Rates for saxophonists in Durham run from £130 to £850+, with typical bookings around £350. 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.

Reviews of Saxophone Players available in Durham

5/5 from 2,550 reviews
Photo of Laura Sutherland Saxophonist Laura Sutherland Saxophonist "I found Laura through a local music agency when I was considering the possibility of providing l music to our guests before our marriage ceremony and in the pre wedding breakfast period as a surprise for my husband. I was charmed be her manner when we first spoke. She instantly understood the mood I wanted to convey. She has an extensive repertoire and was able to provide music that absolutely fitted my ideas. I was a little concerned that it might be difficult for her to be heard outside but her amplification system was perfect for both indoor and outdoor performance. I would love an excuse to hire Laura again- we enjoyed her playing so much and our guests were so complimentary about her music. It was just perfect. I mean every word! We wish you so much success in your career. Di Culshaw and Adrian Wilkinson" Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England (14 miles from Durham) Di Culshaw - Wedding Photo of SaxLife SaxLife "OMG you made the wedding night, you're amazing and everybody its still talking about how good you were. Thank you." Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England (14 miles from Durham) Kyle Spratt - Wedding at Woodhill Farm 31/08/2024 Photo of Jan Holena Sax Jan Holena Sax "I cannot recommend Jan enough, from start to finish. He communicated on a regular basis about the genre of music and collaborated with my DJ to prepare for the evening. Jan really got the party going , he created a brilliant atmosphere on the dance floor which got everyone up dancing. Finally not only is he professional in his approach but he is an amazing saxophonist, I would highly recommend to anyone for their party." Based in Darwen, England (83 miles from Durham) 19th January 2026 Rachel Price - birthday party 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 (87 miles from Durham) 6th October 2026 Eric - Wedding Photo of Dan Gribbin Music Dan Gribbin Music "Dan was amazing from start to finish, We asked Dan the special request of playing our First Dance for us and he literally made me cry at the start of the Dance, I sent him the song we wanted and he played it exactly like we wanted, All of our Guests were blown away with Dan and he filled the dancefloor everytime he came on. Thankyou again Dan for such an amazing night, you definitely made the night for us" Based in Manchester, England (93 miles from Durham) Becky Grainger - Wedding Photo of Alastair Grant - saxophonist Alastair Grant - saxophonist "Alastair made our day absolutely perfect, from the greeting line at the reception to the Ibiza Style play at our dance part and 1st dance song. Absolutely marvellous! We received many compliments from our guests. Book him and you won't regret." Based in Manchester, England (93 miles from Durham) Marisa&Stefan - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Hiring saxophone players typically costs between £130 and £850+, with an average of £350. 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.
