Live sax,
over the DJ set.

The difference

A DJ fills the floor.
The sax is what they film.

It’s the same party I’d DJ anyway, with live sax played right over the top, and percussion too if you want it. Soft and easy through dinner, then loud over the dance tracks when the floor’s going. All live, all in time with whatever I’m mixing, and it’s the bit people pull their phones out for.

Live sax gets booked up for peak Saturdays early, so check your date is free.

Two halves of the night

Relaxed early on. Loud by the end.

Early on the sax is soft and easy, the sort of thing you’d hear in a good bar. Later it’s up loud over the dance tracks. Same player, very different gear.

Live saxophone during the drinks reception

Earlier on

Drinks and dinner

Live sax playing quietly behind your drinks reception and meal. Relaxed, a bit jazzy, nothing in your face.

Later on

On the dancefloor

Now the sax is loud over the dance tracks, with percussion on top. This is the part people end up filming on their phones.

On the floor

When the sax comes in, the room goes up.

A track everyone knows, and then a live sax over the top of it. That’s the moment people talk about the next day.

Sorting it out

Nothing for you to organise.

You don’t have to organise any of it. I work out the timings with the musicians. You just turn up and enjoy it.

Pick who you want

Sax on its own, or sax and percussion together. Both play alongside me on the decks.

I fit it round your night

The musicians play a few sets across the evening and I keep things going in between. I work out the timings, not you.

Keep it a secret if you like

A lot of couples don’t tell their guests. When the sax suddenly starts up, the reaction is brilliant.

The musicians

The people I bring with me.

I’ve worked with these guys for years. They’re good at what they do, easy to have around, and they dress for the occasion.

Saxophone

Andy Lead

Andy’s the main sax player. He’s played weddings, festivals and clubs for years, and he can go from quiet and smooth to full volume when the floor’s busy.

Percussion

Alex Lead

Alex plays live percussion over the top of the DJ set. Bongos, congas and the like, in time with the tracks. Put him with the sax and the dancefloor really goes for it.

I’ve also got James and a few other musicians I trust, so I can put together anything from one sax player up to a full band. Tell me what you’re after and I’ll put it together.

What you get

What comes with it.

The live music is the main event. Here’s everything else that comes as standard.

  • Live sax and/or percussion over the DJ set
  • The planning app for your songs and timings
  • A meeting in person to go through it all
  • I deal with you and your venue direct
  • Simple digital agreement
  • 40% deposit secures the date
  • £10m public liability insurance
  • All kit PAT-tested each year

How this works

Tell me the vibe. I line up the rest.

The app I use for the DJ side covers the live music too. Tell me the songs you love and the feel you’re after, and I’ll time the sax and percussion to land at the big moments. You give me the vibe, I run the night.

The surprise

Don’t tell them. Let them find out.

Most couples keep the sax quiet until it happens. One minute it’s a DJ set, the next there’s a sax player in the middle of the floor and everyone’s up.

“We hired Dan to DJ our wedding and it was the best decision we made. Dan made so much time for us in preparation for the day with zoom calls, checking timelines and using his app. Quick to respond to emails and give his advice and suggestions on what would work best. We genuinely couldn't have asked for anything more. On the day, Dan's setup looked amazing and he kept the crowd going all night long - I don't think I left the dancefloor at all!!! We had a real mix of music and you absolutely hit the mark. So many comments about how amazing the evening was - even older people saying it was the best evening reception they had been to. Thank you so so much Dan for making the evening such a blast - it really was the best part of the day for us. Love George and Izzy Richards x”

“Dan was absolutely incredible! From our first call, he was super friendly and professional, and really listened to what we wanted from the wedding day. The app Dan uses is a great, and allows you to tailor those key songs for the big day. On our wedding day, Dan went the extra mile and started the night with a DJ set outside for our cocktail hour, nailing the summer vibe perfectly! Going into the evening, he had everyone dancing all night long and managed to mix in genres for everyone’s taste. We would highly recommend Dan and would give him 10 stars if we could!! ⭐️”

“Luckily came across Dan by chance on instagram, when I looked through his videos I knew he was exactly what we were looking for. Dan has an app for you to let him now if there’s any special song requests before the day and any songs not to play which I thought was brilliant. Dan also sorted our dance floor and confetti canyons which were an amazing addition to the night . Dan thank you so much! Everyone was up dancing all night . Would definitely recommend.”

“Dan did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding! We don't have a typical music taste (and one I can imagine is hard to DJ for!!!) but we could not have asked for a better experience - everyone commented on how good the DJ and the playlist was. From the initial call where Dan got to know us and our music taste, to populating some song suggestions on his easy to use app, to delivering a great set - every step was excellent - we couldn't recommend him more!!! As well as the music, the whole set up he brings is excellent and perfectly matched our expectations”

“WHAT AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE! Dan DJ’d our wedding just before Christmas and what an evening it was! We had a couple of meetings with Dan on the lead up to our wedding about our music tastes and what type of music we wanted to be played throughout the night. Dan filled us with confidence and we were so excited to have him Dj. He has an app that you can add in your must plays and the music you’d not like to be played. Dan’s got one clear objective and that’s to keep people on the dance floor! He made our night so incredibly fun and we stayed on that dance floor until the very end! We also opted to use his Photo Booth and the photos were so fun to look through! We’ve already recommended to family who are getting married and we can’t wait to get one day get back on the dance floor with Dan behind the decks again. Thank you so so much for making our night so fun and absolutely unforgettable!”
