Alastair was absolutely fab in every form. Great communication from the moment we reached out to him. He was so flexible with postponements wnd just simply made everything so easy. Nothing was too much trouble. He even came up to me on the day , gave me a hug and wished us well. One of the biggest things I said when firstly booking him, was that I didn’t want him too loud and making guests squint and barely hear themselves talk. Alastair completely agreed and told me I didn’t need to worry. He made sure he moved around the room. All guests would not stop going on about our music choices and said the sax really did fill the room / venue beautifully! We had jubel Klingande playing for our entrance into the wedding breakfast room and it was literally perfect. Could not recommended Alastair enough!!! Thank you so much

Why a Saxophonist is the Perfect Choice for Your Birmingham Event

Birmingham is a city of incredible diversity and cultural richness, with a music scene that’s as varied as its famous canals. Bringing a saxophonist into the mix is a brilliant way to tap into that creative spirit. This isn't just about having some background noise; it’s about crafting an atmosphere. A saxophonist is a musical chameleon, able to adapt their performance to fit the mood of your event perfectly. They can deliver mellow, ambient tunes for a relaxed drinks reception or crank up the energy with pop anthems that get everyone dancing.

The real beauty of a live saxophonist is their ability to interact with the space and the people in it. They can meander through the crowd, creating intimate and memorable moments, or take centre stage for a show-stopping performance. For a wedding, the emotive power of a saxophone can bring a tear to the eye. For a corporate event, it can break the ice and get conversations flowing. For a private party, it tells your guests that this is no ordinary get-together.

At Poptop, we believe you get more than just a service; you get an experience. Our suppliers are handpicked for their incredible talent and their knack for creating a warm, friendly, and engaging atmosphere. They are masters of their craft who connect with your guests, making sure everyone feels welcome and has an amazing time. This leaves you with fantastic memories of a truly happy occasion, elevated by that unique, personal touch.

Weddings That Wow

Your wedding day is a collection of deeply personal moments, and the music you choose should be just as meaningful. A saxophonist can add a layer of romance and elegance that will make your day even more unforgettable.

  • The Ceremony: Imagine the beautiful, breathy notes of a saxophone playing a soft, romantic melody as you walk down the aisle. It's an incredibly moving and personal alternative to a recorded track, creating a wonderfully intimate atmosphere.
  • The Drinks Reception: This is where a saxophonist truly comes into their own. While your guests are catching up and enjoying a glass of fizz, a sax player can create the perfect sophisticated backdrop with smooth jazz or chilled-out soul tunes. It’s classy, cool, and a fantastic talking point.
  • The Evening Reception: When it’s time to let your hair down, a saxophonist can team up with your DJ to bring the party to life. Improvising over pop hits and dance classics, they create an electrifying live energy that’s impossible to resist.

The Ideal Birmingham Backdrop for a Saxophone

Birmingham’s landscape is a fantastic mix of the historic and the ultra-modern, offering a brilliant variety of venues for any event. The city’s unique spaces provide the perfect stage for the versatile sounds of a saxophone.

Chic and Contemporary Modern Venues

Birmingham has seen a huge amount of redevelopment in recent years, resulting in a host of stunning modern venues. From the sleek event spaces in the city centre to the creative hubs in areas like the Jewellery Quarter and Digbeth, there are plenty of contemporary backdrops for a stylish celebration.

In these sharp, minimalist settings, the clean and vibrant sound of a saxophone playing pop or soul hits feels right at home. The clean lines and open spaces of a modern venue allow the music to take centre stage, creating an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and fun.

Grand and Glamorous Hotels

Birmingham is home to some magnificent hotels, from grand Victorian landmarks to luxurious modern boutiques. These venues offer an inbuilt sense of occasion and are perfect for more formal events like weddings and corporate dinners.

A saxophonist can enhance this feeling of luxury, providing a soundtrack of smooth, elegant jazz or soul. Imagine your guests arriving for a drinks reception in a beautiful hotel ballroom, with the sophisticated sounds of a saxophone filling the air. It’s pure class and sets a wonderfully refined tone for the rest of the event.

Cosy and Classic Pubs

For a more relaxed and informal gathering, you can’t beat a classic British pub. Birmingham has a fantastic selection of traditional pubs and modern gastropubs, many of which have private function rooms that are perfect for a party.

