Hello! I’m Dan, a DJ and Sax Player specialising in performances at weddings and events. I offer a variety of individual DJ and Sax performances, as well as inclusive packages where you can mix and match to create a package perfect for you.‌

I’m an easy-going and organised person who loves music, meeting new people and listening to people’s ideas to make them come to life. By taking the time to get to know you both as a couple, I’ll create a personalised playlist of music that reflects your journey together. From your first dance to the final encore, every song is chosen to celebrate you as a couple and create a day you and your guests will never forget.

Sax

Whether it’s an all-out immersive, energetic, party performance where I’m on the dancefloor with you and your guests, or a more low-key performance to match the tone of different sections of the day, I can tailor my sets to match the kind of style you would like for different parts of the day.‌

DJ

I offer a variety of DJ packages from a floor-filling wedding DJ, mixing your favourite tracks to create a seamless flow of music for your evening reception, to all day music management and hosting to ensure your guests know where to be and when in a friendly and approachable way.

All DJ and Sax packages can include taking care of the music at your ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast, cocktail hour and evening reception.

Popular Individual Packages

  • Drinks Reception Sax Performance (After ceremony, before meal)
  • Evening DJ
  • Evening Sax Performance (no DJ included)

Popular Combined Packages

  • Evening DJ and Sax Performance combined - Most Popular Package
  • Evening DJ and Drinks Reception Sax Performance
  • Evening DJ, Evening Sax Performance and Drinks Reception Sax Performance

By giving you recommended ways to create a request list, filter through guest requests you aren’t keen on, ensure there is a mix of music for all ages and music preferences, my role is to make the entertainment part of your day as stress-free as possible. All whilst keeping your favourite tracks and genres at the heart of everything - it is your wedding after all!

No two weddings are alike, and that’s what makes each one so special. Watching guests from different generations and backgrounds come together on the dance floor is a sight that never gets old. The smiles, laughter, and sometimes even tears of joy are the reasons why I do what I do. It’s more than just playing music, it’s about creating an atmosphere where everyone feels the love and joy of the occasion.

Here is a review from a Bride and Groom to get a sense of my approach to all weddings,

“AMAZING!!! Couldn’t recommended Dan more!! Any event, he would be the perfect fit. We had the pleasure of Dan as a DJ at our wedding and also playing the saxophone and he was fantastic! Never heard anyone play a saxophone so well. He was well dressed and very organised, really good communication before the wedding and had everything perfect for us on the day. Can’t thank you enough Dan!! If you’re looking for a DJ or a saxophonist or both like we did, this is your guy!!!”

What a Night!!

Dan is incredible! From our first enquiry to even after our wedding day! Great communication, attention to detail, bringing all the right vibes to our wedding, sending us photos and videos he captured! We had the DJ and night Sax performance and WOW! What a way to end our night! Dan was super flexible and supportive with timings and requests - it was a hot day and in typical wedding style things ran over. Dan went above and beyond to make sure we felt relaxed and our guests were entertained! On our wedding day we were super busy with photos and greeting night guests and Dan did his thing and kept the party alive! Everyone could not believe how incredible the Sax was - they videoed, laughed, sang, danced and still speak about how amazing I it was to this day! Thank you so much!

Absolutely incredible!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and saxophonist than Dan!

From the moment we booked, Dan’s customer service was exceptional. He was always so quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. He made the whole process so easy and gave us complete confidence that our evening would be amazing.

On our wedding day, Dan went above and beyond by accommodating our request to play the saxophone outside during our evening reception. It created the most incredible atmosphere and was such a memorable moment that we’ll cherish forever.

The music throughout the evening was absolutely perfect. Dan knew exactly how to read the room, played the best mix of songs, and played our must be played songs when we were in the room. The live saxophone was phenomenal and added such a unique touch that made our wedding stand out.

Our guests have not stopped talking about how amazing he was. So many people commented on how brilliant the music was, how much they loved the saxophone, and what an incredible atmosphere he created. Everyone had the best time, and the evening simply wouldn’t have been the same without him.

If you’re considering booking Dan, don’t hesitate – he is worth every penny. Professional, talented, friendly, and genuinely dedicated to making your day unforgettable. Thank you, Dan, for helping make our wedding the best day of our lives. We couldn’t recommend you more highly!

Superb DJ sax 10/10

I couldn’t recommend Dan highly enough. The only thing my new wife had ever said she definitely wanted if we got married was a saxophone player and Dan was absolutely incredible from start to finish.

Dan went above and beyond for Rach and I, after we asked if was possible to perform a sax solo from a song that means a lot to Rach. Not only did Dan learn the sax solo, he absolutely smashed it.

Our guests have commented loads on how much they loved Dan as our DJ and the 3 x 30 min sax sets were a huge hit on keeping people on the dance floor.

I hope to be at a wedding in future as a guest where Dan is DJ, a wonderful human being and fantastic at his craft.

Thanks for making our day Dan!

The Billington Wedding - DJ/Sax

Dan was absolutely amazing and I couldn’t recommend him more! From one bride to another, trust me when I say your entertainment is one of the most important parts of your day. Dan played the sax during our drinks reception which created such a gorgeous atmosphere and then brought the atmosphere with DJ/sax in the evening - the dance floor was everything I’d hoped for and more! Dan was a huge part of our wedding day and we couldn’t be more grateful 😊

Sophie & Callum 29 May 2026

We booked Dan after seeing him at my cousins wedding and loving his dj and sax set. The music was such an important aspect of our day and wanted to make sure it was taken care of. Safe to say we made the right choice!

In the lead up to the day Dan was super helpful and speedy in responding to our messages and questions. He went above and beyond to make us feel at ease and listen to our preferences. He even took request to learn new songs on the sax in advance. We were able to build up a really good rapport and went into the day with full confidence as a result.

