Leanne Sax
"We had Leanne at our wedding last year and she was fantastic- had the Dancefloor filled the whole evening and her energy and crowd intereation was great! "
28th January 2026
Linda McNeill - Wedding
JB Sax
"Fantastic sax player at the BMW event! Upbeat, engaging, and added the perfect atmosphere—everyone loved it."
3rd February 2026
Georgina Hepworth - BMW event
H&D Acoustics
"The music was absolutely spot on, so many bangers and H&R nailed the vibe 🙌🏻 we had an absolute blast on the dance floor and everyone said how brilliant the music was. Huw also DJ'd later in the evening, bringing along a great lighting set and kindly staying later (everyone was loving it and dancing) which we really, really appreciated. We weren't sure about a first dance and Huw read the room so well. Just 10/10 all round!"

The Medley Doctors
"All I can say is WOW. The Medley Doctors were truly the best wedding band we could have ever dreamed of. If you are even considering hiring this dynamic duo, your search is over you have found exactly what you need. We had thm play at our wedding in France in June and from every aspect - ceremony, cocktail reception and party after they were truly engaging, fun, talented and professionals. From the moment we booked them, they made all logistics, communications, equipment needs etc. as easy as could be. Then on the wedding day they did such an amazing job playing a wide variety of music, not just playing at the guests but really engaging with and sharing the energy. We had so many people tell us how it was the most fun entertainment they have ever seen at a wedding. We could not recommend them more!!!"
22nd February 2026
Robert Gorecki - Wedding
Saxophonist Thomas
"We hired Tom for our wedding which was last Saturday and wow, he delivered! From the moment he stepped foot on the dance floor he didn’t stop. Our guests were up jumping, singing, dancing and laughing for the full performance and a week later, they are all still talking about it. One guest said “that was the best party wedding I’ve ever been to”. I genuinely don’t think our wedding would’ve been nearly as epic if it wasn’t for Tom and his insane energy. It took the atmosphere from a 10 to a 15/10! Wish we could do it all again."

