Spencer Sax is a musical artist and DJ from Lancaster, Lancashire, who performs at weddings and other special occasions.

About

Based in the North West, Spencer is one of the industry's leading saxophonists! He has played professionally for 16 years, performed worldwide, and consecutively for the last 3 years, he has performed at over 100 weddings each year. Spencer is known mainly for his energy levels and ability to hype up any crowd, whether it be your evening drinks reception or afternoon canapes. He is an expert at the saxophone, achieving a first-class degree and a distinction master's qualification in saxophone performance from the Royal Northern College of Music (the country's leading Saxophone institution!)

Spencer prides himself on tailoring his packages to fit around your day and your needs, whether that be specific performance instructions such as "Surprise entrance" or providing demo first dance videos as part of his booking process if you want to hear how that first dance as a married couple will sound with Spencer's soaring sax playing.

Packages

Afternoon drinks\canapes:

For the "Afternoon drinks" slot (usually the part of the day between the ceremony and wedding breakfast.), Spencer can provide up to 90 minutes of music with no break to ensure a continuous atmosphere. This set is performed at a lower volume level to allow you and your guests to catch up.

He can tailor the music playlist to suit your tastes, but some popular music playlists include the following:

  • Club Mambo/Ibiza sunset
  • Motown/Soulful Sax
  • Jazzy cocktail

The saxophone provides such a classy atmosphere regardless of which playlist you choose. The saxophone always has the wow factor (especially with Spencer's trademark gold jacket!).

If the sun is out, Spencer can set up outside with his remote and tidy battery-powered sound system to get that sunset atmosphere going for you! Even when you get your photos taken, you'll hear his upbeat sax playing, and you'll all be dancing and creating those everlasting memories.

Ceremony add on:

Spencer can add your ceremony to the "Afternoon drinks" package or the "Dual Package". For this, you get up to 30 minutes of background melodic, beautiful sax melodies as your guests are seated. Spencer takes on any song requests you have for the bridal entrance and the couple exit song. Literally, ANY song you want is fine. He can also provide 10 minutes of music to sign the register if needed. Again, he is happy to take on any special performance requests.

Wedding Breakfast/Power 30mins:

This is Spencer's newest package. He arrives earlier in the day to set up his sound system so that his surprise entrance isn't ruined, and when you think the moment is right, he does a massive SURPRISE entrance that you and your guests will never forget. For this Power 30 minutes, Spencer will excite the crowd and get everyone on their feet, dancing and singing along to his set. This is such a fun set, and if you're looking to burn off the pudding by having a good dance with your closest people, get this one booked. It's 30 minutes of high-energy/saxophone fun!

Cocktail hour:

This is a perfect set to get you and your guests in the mood for dancing throughout the whole night. This set is ideal if you have a room turn-around and don't want that dreaded Lull in your day. You'll walk out of your wedding breakfast with full bellies and big smiles, and immediately, you'll be transported to a classy cocktail bar with Spencer's Saxophone playing. This playlist is upbeat with disco/remixes of pop songs so that you can sing along, but because of the style of music, it has a more contemporary style. It will add that extra luxurious touch that you want to elevate this part of the day and get your guests in the mood for PARTY!!! If you want a more downplayed version, Spencer can also play a jazzy playlist here instead. This might be more fitting for a Masquerade ball theme, perhaps!

Evening party:

This is Spencer's most popular package, and for good reason!!

For the "Evening Party" slot, you'd have Spencer hired for the whole night so that you can have the impact of the sax throughout the entire night! He'd team up with the DJ you book or the DJ that comes with your venue to keep you and your guests dancing. He'd arrive before the room changeover so everything is set up smoothly with guests. The initial plan would be to perform 3 x 30mins sets of high-energy music throughout the night. If you would prefer smaller mini sets, this is fine, but in general, the 30-minute slots are a good length for the impact you're looking for.

He prides himself on keeping that dance floor full for you ALL NIGHT, and as he brings a wireless microphone, this allows him to be right next to you and your guests on the dance floor, throwing some shapes!

You can expect him to roam around the whole room and play with your guests on the tables so that everybody feels involved, and it truly is a fun/interactive experience.

He'd be very flexible on the night regarding when to perform the sets, but it's usually good to spread out the sax playing throughout the night.

He's pleased to play first dances, etc., so if you wanted this, this would be part of the deal.

Dual Package:

If you're looking for exceptional value for money, this package is for you. You get the "Evening Party" package and the "Afternoon Drinks/Canapes" package at a HEAVILY DISCOUNTED rate. The ceremony add-on can also be added to this package.

