Wedding Singers in ChicagoRates for saxophonists in Chicago run from $160 to $1,250+, with typical bookings around $470. 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.

Ralph Russell Saxophone
"Ralph was wonderful!
Ralph was amazing! He adapted so well to the mood of our party. He was able to play Christmas song lyrics on the screen so we could sing along at our Christmas party. He made the night a hit! He even stayed longer than planned because everyone was having such a nice time. Highly recommend him!"
Edgar Johnson Saxophonist
"Edgar arrived at the venue early to set up. Edgar was dressed professional and performed the Saxophone at a professional level that was beyond OUTSTANDING! Edgar is operating in his gift! You will not be disappointed if you book Mr. Edgar Johnson."
RTZ Music Studio
"Robert is AMAZING! We asked Robert to play the sax during our cocktail hour for our wedding and he absolutely knocked it out of the park. He worked with us throughout the wedding planning process to curate the most perfect playlist, and he even took the time to learn new songs just for our wedding! His energy was infectious, his music uplifted everyone around him, and he totally lit up the entire room! All of our guests were dancing around him (and he was on pretty much everyone's instagram stories the next day LOL)! All of these qualities make him such an amazing teacher, and anyone would be lucky to work with him. Robert - thank you so so so much for making our day so special! We cannot thank you enough!"
Sam Keily
"Blown away! Sam was able to recreate my dream from two tik toks I sent him. He played Star Wars for all of our groomsmen and Abba for all of our bridal party!! Everyone complimented the music and Sam seriously listened to all of our requests and was amazing. I would absolutely book him again!"