Frequently asked questions

Booking saxophonists in Edinburgh, Midlothian as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.
The cost of hiring musicians in Edinburgh, Midlothian can vary significantly depending on the type of act. The average price is currently £526. Budget-level acts may be available for as low as £100, while top-tier acts can command prices as high as £4047.
Most saxophonists are self-contained and bring everything they need, including a small PA system, wireless microphone and backing track setup. Some also bring their own lighting. This means they can set up and perform without relying on venue equipment, which makes them a flexible option for a wide range of spaces. If your event is in a particularly large venue or you have more than 200 guests, it is worth checking with the saxophonist whether their PA is powerful enough or whether additional sound support is needed. For events where the saxophonist will be performing alongside a DJ, they will usually plug into the DJ's system rather than using their own.
Saxophonists are among the most versatile musicians you can hire. The same instrument can cover smooth jazz standards for a drinks reception, upbeat pop and Motown covers for a wedding breakfast, and high-energy Ibiza-style house music for an evening party. Many saxophonists offer more than one style within a single booking, adjusting the energy and genre to suit different parts of the day. When browsing, check the performer's profile and listen to their audio samples to get a sense of their range. Some specialise in a particular genre while others cover several.
A saxophonist can cover several parts of a wedding day, which makes them a popular choice for couples who want live music without booking multiple acts. Common options include background music during the ceremony, roaming performance during the drinks reception, ambient sets during the wedding breakfast, and high-energy dancefloor sets in the evening. Not every saxophonist offers all of these, so check when enquiring. If you want them to cover multiple parts of the day, the total performance time will be longer and the price will usually reflect this. Some saxophonists also offer a DJ service between their live sets, which can reduce the need for a separate DJ.
A solo saxophonist needs very little space compared to a band. A clear area of roughly 1.5m x 1.5m is enough for a stationary performance with a small PA and backing track setup. Many saxophonists also use wireless microphones, which allows them to move around the room and interact with guests rather than performing from a fixed spot. If the saxophonist is performing alongside a DJ, they will usually share the DJ's setup area. For outdoor performances, a flat, dry surface and access to a power supply are the main requirements.
Most professional saxophonists are happy to learn a specific song if given enough notice, though there may be an additional charge depending on the complexity of the arrangement. This is a popular option for first dances, ceremony entrance music or other key moments. Let the saxophonist know your request as early as possible, ideally at the time of booking. Some songs work better on saxophone than others, and an experienced player will be honest about whether a particular track will sound good on the instrument.
Saxophonists are booked for a wide range of events beyond weddings. Corporate functions, drinks receptions, product launches, birthday parties, charity galas, Christmas parties and private dinners are all common. The instrument works well in both intimate settings and larger spaces, and a solo saxophonist can adapt their energy and volume to suit the occasion. For corporate events, a saxophonist during a drinks reception or dinner is a popular choice as it provides a focal point without dominating conversation. For parties, an Ibiza-style sax set or a sax and DJ combination tends to work well for getting guests onto the dancefloor.
Many saxophonists are experienced at performing alongside a DJ or as an addition to a band. When playing with a DJ, the saxophonist typically improvises live over the DJ's tracks using a wireless microphone, which creates a more dynamic sound than either act alone. This format has become very popular for evening wedding receptions and corporate events. Adding a saxophonist to an existing band booking is also possible, though it requires some coordination. The saxophonist and the band will ideally discuss the setlist in advance, and they may need a short rehearsal or soundcheck together on the day. Check with both parties early to make sure they are happy with the arrangement.
A Sax and DJ act combines a live saxophonist with a professional DJ, either as a duo or as a single performer who handles both roles. The DJ plays and mixes tracks while the saxophonist improvises live melodies over the top, creating a sound that is more exciting and dynamic than a standard DJ set. The format has become one of the most popular choices for wedding evening receptions and corporate events. Some acts also incorporate other live elements such as bongos, percussion or vocals alongside the sax and DJ setup. When browsing, check each act's profile to see exactly what is included in their standard package and what can be added as an upgrade.
Edinburgh has a strong live music scene and there are plenty of saxophonists available for events in the city. If your event falls during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August, book well in advance as availability becomes tighter and accommodation costs for travelling performers increase significantly during this period. For venues in Edinburgh's Old Town, access can be tight on narrow cobbled streets, and parking is often limited. Let the saxophonist know the exact venue location and any access restrictions. The advantage of booking a saxophonist over a larger act is that they travel light, which makes navigating the more challenging Edinburgh venues much easier.
A saxophonist can perform outdoors in the right conditions. The saxophone itself is reasonably robust and can handle outdoor temperatures better than most string or keyboard instruments. However, if the saxophonist is using a PA system, amplifier, or backing track device, these need to be protected from rain and moisture. A solid canopy or cover over the equipment is essential. Wind can affect the sound of an outdoor saxophone performance, particularly for quieter, more ambient playing. For high-energy performances with amplification and backing tracks, wind is less of an issue as the PA handles the projection. Cold weather can affect reed instruments, making the reed less responsive and harder to control, so very cold conditions are not ideal. If you are planning an outdoor event, discuss this with the saxophonist in advance and confirm the power supply arrangements if they need amplification.

Hire a Saxophonist in Edinburgh

Edinburgh's mix of historic venues, boutique hotels and festival culture creates strong demand for saxophonists year-round. Many Edinburgh-based sax players have trained at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland or built their skills in the city's jazz clubs, and bring that musicianship to weddings, corporate events and private parties across the city and beyond.

Saxophone at Edinburgh weddings

A saxophonist works well at several points in an Edinburgh wedding. For drinks receptions in the courtyard of a Georgian townhouse or the grounds of a castle venue, solo sax over gentle backing tracks creates atmosphere without competing with conversation. For the evening, a sax and DJ set brings dance floor energy to even the most traditional setting. Edinburgh's stone-walled venues can be acoustically challenging, but experienced local saxophonists know how to manage their sound in these rooms. For couples planning live music across the full day, pairing a saxophonist with a harpist for the ceremony is a combination that works particularly well.

Festival season and corporate events

August's festival season generates a spike in demand for entertainment at private parties, sponsor events and late-night gatherings. Hogmanay is another peak period. Corporate events are a staple of the Edinburgh calendar, with financial services firms, law practices and public sector organisations regularly booking saxophonists for awards dinners, conference receptions and networking events. A sax and DJ combination is a popular format for corporate entertaining, adding a live element alongside the DJ without the logistics of a full band.

Edinburgh saxophonist costs

Saxophonists in Edinburgh are currently priced from £100 to £4047, with an average of £526. A standard booking typically covers two sets of around 45 minutes. Festival season and Hogmanay dates carry higher rates, and weekend bookings during peak wedding season (June to September) are the most in demand. Every listing shows a starting price, and the price comparison section on this page gives a full breakdown.
