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.

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"

"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."
