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.
