The dance floor was always full.

Absolutely amazing! We hired Dom for our wedding, which turned out to be the best decision we ever made! He really understood the vibe we wanted to create, and kept the party atmosphere alive all evening. Everyone had an incredible time, and the dance floor was always full. Thank you Dom, you smashed it!

Would definitely book Dom again!

Dom played a set at our wedding on Saturday to fill the time between the ceremony & sit down meal. It was amazing from start to finish. All of our guests loved listening whilst enjoying their pimms in the sunshine. Dom really interacted with all of us and we ended up having a dance with him on the lawn at the end. He was very accommodating and his communication with us leading up to the day was spot on. Thank you Dom for being a part of our special day. We would definitely book you again.

Full of energy, smiles, amazingly talented!

I was searching for a sax player for my wedding on Instagram and I was recommended to Dom. As soon as we started chatting I thought what a lovely guy! He then was so professional and we had a meeting a few weeks before the wedding to go through the songs we wanted, which I thought was a great idea and we also go to meet before the big day! When we got off the phone I said to my husband, he’s going to be amazing.. and he was. He was full of energy, smiles, he was absolutely amazingly talented! Th

Fast, fun and very interactive!

Dom plays Sax played at my daughters wedding. He was quite simply brilliant. He worked alongside Mike Readings DJ, they were a excellent team. It's fast, fun and very interactive with Dom playing whilst dancing around with guests on the dance floor. Everyone loved it. Can't praise him enough. All our guests commented on what fun it was and it kept them all up and dancing all evening.

One of the best decisions we made!

We had the pleasure of having Dom Plays Sax perform at our wedding last week, and it was one of the best decisions we made! He gave us an epic grand entrance to get all the guests in the mood and then went on to smash out all the bangers! From the moment he started playing, the atmosphere was so much fun, creating a the best vibe. Dom played a great mix of dance music, blending seamlessly with the DJ, and had everyone on their feet all night. His ability to interact with the crowd and bring an e

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Being asked to perform for a lovely couple at a beachside hotel in Gouves, Crete! The sunset, the sound of the waves with my tropical house tunes and partying all the way until 2am! SO MUCH FUN!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Energetic, Mesmerising, Engaging, Breathtaking, Marvelous

What about your business are you most proud of?

Being able to tailor my sets to the couples. This makes it bespoke for them and the perfect wedding day performance!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Take your time and break it down! Wedding planning should also be enjoyable as you are creating your perfect party with all your friends and family! If you break the day down to Ceremony, Drinks Reception, Wedding Breakfast, Evening Reception you can then tick off your list and budget more easily. Spreadsheets are boring but key!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Personalised Neon Lights add such a special touch for really great value. You then get to have them for your home afterwards...winner!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Once the couple have found the perfect package for the time of their day they envisage the saxophone fitting, couples book through the calendar on domplayssax.com. When going through this process, they answer a quick questionnaire to provide details they know initially. Once they have laid down their initial booking fee, they will then receive an email automatically asking them to book a video call 4-6 weeks in advance to confirm the initial details are still accurate however couples are able to email or WhatsApp Dom at any time before the day with a 48 hour response time as standard. I will arrive at least 45 minutes before the performance time to setup at the venue itself.

What makes a romantic first dance?

Creating the perfect first dance comes from 3 things; Having it choreographed and practicing with a teacher, add a live instrumentalist (Vocalist, Saxophonist, Dhol Drummer, Drummer, Violinist, Guitarist etc) and have a mix from the DJ to allow you to have a part where the BPM increases to allow your guests to obviously know when to join you on the dancefloor. Making your bridesmaids and groomsmen aware that they should jump in at this point as well is really important!

What is your number one floor-filler?

Show Me Love - Robin S (I prefer the Steve Angello version as it has a better beat to it though!)

Which band from the past would you most like to have been part of?

Either Dizzy Gillespie's Big Band OR Duran Duran

What is the soundtrack to your life?

Jubel - Klingande
