from£850GBP

Rates for saxophonists in Canterbury run from £120 to £850+, with typical bookings around £330. 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.

Photo of SaxoPhoney Michael SaxoPhoney Michael "We couldn’t recommend Michael highly enough! He was absolutely fantastic and really brought the party to life. His talent, energy and interaction with our guests created such an amazing atmosphere and made the evening even more special. Everyone loved him, and he was the perfect addition to our celebration. Thank you for making our party so memorable – we would highly recommend!" Based in Canterbury, England 10th November 2026 Steve H Photo of jamiesaxophone - weddings, events & more jamiesaxophone - weddings, events & more "Where to start! My daughter’s wedding vision included a saxophonist. Unfortunately as the bookings were made for everything, this was seen as a luxury and got pushed further down the list and then wasn’t going to happen. Fast forward to two weeks before the wedding and I saw a wedding post on facebook and Jamie’s name was mentioned numerous times. The stars aligned and I was exceptionally lucky Jamie was available . The absolute best decision I made! Jamie answered quickly to every message ( I sent many!), was so lovely and was absolutely awesome on the day. The playlist was perfect and Jamie brought such a great vibe. Everyone is still talking about him! Even in videos that we’ve posted people are commenting ‘who is he?’ ‘This is incredible’ My advice put Jamie at the top of your wedding list, or any party list, you won’t regret it! The only thing I do regret is not booking him for longer as it went so fast. Jamie you are incredibly talented and we are so grateful that we got to meet you and dance along with you! You’re calm, very cool, charming and exceptional!!!! You were an absolute highlight of the day, I have watched the videos of you and everyone so many times as it’s just such a natural, happy time that you couldn’t plan. I can’t wait for my next daughter’s wedding you are a definite!!!!" Based in Canterbury, England Amanda Lowe - Suprise Drinks Reception Photo of Paula Borrell Paula Borrell "Paula was superb. Very professional , had an extensive list to choose from and willing to play songs off the list on request. All of our guests really enjoyed the music. Would definitely use again." Based in Southend-on-Sea, England (24 miles from Canterbury) Yogita - Party Photo of Kentishsax Kentishsax "Dirk was fabulous! From the moment we contacted him he couldn’t have been more helpful. It was fairly short notice but lucky for us Dirk was available. The communication was excellent including warning us about traffic problems that could have caused our guests a problem. I really stage know what to expect but Dirk exceeded our expectations and all the guests loved his set. It was a perfect mix of songs and really set the right tone. Thank you so much for making our daughters wedding extra special!"

His music was a great addition to our anniversary party. It’s the second time we have had him at a celebration, and everyone always loves his music. We would recommend him without any hesitation." Based in Canvey Island, England (27 miles from Canterbury) Julie Photo of Karen Louise Sax Karen Louise Sax "Karen was amazing! She was professional from start to finish and went out of her way to make sure that we had all of the music we wanted at our wedding. All of our guests thought she was brilliant! Thank you so much.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring saxophone players typically costs between £120 and £850+, with an average of £330. Rates depend on the player's experience, performance length and the style of music. Saxophone is a versatile instrument that suits jazz, soul, pop and dance music, and many players also offer a sax-and-DJ combination for a fuller sound.

The saxophone players for hire cover a wide range of styles including jazz, soul, pop, funk, classical, R&B, dance music and smooth jazz. The saxophone is one of the most versatile instruments and can suit virtually any genre or event atmosphere.

Hiring saxophone players is popular for weddings, corporate events, cocktail receptions, private parties, DJ sets and restaurant entertainment. A live saxophone adds a sophisticated, soulful element to any event, whether as a solo act or performing alongside a DJ or band.

Many saxophone players specialise in performing live alongside a DJ set, adding an exciting live element to dance music. This combination is hugely popular at weddings, corporate parties and club events. It is a good idea to discuss this format with the saxophone player.

Many saxophone players are able to perform while moving through the event space, serenading guests at tables or during drinks receptions. Some use wireless microphone systems to maintain sound quality while roaming. Gig Heaven recommends confirming roaming options with the performer.

For small, intimate settings, most saxophone players can often perform without amplification. For larger venues, outdoor events or performances alongside a DJ, a PA system or amplifier is usually needed. Most saxophone players bring their own amplification equipment.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
