Sarah Sax is one of the world’s most in-demand international luxury saxophonists, known for her unmistakable sound, commanding stage presence, and iconic Swarovski-covered saxophone.
With over 20 years at the top of the industry and performances across 40+ countries, Sarah delivers headline-level live sax for luxury weddings, private parties, corporate events, and destination celebrations. Her career includes performances at Formula 1 Grand Prix events, London Fashion Week, major awards shows, elite sporting events, and large-scale festivals in front of tens of thousands of people, alongside private events for royalty, celebrities, and global brands. She has been personally invited by Sir Richard Branson to perform at his private event in Verbier, selected by Laura Whitmore for her birthday, and chosen as a featured performer for Hed Kandi Ibiza worldwide.
Sarah is widely recognised as one of the original female pioneers of the DJ-and-sax format in the UK, helping shape a style that has since become a staple of luxury events. She is also an award-winning performer with an unbroken record of five-star reviews.
Beyond private events, Sarah tours internationally with her one-woman theatre shows, performs on Symphonic Ibiza Orchestra tours, and maintains a global fan following.
While she regularly performs on festival stages and large-scale productions, Sarah has a genuine love for intimate, high-energy private events - which is why she releases a limited number of exclusive dates each year for weddings and private celebrations.
From elegant, atmospheric sax to Ibiza-led party sets alongside your DJ, Sarah creates unforgettable moments and packed dance floors.

I can perform along to ANY genre of songs for Sax alongside DJ performances.
For background self contained sets I have THOUSANDS of songs for all genres. I absolutely love bringing the Ibiza pool side vibe to drinks receptions tho so playing a mixture of pop and house music and reading the crowd is what I specialise in.
Here are a sample of pieces.
Also happy to perform alongside all Garage music, Hiphop, RnB, 70’s, Commerical, Pop, House (all styles)

I come with my own microphone, I just need an XLR or 1/4inch jack Input for my mic on the DJs desk (Sax and DJ)
Self Contained Drinks receptions i require nothing but a smile :)
See above.
Ideally I need to know any directions that will help me find the venue if it isn't marked correctly on google maps.
Also i would like to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue. (This all gets discussed during the booking period with my PA)
For self contained drinks receptions. if a break is needed by myself, yes I am happy to play music from spotify inbetween.
As a performer, I've had incredible moments: Performing at the Albert Hall being the best venue ive performed at! Richard Branson's vibrant Verbier party, electric and unforgettable. Festivals of between 5-20k people ignite an unmatched energy and thrill. Club nights worldwide are incredible. Weddings bring fulfilling, intimate music moments, filling me with immense joy. Each gig, be it grand or intimate, holds unique charm. I'm fortunate to love and perform in diverse venues!
There are so many artists! I love Avicci for always having crowd favourites! Sax players - I love Gerald Albright!! Hes amazing!
I have been gigging for over twenty years. I started when i finished uni and jumped on a cruiseship with a band for a few years. My love of travel then lead me to performing as a soloist with DJ's all over the world. Since then i have my own one woman theatre show that i tour with worldwide and my own agency of female sax players. I think ive probably done in excess of a thousand wedding performances!!! and over a thousand theatre shows! So i have alot of experience!
I love playing at all sorts of events but weddings are my favourite! The guests are always happy and seeing a rooms dynamic change from me coming out on the dance floor (often as a surprise) is just amazing!!!! I still get shivers!
When it comes to making your celebration unforgettable, I bring an energetic and sparkley performance , freestyling over a DJ's set or alongside my own mixes to keep all your guests dancing. What sets my performance apart is the Swarovski Crystal Sax (im the only one!) and the interactive element—I love engaging with the crowd, jumping energetically among your guests (most sax players stand still!), taking song requests at a moments notice (so if Aunty Jan wants Abba last minute i can perform it! (most sax players have a set repertoire they can play) , and ensuring everyone feels the vibe. I create a lively ambiance that sets the tone for an incredible party and ensures your special day is filled with memorable moments.
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)
Self contained: 20 mins set up.
Amp can be used outside (battery powered) or inside (L1 bose PA system)
Please let me know prior to the date.
Yes, but i ask for a cover if its due to rain. Im battery operated so do not need electricity.
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 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.
Ive just had last nights bride message me! I think this sums it up!
" Sarah you are incredible! Thanks so much!! You absolutely sent the dancefloor wild! You are amazing at what you do!! You made our wedding!" Charlotte Pocklington
"Absolutely, I'd love to make your first dance truly special! Picture this: as you both step onto the dance floor for your first dance, imagine the soft, romantic melody of your chosen song filling the air (or it might be an upbeat ibiza banger!) Just when you think it's the familiar tune playing, I'll seamlessly come out (i hide in a cupboard or under the DJ booth!) with my saxophone, adding a live 'wow' factor to the music. This surprise addition aims to make your first dance a moment you and your guests will cherish forever, and it really does get the party started!!!! (First dance surprise is no extra cost!)
I have performed extensively across the world for the past 20 years. 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.