We were really nervous about our first dance but Dan made sure it all flowed nicely and naturally. The DJ and sax sets afterwards were amazing and kept the party going. Our guests absolutely loved it and spoke about it for days afterwards.

So grateful to Dan for making our day so fun and special. Would recommend him to anyone planning their wedding or event.

Thank you!!

Incredible Energy, Music & Sax - Highly Recommend!

Dan was absolutely fabulous – we couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

We hired Dan to play saxophone and DJ at our wedding at Hanbury Wedding Barn, and he completely exceeded our expectations from start to finish. For the afternoon, he played a fantastic selection of Ibiza-style tracks, creating the perfect laid-back, feel-good vibe while our guests enjoyed the sunshine. It really set the tone for the day and had everyone smiling and relaxed.

One of the standout moments for us was when Dan played us into our wedding breakfast. He went the extra mile and learned a song especially for us, which made it feel so personal and memorable – something we’ll never forget.

As the day moved into the evening, Dan kept the energy flowing effortlessly. He has an amazing ability to read the room and play exactly the right songs to keep the dance floor full all night. His sax sets were incredible – not only was he brilliant musically, but he got involved on the dance floor too, which really added to the atmosphere and got everyone dancing.

We’re so pleased we found Dan. He delivered everything we asked for and so much more, and he played a huge part in making our day so special. If you’re considering a sax and DJ for your event who is great value for money and keeps everyone in the dance floor, don’t hesitate – Dan is amazing!

10/10 would recommend!!!!

If you're looking for someone who can guarantee a packed dance floor, incredible energy and unforgettable entertainment, then Dan is your person.
From the moment the evening started, Dan kept the vibe going all night long. He completely understood the atmosphere we wanted and somehow managed to keep the dance floor full from start to finish. Looking back at the photos and videos, it's clear he was responsible for encouraging some very questionable dance moves – but that's exactly what makes a great wedding party!
The absolute highlight of the evening was Dan's surprise saxophone performance. We knew it was coming, but seeing the reactions from our guests was priceless. People were completely shocked when he suddenly appeared with the saxophone and started playing alongside the music. It brought such an amazing energy to the room and instantly took the party to another level.
Even now, our guests are still talking about it. The saxophone set became one of the standout moments of the entire wedding and something people genuinely didn't expect. It added such a unique touch and created memories that we'll all be laughing and talking about for years to come.
Dan is not only a fantastic DJ but an incredible entertainer who knows exactly how to read a room and keep the momentum going. He created the perfect soundtrack to our evening celebration and gave us the kind of dance floor every couple dreams of.
Thank you, Dan, for helping us end our wedding day in the best possible way. We couldn't have asked for a better party!

Wow! What an incredible talented man

We booked Dan for our wedding and he provided a few sets of Sax and DJ all day. He was incredible. Read the room really well and kept everyone in the party mood. His saxophone playing was incredible! Very Ibiza styled.

We keep watching videos back of Dan playing the Sax.

Our guests are also still talking about Dan and how amazing he was. Highly recommend! If you don’t book him, then you’ll regret it. You won’t be disappointed.

Great DJ and Sax

We booked Dan for DJ and Sax for our wedding and couldn't be happier. Dan's communication before the wedding was great and he made sure he know what we wanted including special requests. We hadn't told our guests that Dan also played Sax and they all absolutely loved the surprise, it was a real highlight of the day. Dan kept the energy up throughout the evening and we would 100% recommend him for weddings or other events.

Fantastic evening!

Dan was absolutely brilliant. He’s got a fantastic personality as well as being insanely skilled and professional. Everybody enjoyed his sax performances and we have heard nothing but good things about him from all our guests. Our wedding was on a Sunday so we expected that things would get quieter towards the end of the night which they did, but Dan was great at playing our requests for us and our guests to make sure there was still dancing right up until the last moment. We can’t thank you enough for being part of our special day. You made it even more memorable. We would hire him again and recommend him to every couple.

Hopefully I can update the review with pics when we get professional photos back!

The Best Wedding DJ and Sax!

Thank you so much to Dan for playing at our wedding reception in Jan 2026. The set was truly beyond expectations and really brought the party to life, it was the real highlight for both of us of the whole wedding. Dan read the crowd perfectly and kept the energy high all night and we haven't stopped hearing from our guests about how much they loved the music and dancing! From booking to the end of the night the process was easy, the price was reasonable and Dan was really friendly and helpful- and he played every song on our list as well. If you are looking for a sax DJ for your wedding and party and are considering Dan - BOOK! I promise you won’t regret it

Highly recommend!

We had Dan as our DJ and saxophonist for our wedding reception this summer at Rowton Castle, and he was absolutely fantastic! Dan was very responsive and communicated with ourselves and the venue throughout the planning process and made everything really easy. He was happy to take our song requests and made sure the music on the night reflected exactly what we wanted. Dan kept the dance floor busy all night and the live sax performances were full of energy and such a highlight of the evening - everyone loved it! We’d highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for live music to enhance their event - he's an excellent musician and performer, friendly and good value for money.

Dan was excellent for our wedding!

We couldn't be happier with all aspects of the DJ & Sax that Dan provided for our wedding. From initial contact, Dan was polite, courteous and offered his knowledge and experience to ensure our wedding party went as we imagined. His performance on the Saxophone was flawless and DJ sets catered for all our guests. We have had numerous complimentary comments from our guests about Dan's evening entertainment. Thankyou for making the party so memorable! We couldn't recommend Dan enough to anyone who is looking for a DJ for their wedding and highly recommend the Saxophone performances!
