Wedding saxophonist packageWhat's included

One saxophonist, the whole day. Ian plays you down the aisle, carries the certificate signing, keeps cocktail hour warm and then takes the reception from the first course to the dance floor.

With a wireless mic he moves among your guests instead of hiding behind a stage, and he will learn the songs that mean something to you.

  1. Aisle entrance

    Live sax as the bridal party and the bride walk down the aisle, played to the song you choose.

  2. Certificate signing

    Soft, warm music while you sign the register, so the quiet moments still feel like a celebration.

  3. Cocktail hour

    Ian roams among your guests with a wireless mic during cocktails and photos, playing up close instead of from a corner.

  4. Reception

    From your entrance as a married couple to the dance floor, with Afro, soul, R&B, rhumba, gospel and your requests.

KSh 30,000, full package, aisle through reception
