The set list was perfect!

Robert played during the drinks reception at our wedding and was absolutely brilliant. The setlist was perfect for the occasion and the atmosphere he created was exactly what we wanted. Communication was easy and efficient throughout the booking process. We would not hesitate to recommend him!

Special memories for a lifetime!

Robert, you are absolutely incredible at what you do! All of our guests, big and small (the children LOVED you and were absolutely fascinated!) complemented you and we would hire you again for future events in a heartbeat. You complemented our special day so perfectly, and the sound of your sax in the background of many of our videos is just beautiful! It’s a sound that will hold special memories for us for a lifetime 🤍 I highly recommend Robert to anybody who is getting married!

Just as we had imagined and more!

Thank you for creating such a great atmosphere on our wedding day during our reception. It was just as we had imagined and more! Walking down the aisle was so lovely with you playing us in, it made it really special. A excellent saxophone player and an all round lovely human, a pleasure to have you share our day!

Elegant & Soulful

We had the absolute pleasure of having Robert play at our wedding, and it was one of the highlights of the entire day. He is talented, professional, and his ability to read the room (or grounds as we were lucky enough to be outside) created the perfect atmosphere - elegant & soulful. He has a great set list with many songs that guests recognised. So many of our guests complimented the performance and the atmosphere that Robert created! We couldn’t recommend him more highly.

The guests loved all the songs!

Robert played at our wedding at Tortworth Court. It was a special treat for our guest and what a treat it was. We were able to select from his extensive playlist the songs that we wanted and he was very accommodating to work with our wedding timings. He is a brilliant sax player and us and the guests loved all the songs. He is very professional and creates a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a sax player for a wedding or any special event.

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

I have played many weddings but one of the most memorable venues I have played at was the historic Cliveden House. I played in a beautiful outdoor ceremony on the terrace, an intimate wedding breakfast in the elegant 'French Dining Room', and then during then on the balcony for cocktails at sunset. The views were absolutely stunning.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Soulful, Smooth, Captivating, Considerate, Classic

What about your business are you most proud of?

I take great pride in my punctuality, presentation, and professionalism, ensuring the best service from the moment I arrive, not just during my performance.

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

Get creative and be unconventional!

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

I once saw Willy Wonka bars with the guests names printed on them. Someone even got a gold ticket!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Upon receiving my brochure you can browse the act options I have available. We discuss the length of my performance and what parts of the day you'd like me to be involved in. I request the essential wedding details and explain the booking process in order to secure the date.

What makes a romantic first dance?

I prefer first dances that are not scripted or rehearsed. I think this moment should be exclusively for the couple to enjoy and express themselves however they wish, to whichever song resonates with them the most. As a guest, seeing the couple enjoy that moment for themselves is the most romantic thing in my opinion.

What is your number one floor-filler?

As a background music act, I don't exactly do floor-fillers but 'Rather Be' by Jess Glynn is one of my more upbeat tunes, which can sometimes get people singing along or dancing in the earlier parts of the day.

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

As a saxophonist, it would have to be part of Earth Wind and Fire's infamous horn section. Or stepping into the shoes of the mighty 80s saxophonist, Clarence Clemons, to play alongside Bruce Springsteen.

What is the soundtrack to your life?

The music I perform and listen to are very different... but I do have an unhealthy obsession with cheesy 80s music!
