Wedding DJ & Saxophone Entertainment in France: What to Consider
We’ve worked with couples looking for all kinds of wedding entertainment, and there isn’t one option that works for everyone.
Some couples want a full live band. Others want a DJ who can keep the music going all night. And for many, a hybrid DJ and live musician is the perfect middle ground.
Here are a few things to think about when choosing your wedding entertainment.
Should I book a DJ or a live band?
It really comes down to the atmosphere you want.
A live band brings the energy and visual impact of musicians performing live, while a DJ gives you much more flexibility over the music and can cover a huge range of genres.
A hybrid DJ act gives you a bit of both. You get the continuous music and flexibility of a DJ, with live saxophone or percussion adding those standout moments.
Why add a saxophone to a DJ?
A live saxophone can completely change the feel of a DJ set.
Rather than simply hearing a track, your guests get to see and hear a musician performing alongside it. Saxophone works particularly well with House, Disco, Funk and Ibiza-style music but can also be used for more relaxed background sets.
Can I have live music during the drinks reception?
Yes. Some of our performers offer more relaxed options that work brilliantly during drinks and dinner. Sax Player Max, for example, offers jazz and background performance options as well as his higher-energy DJ Sax sets.
Can the DJ play our favourite songs?
Absolutely. Your wedding should sound like your wedding.
When you’re choosing your DJ, it’s worth discussing your favourite artists, must-play songs and any tracks you’d rather not hear. A good DJ will use this information alongside their experience to build a set that works for you and your guests.
When should I book my wedding DJ?
For destination weddings, we’d always recommend starting your entertainment search as early as possible.
Popular dates can become busy, particularly during the main wedding season. Once you’ve found an act that suits your style and budget, it’s worth enquiring early rather than leaving entertainment until the last minute.
