from£850GBP

Rates for saxophonists in Derby run from £120 to £850+, with typical bookings around £340. 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.

He just hopped straight on to any songs we liked and made our night fantastic. Would definitely hire again. THANK YOU!!!!" Based in Nottingham, England (14 miles from Derby) Alysha Rushton - Party Photo of Drew Stansall ex The Specials Drew Stansall ex The Specials "Drew played at our wedding on 6/9/26 and it was absolutely amazing. We gave him a few songs we wanted and left the rest upto him, he built the atmosphere with each sing and led us perfectly into our reception. Didn’t want his set to end. Can not recommend highly enough. Really nice guy and a true professional performer 👌🏼👌🏼" Based in Leicester, England (24 miles from Derby) 8th September 2026 Nick & Vicki Moy - Wedding Photo of m-SAX m-SAX "Mark was absolutely brilliant would definitely recommend! ♥️" Based in Sheffield, England (32 miles from Derby) 12th October 2026 Jennifer C Photo of Evie Ingles Evie Ingles "I booked Evie as a wedding surprise for my husband and family, and she was spectacular! She even travelled all the way to Buxton for our special day. Nobody else knew I had booked her, as she worked closely and secretly with just me ahead of time to plan the perfect surprise. Together, we custom-curated a setlist of songs that are incredibly close to our hearts. This required her to learn music she had never even heard of before, including a beautiful version of our first dance and the song from my in-laws' own wedding first dance. This made the performance deeply personal to us. Her performance, combining gorgeous singing with solo sax segments, was a massive hit and got everyone dancing. We received so many compliments from our guests, and she helped create a truly special memory for our family. We all loved her!" Based in Birmingham, England (35 miles from Derby) 27th September 2026 Ayesha K - Private wedding

Frequently asked questions

Hiring saxophone players typically costs between £120 and £850+, with an average of £340. 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.
