Please note that this list is split into different genres across different pages, and is meant to cater to all age ranges and audiences throughout the various sections of the event. I’m happy to cater to any musical style/ playlist within reason, please let me know if you have any specific requests that aren’t on this list.
If booking for an evening party, please refer to the “Party” section of this document, and also please feel free to select any songs from the “Evening Sample Playlist” document.
All songs are played from memory with backing tracks (or with DJ if during evening party), and no music stand is used. Please give at least one month’s notice (preferably more if you have more than 3 requests) for any new songs you would like me to learn.
Sax Styles:
Pop & Chart
Old Classics (60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, Reggae)
Love Songs & Ballads
Jazz & Swing
Sax House
Party (evening disco)
Please note this playlist is simply a guide to the kinds of tracks that may be played to cater to all audiences during a typical wedding, and by no means a full or extensive list of evening music. My library has over 20,000 songs ranging from very commercial to more clubby genres of music and I’m happy to cater to any musical style/ playlists and of course take requests on the night.
