playing past our designated time as our dinner got delayed. Our fiends and family enjoyed socializing with him and his wife/assistant Suzanne. They both really helped make our day so magical, and created many great photo moments. I can’t recommend SaxoDance enough :)" Based in Gatineau, Quebec (5 miles from Ottawa) 25th September 2026 Larissa C. - Wedding

J-Sax "We were fortunate to have Jorg perform at our wedding, and he truly exceeded all our expectations. From the moment he began his power set at the entrance, it was clear we were in for a treat. His performance was nothing short of spectacular, setting the perfect tone for our special day. During dinner, he transitioned to a jazz set that added a sophisticated and enchanting ambiance to the evening. His talent on the saxophone is undeniable, captivating our guests and making the night even more memorable. Jorg was incredibly professional, courteous, and sweet. He worked with us to ensure everything was perfect and tailored to our preferences. We couldn't have asked for a better musician to enhance our celebration. If you're looking for a talented saxophonist who can bring both energy and elegance to your event, we highly recommend Jorg!!"
