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

$Low price
from$180USD
$$Average price
from$460USD
$$$High price
from$1,150USD

Rates for saxophonists in Riverside run from $180 to $1,150+, with typical bookings around $460. 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.

Photo of Saxyfone Saxyfone "Filiberto was incredible! Super responsive, showed up early, played his heart out, accommodating, friendly, and sooo much fun. He made our wedding so special and all of our guests loved his performance. Highly highly recommend booking Filiberto." Based in Perris, California (15 miles from Riverside) Asher Gardner - Wedding Photo of Saxophone ONE Saxophone ONE "If you’re looking for an amazing sax player, you found him!! We wanted a sax player for my mother’s 70th birthday and I am so glad we found Dan! He was very professional, easy to communicate with, and very reasonably priced. Dan kicked up the party to another level and played a wide array of music. My mother absolutely loved it as did all our guests. Thanks again Dan!" Based in Orange, California (29 miles from Riverside) Andrea C. - Anniversary Party Photo of Doug Earley Saxophonist Doug Earley Saxophonist "He was playing at the local farmers market. Really nice." Based in Covina, California (30 miles from Riverside) Scott - Farmers market- South Irvine Photo of Dave Thomasson Music Dave Thomasson Music "Dave was so gooood! He make that sax sing AND talk. My wife had a request, and Dave knocked it out the park, just like he was the original artist, even BETTER. We had about 150 people and Dave had everyone tuned into his music. Professional, courteous, friendly, and very easy going. He mingled well the guests. I am absolutely going to book him again and again. He made our July 4th celebration, the talk of Ontario. Thank you so much Dave, you are truly humble and you minister to people through your music. God bless you." Based in Covina, California (30 miles from Riverside) Harris B Photo of Seps' Saxophone Experience Seps' Saxophone Experience "Seps is the best!!! My husband and I got married last week at Falkner Winery in Temecula and Seps was the absolute star of the show! All of my guests have been raving about how good he was and made the night so unique and unforgettable. He was incredibly easy to work with throughout the wedding planning process, and I did not personally have to handle any of the coordination or communication with our venues DJ. Seps and him met multiple times prior to the big day to make sure the grand entrance, dinner, and reception were seamless. My husband and I are big DJ people, but we knew that having a live instrument to pair with the music would make the experience more interactive and fun. Seps absolutely brought that and everyone was on their feet the entire night thanks to him! He’s incredibly professional, easy to communicate with, and friendly with other wedding guests. Do yourself a favor, and book with Seps! The price for the value he adds is an incredible deal and you won’t regret working with him. He will elevate your event and be the highlight of the night!" Based in Laguna Beach, California (36 miles from Riverside) Renee D. - Wedding Reception Photo of Tyler Varnell | Saxophone-DJ Tyler Varnell | Saxophone-DJ "WOW. Tyler Varnell is a superstar! I'm not exaggerating when I say every single guest approached us during the wedding to tell us how incredible Tyler was. He is engaging, fun, talented and knows how to get the party started and keep it going. His song book covers all genres, and he played a variety of music that appealed to all guests, regardless of age (my girlfriends went INSANE when he played "Mr. Brightside" -- he can do it all!). If you are looking for entertainment to truly "wow" your guests, hire Tyler. You won't be disappointed!!"

Frequently asked questions

Hiring saxophone players typically costs between $180 and $1,150+, with an average of $460. 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.
