Sarah Sax – International Luxury Saxophonist
Sarah Sax is a globally recognised luxury saxophonist, known for her iconic Swarovski-covered saxophone and commanding, high-energy live performances.
She performs at large-scale international festivals, high-end weddings around the world, and aboard prestigious super yachts and luxury cruise liners, and is a trusted choice for celebrity, Royalty and VIP events - including performances for Alan Carr, Graham Norton, Laura Whitmore, and Sir Richard Branson.
Sarah has performed alongside leading garage DJs, Wigfield, and Howard Donald (Take That), and regularly appears with the Ibiza Orchestra, blending live sax with full-scale orchestral productions.
Widely regarded as one of the original female pioneers of the DJ-and-sax format in the UK, live sax alongside a DJ is second nature to her. It’s instinctive. It’s where she made her name. Today, she remains a benchmark within the luxury events scene.
Available for festivals, corporate events, weddings, birthdays and private parties worldwide.

If I’m performing alongside your DJ, I just need one XLR input for my wireless mic — standard for all professional DJs.
I confirm all details with you and your DJ in advance so everything runs smoothly on the day.
Depending on the package booked I can be completely self contained and bring my
Own PA system (Usually for Background drinks receptions)
Just the venue address is perfect - I don’t require catering or refreshments, I bring everything I need. No diva requests here!
Happy to discuss at time of booking
I’ve performed at major international events and festivals in front of thousands - that kind of energy is incredible.
But honestly, I love bringing that same big-stage vibe to weddings and private parties. When the dance floor’s full and the room lifts, that’s the magic - whether it’s thousands of people or an intimate crowd.
I’m heavily influenced by house and garage culture -that Ibiza energy where the music builds and completely lifts a crowd. I also love classic ’90s dance anthems the kind of tracks that instantly fill a floor and bring pure nostalgia.
I’m drawn to artists who create that hands-in-the-air, euphoric moment - timeless house, UK garage, Ibiza pop and big feel-good records.
As for the greatest song of all time… for me it’s any anthem that makes a whole room sing, move and lose themselves. That’s when music is at its best.
I’ve been performing for over 20 years now. I started out playing at local events and private functions, and it naturally grew from there as more opportunities came in.
Over time, that led to bigger stages, international bookings, and a mix of festivals, luxury events and private parties. I’ve always just focused on putting everything into every performance and the work has grown from that.
Any!!! I especially love being a surprise. There’s nothing like that split second when people realise what’s happening - you can feel it in the room. I still get a little shiver every time. That reaction never gets old.
Sax and DJ set up time required: 15 mins. (I allow an extra 30/45mins for traffic etc anyway so I can get there in plenty of time and have a sip from my flask of tea :P)
(I bring my leads and plug straight into the DJ mixing desk)
Yes
Yes the clients 100% can have there say! Even on the night if they have a specific song i will freestyle over the top with no prior practice required! I do have set list suggestions and mixed that get sent out to the client prior to my performance and playlists if they wish for me to use. I also have pre-recorded 3 x 20min mixes if requested to be played.
They usually describe my performances as high-energy, electric and unforgettable.
A lot of clients say the same thing -the moment I start playing, the atmosphere shifts. The dance floor fills, the energy lifts, and it stops feeling like just another event.
They often mention how immersive it feels too that I’m not stuck on a stage, I’m in the crowd, moving with them, building the moment. It’s that mix of big-stage presence with personal connection that people remember.
To secure your date, a contract is signed and a deposit is paid. This protects both parties and guarantees your booking in my diary. Once confirmed, your event is locked in and fully prioritised.
Yes. I have a dedicated PA who manages all contracts, paperwork, logistics and coordination. You’ll always have a clear point of contact throughout the process, ensuring everything is organised, professional and stress-free.
Very much so. I regularly perform at high-profile and celebrity events where discretion and security are essential. I’m comfortable working alongside additional security, production teams and private staff to ensure everything runs smoothly and professionally.
Yes -live sax alongside a DJ is second nature to me. I liaise directly with your DJ and production team in advance to make sure everything runs seamlessly. I’m used to working on everything from intimate parties to large-scale productions.
Yes - I can perform throughout different parts of your day, from drinks reception sets to high-energy evening party performances. Everything is tailored to suit your atmosphere and timeline.
Absolutely - I love a surprise moment. Whether it’s a surprise entrance into your wedding breakfast, joining your first dance unexpectedly, or appearing during the evening party, those reactions are always unforgettable.
For birthdays, I can make a surprise entrance for a special “Happy Birthday” moment that completely lifts the room.
Yes. I can perform live alongside your chosen first dance track, adding that extra emotional, cinematic feel or even build it into a high-energy transition straight into the party.
Yes - from intimate private dinners to full-scale party nights. Whether it’s a 30th, 40th, 50th or beyond, I bring the same festival-level energy and interaction to make it feel like a proper event.

Touring includes Australia, The Maldives, India, Malaysia, Iceland, France, Germany, Cyprus, Egypt, Portugal, Spain, Thailand, Brazil, Bahrain, Singapore, Macau, China, Dubai, South and North America, Greece, Sweden, Switzerland, Israel, Norway, Ireland, Italy, and across the UK.
