I'm Paul Martyn, a Nottingham-based wedding saxophone player and DJ. I play live sax through your drinks reception and dinner, then play over a DJ set to fill the dancefloor. Full sound and lighting are included with every package.
A saxophone player changes the feel of a wedding. Live sax during your drinks reception gives guests something to talk about while the photographs happen, quieter live music over the wedding breakfast keeps the room warm, and once the evening starts Paul plays sax over a DJ set so the dancefloor fills and stays full.
Paul is based in Nottingham and has been performing for over 25 years, from pubs and clubs at 17 to supporting major acts in front of crowds of 6,000+. At a wedding that experience shows up as an easy, friendly act that reads the room, not a performance that gets in the way of your day.
Live sax for the drinks reception, from relaxed sunset-lounge tunes to a few crowd-pleasers as guests arrive and mingle.
Softer background music while your guests eat, so the room is warm without anyone having to shout over the music.
Ibiza-style live sax over a DJ set: your tunes, your party, all night long. This is where couples say the dancefloor never empties.
I've performed at venues right across Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands, and several of them list me as a recommended supplier, including:
