Wedding Sax Player, Ceremony to Last Dance.

I'm Paul Martyn, a wedding sax player, singer and DJ. I can play your ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast, then play live sax over a DJ set to keep the dancefloor full all night. I'm based in Nottingham and play weddings across the UK and abroad, with full sound and lighting included.

Where a sax player fits into your wedding day

Ceremony

Live sax for your entrance, the signing and your walk back down the aisle as a married couple.

Drinks reception

Sax and vocals while the photos happen, so guests have something to enjoy and talk about.

Wedding breakfast

Softer music over the meal that keeps the room warm without drowning out the conversation.

Evening party

From your first dance into an Ibiza-style live sax and DJ set that keeps the dancefloor full until the last song.

Why book a wedding sax player who is also the DJ?

Many weddings book a sax player for the afternoon and a DJ for the night. That means two setups, two sets of equipment in the room, and a gap where the music stops while one hands over to the other. With Paul there is one supplier and one point of contact, and the music runs from the ceremony to the last song without a break.

It also means the sax player knows exactly what is coming next. Paul has been performing for over 25 years and has played more than 2,500 events, so he reads the room and plays the right song at the right moment. Couples say he was calm and on hand through the planning, then had guests “from 12 years old to 80 years old” on the dancefloor.
