Top Wedding Sax First Dance Songs and How Much They Cost – Celebrate Your Love with Live Music

Choosing the right music for your wedding first dance can be challenging, but adding a live saxophone performance will make it extraordinary.

Whether you want a romantic ballad, a nostalgic tune, or an upbeat number, a wedding saxophonist can tailor the performance to your style. But how much does a saxophonist typically cost, and what are some of the best songs for your special moment?

For many couples, selecting a meaningful song is crucial. Popular options for wedding sax first dances include classics like "At Last" by Etta James, which signifies a new chapter, or more modern hits such as "All of Me" by John Legend, especially in a lively remix that gets everyone involved. For a fun twist, consider "Higher Love" (Kygo Remix), which is incredibly versatile and known to get guests singing along.

If you prefer a song that’s personal yet lively, ask your saxophonist if they can learn special requests. A well-performed live version of your favourite tune will elevate the intimacy and excitement of your first dance. Keep in mind that custom songs or special arrangements may incur an additional fee, from anything like £50 to £200+ depending on the complexity.

Regarding costs, hiring a wedding saxophonist typically ranges from £300 to £900 for a performance during your ceremony and first dance. Factors influencing the price include the musician’s experience, location, and the length of the performance. Some saxophonists offer package deals for multiple sets during the evening—covering background music, dinner entertainment, and dancing—providing excellent value.

The decision to hire a saxophonist adds a visual and auditory focal point, encouraging guests to participate and making your wedding a lively, memorable event. Collaborate with your musician early to discuss song choices, timing, and any special requests, ensuring the performance compliments your overall wedding theme.

In summary, investing in a live wedding saxophonist isn’t just about music; it’s about creating an atmosphere filled with emotion, joy, and energy that will stay in your memories forever.
