A saxophonist at a private party gives your guests something they did not expect. You can hire a saxophonist for a birthday, an anniversary, an engagement, a family reunion or a house party in Singapore, at home, in a restaurant, on a rooftop or on a yacht.
Price: a one hour set usually costs SGD 500 to 800, and 1 to 2 hours SGD 500 to SGD 1,200. See how much a sax player costs.
Parties that suit live sax
Birthdays. Smooth jazz while guests arrive, a big moment when the cake comes out, and pop hits after.
Anniversaries. Love songs over a dinner for two or a table of family and friends.
Engagements. Romantic covers as the couple arrives, then a lighter set for the celebration.
Family reunions and house parties. Easy listening for the older guests, upbeat songs for everyone else.
Rooftop and yacht parties. Live sax with a view, and with a DJ once the party picks up.
Plan the moments
At a small party the saxophonist is part of the room, not on a stage. Pick two or three moments that matter, such as the arrival, the toast and the first song on the dance floor. One hour is often enough for a dinner at home. Two to three hours covers a full party. Late night sets, such as an after party, may cost extra, so say if you want the music to run late.
The music
You choose the songs. Smooth jazz classics, bossa nova, R&B, pop hits and house all work on sax. Send the list with the moment for each song, and mark the ones you must hear. A song outside the usual list may need arranging, so send it early. The saxophonist reads the room and adjusts the volume and the pace.
At home
The saxophonist brings the technical gear needed, whether the party is in a living room, a garden or a function room. Check your building's rules on noise and time limits before you plan a late set, and tell the team about lifts, parking and where the player can set up.
Sax with a DJ
If you already have a DJ, a saxophonist can play over the tracks for the peak of the night. See DJ and sax. Prefer a different look? Book a female saxophonist. Send your date and area on WhatsApp or through the quote form.