In this warm and inviting setting, a saxophonist can create a brilliant atmosphere. They can play a lively set of well-known pop and soul tunes that will have everyone tapping their feet, or provide a more laid-back jazz performance for a Sunday afternoon get-together. It’s a great way to make a private pub party feel extra special. And finding the right fit couldn't be simpler. You don't need to be an event planning expert to use Poptop. Our platform is designed to be incredibly simple. All it takes is your event date, number of guests, and a postcode to instantly see a full range of perfectly matched services ready for your event.

Setting the Mood: Choosing Your Musical Theme

A saxophonist’s versatility is one of their greatest assets. They can master a huge range of musical styles, so you can choose a theme that perfectly matches the vibe you’re going for.

  • Timeless Jazz: For an atmosphere of effortless cool and sophistication, you can’t go wrong with jazz. It’s the perfect choice for a cocktail hour, a dinner party, or any event where you want the music to be elegant and engaging without being overpowering. It’s a classic for a reason.
  • Heartfelt Soul: Soul music is all about emotion and groove. A saxophonist playing soul classics will bring a warmth and richness to your event that is simply infectious. It’s perfect for creating a feel-good atmosphere and is versatile enough for both relaxed mingling and more upbeat moments.
  • Upbeat Pop: If you want to create a fun, high-energy party vibe, a saxophonist playing instrumental versions of your favourite pop hits is a fantastic choice. These are the tunes that everyone knows and loves, given a fresh and exciting twist. It’s a guaranteed way to get guests of all ages smiling and heading for the dance floor.

Planning your event should be exciting, not a source of worry. Forget the stress of wondering if everything is on track. We provide you with clear communication and updates at every stage of the planning process. By knowing exactly what's happening and when, you can feel confident and relaxed, allowing you to simply look forward to your celebration.

The Bottom Line: Budgeting for a Saxophonist in Birmingham

So, what’s the damage? Let's talk about the cost of hiring a top-notch saxophonist for your Birmingham event. As a general guide, you can expect the price to fall somewhere in the range of £340 to £750.

Several things can influence where in that range your quote will land:

  • The Musician’s Experience: A highly sought-after saxophonist with years of experience and a packed schedule will naturally be at the higher end of the scale. Their fee reflects their skill, professionalism, and reliability.
  • How Long You Need Them: A standard booking might be for a 2 x 45-minute set. If you want the saxophonist to play for a longer duration, for instance, throughout your drinks reception and evening party, the cost will be higher.
  • The Day of the Week: Unsurprisingly, Saturdays and bank holidays are the most popular days for events, so prices may be higher due to demand. You might find a better deal for a midweek event.
  • Special Requirements: If you want the saxophonist to play with a DJ or learn a specific piece of music for you, this may affect the final price.

Save the time and effort of searching multiple websites. Poptop brings all your event needs together in a single marketplace. Whether you’re looking for just one special touch or need to arrange everything from food to entertainment, you’ll find it all right here, making it easy to compare prices and find something that fits your budget.

Book Your Birmingham Saxophonist the Smart Way

Organising the entertainment for your event should be one of the most enjoyable parts of the planning process. Using a trusted platform like Poptop ensures it’s also completely stress-free. You can trust that your event is in safe hands. We are serious about quality, so we carefully vet all our suppliers to ensure they are reliable, professional, and exceptionally talented.

In the extremely unlikely event that something goes wrong and your chosen supplier can no longer make your event, we promise to find a suitable alternative for you. This commitment, combined with our money-back guarantee, means you can book with total confidence, knowing your celebration is protected. It’s all about providing you with complete peace of mind.

Hiring a saxophonist for your event in Birmingham is a fantastic way to create a unique and memorable atmosphere. It’s a touch of live-lounge luxury, a dash of party-starting energy, and a whole lot of style, all rolled into one. So go on, elevate your event and give your guests a musical experience they’ll be talking about for years to come.

Our suppliers’ services include setting up and testing equipment before the event. The saxophonist will need approximately 10-15 minutes to set up without a PA system. However, it will take 20-30 minutes to set up the equipment with a PA system.
Will a saxophonist sing any songs?
The saxophonist will provide a setlist ranging from Jazz to Classical to Pop music, R&B, Ibiza, and many more. Our suppliers offer a wide selection of songs, and they are willing to work with your song requests too.