Travel Policy:

Spencer travels nationwide (UK) for weddings, including a travel-inclusive zone from his base (Lancaster) of 2.5 hours. If your venue is further away than this, an extra travel charge will be added during the booking process. This is all ironed out at the very beginning of the booking process, so there won't be any nasty surprises.

Absolutely Phenomenal!

We had Spencer for our wedding evening entertainment a few weeks ago. He was absolutely amazing and there wasn’t a single person sat down all night! He was so much fun and interacted with every single guest. Everyone loved him and I would definitely recommend. My guests haven't stopped talking about him!! He made our night.

The Wow Factor

Spencer was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding! I arranged for him to play as a surprise, both for the guests and my husband, and it could not have gone more perfectly. My husband was completely taken aback - the look on his face was priceless! Spencer was incredible and added such a special, vibrant energy to the day. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about it since; everyone was blown away by the talent and atmosphere it created. It truly made our celebration unforgettable - I can’t recommend him highly enough!

🎷 Saxophone experince

We booked Spencer for our drinks reception and prior to this, we were undecided between an acoustic singer or the saxophone. I couldn’t be more happy with my decision as he was absolutely unbelievable and everyone loved him. He was so friendly and happy to work with us on the day on how we wanted things to run. Thank you for the amazing memories.

Goes above and beyond

Where do I begin with Spencer.. I honestly cannot recommend him enough.

We got married at Hobbit Hill recently and I wanted a Robin Hood song that was very difficult to find online. Along with learning additional instrumental songs for our ceremony last minute, Spencer went out of his way without being asked to find a downloadable version of the song I wanted. He also worked with my brother and our wedding coordinator on the day to time the music so I came down the aisle to the most memorable part of the song and I was also overwhelmed to hear him playing the sax to the song as I walked down the aisle. It meant so much to me and shows his character and his heart to go the extra mile to make a persons wedding feel that bit more special.

We also had the afternoon drinks package and his jazz sax was just beautiful and set the mood so perfectly. I had so many guests telling me how much they loved Spencer’s music and how memorable it was. If you are thinking of hiring Spencer, know that you definitely won’t regret this incredibly talented man and beautiful soul. Thank you so much Spencer :)

Such a talent!

We booked Spencer for three sets during our wedding evening and wow, he did not disappoint. Spencer arrived with a surprise entrance after our first dance and ensured everyone got up on the dance floor and stayed there! He was a great hit with everyone, even the oldies! Spencer is a terrific sax player and worked flawlessly with the DJ we had booked also. We received so many compliments from our guests for Spencer, and he really made sure everyone had a good time. Highly recommend Spencer for anyone looking for a sax player on their wedding. Thank you once again Spencer.

Book now or regret later 😍!!

Our experience with Spencer was 5 star from communication when booking to the incredible entertainment he providing at our wedding!
Spencer was amazing from start to finish! We had a few concerns about the weather so had options as to when Spencer would play, he was incredibly relaxed & made us worry free about this & ensured us it would be great whatever way it worked out - and it was!!
He got the party started when everyone was feeling a little tired & full after our wedding breakfast & got the energy high again within minutes!
He was great at our evening celebration too and kept the dance floor packed the whole night! I would definitely recommend booking him for your whole evening as it was great to have segments of the evening where he played!
So many of our guests said how amazing he was & that it was a great part of our day!
Book him now or regret later!! 😅

Wrenbury Hall 22.08.25

Spencer was absolutely amazing playing at our wedding. We had him for the reception drinks where he played chilled music which was a massive hit with our guests, and also at night for our party. We wanted a party and Spencer definitely delivered this. He had so many compliments from guests and we cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Spencer for making our day extra special!

Amazing live saxophone for our wedding

When we booked our wedding we discussed having a Saxophone experience. So done some research and checked lots out. We came across Spencer Sax on his instagram page and loved what we saw! The reviews were great so touched base and made some enquiries. Spencer was very professional and considerate to our suggestions and gave us some great ideas for songs too. Throughout the whole process everything was smooth running with a plenty of communication. We have no regrets whatsoever and so happy we considered Spencer! If you are thinking about having the live saxophone experience I 100% recommend Spencer Sax the energy he brought to the dance floor was a different level it was a vibe from start to finish and made our wedding extra special. He will collaborate with DJ to ensure everything all works together with what tunes you want playing, worth every penny. Thanks Spencer you were amazing!
