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

£Low price
from£130GBP
££Average price
from£340GBP
£££High price
from£850GBP

Rates for saxophonists in Reading run from £130 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.

Based in Reading, England 17th August 2026 Caroline - Private event Photo of Tom Neill (Solo/Duo/Bands) Tom Neill (Solo/Duo/Bands) "Tom is a highly talented musician as well as being very professional when communicating and engaging with clients. We recently asked Tom to perform at an event in Cookham. The band were excellent, the client was delighted - wouldn't hesitate in recommending." Based in Windsor, England (16 miles from Reading) Jumping Giraffe Events - Events Management Photo of The Cheers The Cheers "We booked the Cheers Band for our wedding in Bentley on 12 September 2026, and we honestly couldn’t have made a better choice. The communication throughout was absolutely spot on. We had the saxophone and acoustic guitar playing during our drinks reception, and everyone was so impressed — it created such a lovely atmosphere. Later in the evening, the band performed as a six-piece, and they certainly got everyone up on the dancefloor! The energy was fantastic, and they really helped make our wedding evening so memorable. We can’t thank Ben and the whole band enough for everything. They were brilliant from start to finish, and we would highly recommend the Cheers Band to anyone looking for an amazing wedding/function band!

His performance created the perfect atmosphere and set the tone for a wonderful celebration. The music was elegant, relaxed, and beautifully played, with everyone commenting on how much they enjoyed it. Julian was professional, friendly, and a pleasure to have at the event. His talent really added something special to the day, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic saxophonist for their event."

Frequently asked questions

Hiring saxophone players typically costs between £130 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.
