Why Add a Sax? The Moment Every Head Turns

The first sax line cuts through the room. Guests cheer. Phones come out. Ask couples who've had one and you'll hear the same thing: don't skip the sax.

The sax plays the horn lines and solos you know from the records. It takes the instrumental breaks, answers the singers and lifts every final chorus. With two voices out front and sax on top, we sound bigger and look like a show.

Who Is a Six-Piece Band Best For?

Couples who want the dance floor to be the point of the night. Sax needs a crowd to play to, so give us a room where your guests can push right up to the band.

It works in the quiet sets too. While your guests eat, the sax sits under soft jazz and soul, and the conversation keeps flowing.

How Does the Night Flow With Sax?

Dinner gets a smoky solo. The dance floor gets the sax out in the crowd.

Drinks, canapés and dinner. Sax over slow soul and jazz standards, low enough to talk over, warm enough to notice.

Your first dance. Played live, with a sax solo if your song suits one.

The dance floor. The Uptown Funk (Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars) horn hits land and the floor stays packed all night.

Across your five-hour reception that's live music the whole way, with our Spotify playlist, or yours, in the breaks.

Which Songs Sound Best With Sax?

Anything with horns, a groove or a big instrumental break. A few moments from our Six-Piece Band videos:

  • "Uptown Funk" (Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars). The sax punches out those famous horn hits.
  • "Proud Mary" (Tina Turner). Starts nice and easy, then the whole band takes off.
  • "Ain't Nobody" (Chaka Khan). A sax solo over that groove fills the floor.

How Much Does a Six-Piece Band Cost?

Guests cheer the first sax solo. By the second, nobody's sitting down.

A Six-Piece Band in Sydney starts from $5,290 for a 5-hour reception. All prices include GST.

Sax from the first drink to the last song, not just the solos.

Many couples pair a Six-Piece Band with a String Quartet, which covers your entrance, the signing of the register and your exit.

SAX CHANGES EVERYTHING

"The addition of our sax player changes everything. From incredible feature moments to weaving through the crowd and interacting with guests, the sax player brings a whole new level of energy, excitement and personality to the celebration. Six musicians create a bigger performance with even greater atmosphere and visual impact.

When our sax player kicks off, it’s party time. The combination of two singers and our sax player creates unforgettable moments on the dance floor, turning a great celebration into the kind of night guests talk about long after it’s over."

Six-Piece Band: Frequently Asked Questions

Who's in a Six-Piece Band?

A lead singer on guitar, a second singer, keys, bass, drums and sax. It's our Five-Piece Band with live sax on top, playing the horn lines and solos you know from the records, taking the instrumental breaks and answering the singers. We play weddings together every weekend, so the sax and the voices lock in from the first note.

How much does a six-piece wedding band cost?

From $5,290 for a five-hour Sydney reception, with travel within 30 km of Sydney included. Ferries and accommodation are extra if your venue needs them, and parking is added unless your venue has free parking. That's sax all night, not just the solos. Pair it with a String Quartet for your ceremony and a package discount applies automatically. All prices include GST.

Is a sax worth adding to a wedding band?

Most couples who add sax say yes, and their advice to each other is don't skip the sax. It brings the horn lines and solos that get guests cheering: the Uptown Funk (Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars) horn hits, a solo over Ain't Nobody (Chaka Khan). When it steps out into the crowd, phones come out, and it's often the moment people remember most.

Can we have electric violin instead of sax?

Often, yes. It depends on your line-up, so ask your Band Manager early. Electric violin takes the same solos and instrumental breaks as the sax, and plays out in the crowd the same way, with a very different sound on top of the two voices. If your must-plays are full of horn lines, though, the sax is hard to beat.

Can the sax play before and during dinner?

Yes. The whole band plays the relaxed sets, and the sax sits under slow soul and jazz standards while your guests eat, low enough to talk over and warm enough to notice. Dinner gets a smoky solo; the dance floor gets the sax out in the crowd. Same player, two very different moods.

How long does the band play?

Live music right across your five-hour reception, and the sax is part of all of it, not just the solos. Soft jazz and soul while your guests eat, your first dance played live with a sax solo if your song suits one, then Proud Mary (Tina Turner) starting nice and easy before the whole band takes off and nobody sits down again. Between sets, we play our Spotify playlist or yours.

What's the difference between a Six- and a Seven-Piece Band?

One more musician, and you choose what that musician brings. The Seven-Piece Band adds lead guitar for big rock solos, with a dedicated guitarist playing the riffs while the lead singer focuses on singing, or a trumpet alongside the sax for a two-horn soul and funk sound. Love rock? Choose guitar. Love Motown? Choose horns.

Can we have music for our ceremony too?

Yes. Many couples pair a Six-Piece Band with a String Quartet, so the strings play your walk down the aisle and the band plays your first dance that night. An Acoustic Singer or Acoustic Vocal Duo is a popular match too. Book ceremony and reception together and a package discount is applied automatically.
