I live and work in Adelaide, South Australia so most of my work is done in the city and surrounding areas. We are so lucky to have the Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale, Barossa and other regions close by! If your event is further afield, even interstate or overseas, don’t hesitate to enquire. I love a “destination” event!

Fill out the contact form, it’s at the bottom of every page on the website. The more information you provide the better. From there I’ll be in touch as quickly as I can (usually within 48 hours). Please make sure you check your spam folder, Gmail is particularly bad for this!

There will be a link to book a meeting with me in the email I send. Or you can just give me a call for any quick questions.

For weddings, on average bookings are made about 12 months in advance but the most popular dates - October, November and March - are often booked up to 18 months out. Corporate and Private Events usually have a 1-6 month lead time.

However, there is always the chance there is a gap in my calendar so even if your event is next week, send me an enquiry. If I’m not free I can often help with a recommendation.

Yes, in fact I much prefer to meet with clients before securing a booking. For weddings and private parties this is particularly important as I always tailor the music specifically for you. In person and video meetings are a great way to get to know each other. It’s important to know if I’m the right person for you too!

If we can’t meet, a quick phone call is always available to answer and questions you might have.

Yes, I have a custom aluminium and wood DJ console with 2x vinyl turntables and my DJ mixer. For most events I supply speakers and my regular system is specifically designed to cater for events up to 150 people including speakers, wireless microphones and lighting. I also have extra speakers to cater for larger events between 200-300 people.

There are exceptions to this, for example corporate events at a venue such as the Adelaide Convention Centre will usually have me supply the DJ console and I plug into their in-house A/V system.

The best way to think about it is that I’m a saxophonist who is also a DJ and have been doing both together for 20 years. (Playing saxophone for 30+ years!) I’ll play the saxophone at the best time for YOUR event. Sometimes this means holding off until the dance floor is pumping and other times building the vibe early while your guests are mingling or having dinner. I strongly feel that the saxophone should ADD to the performance and don’t just blast away until  it becomes part of the background. Tasteful selection and timing are key to getting the most impact out of having the saxophone as part of your event.

This can be a tricky one to give a straight answer to but here goes: songs with saxophone already in them can work (eg. Jubel, Never Tear Us Apart) but sometimes it doesn’t add much to the song to just play along with the sax that’s already there. Also songs that have lots of busy horn parts in them (Earth Wind & Fire etc) don’t always work well. On the other hand, songs that have a bit more space in them can really benefit from the addition of saxophone. Think modern dance tracks and party classics that have a bit of space where I can play along with, and around, the singer.

An extra thought, a lot of the best saxophone moments come from client requests to play on songs that I would never have thought of myself. So don’t be shy to ask the question and make suggestions!

Of course you can, in fact I find clients that put thought into what music they want for their event early get the best results. You may want to let me know whether you’re happy for your guests to request songs though!

I have extensive experience as an MC, performing this role at many events over the years. For weddings and private events this is included as part of your package while being MC for corporate events will be quoted separately.

A wedding booking is a full day commitment, well actually it’s more than that with all the preparation I do.

Beforehand there are usually two meetings with the client, playlist and song preparation as well as creating a detailed run-sheet to ensure everything runs smoothly on the day.

On the day, I’ll arrive 90 minutes before your guests to make sure everything is perfect and ready to go from start to finish.

All equipment for canapés / cocktail hour, reception, speeches, background music, dance floor, lighting is included plus of course the all important DJ + Sax set! If you need me to MC I’m more than happy to do so and this is also included in the package price. Basically there are no hidden extras.

I understand that some people think “just because it’s a wedding everyone jacks up their prices!” but as someone who’s worked in the industry for a long time, that is far from the truth. I pride myself in providing the highest level of service and professionalism on your wedding day and put in a great deal of time and effort to make your day the best it can be. The vast majority of suppliers I work with in the industry also follow this ethos. (I’m happy to provide recommendations for excellent Celebrants, Photographers…)

Weddings are usually $3000-$3500 for the full day package.

Private and Corporate events start at around $1700 with most clients spending $1900-$2500.

Most of there time everything is covered in the original quoted price but there can be exceptions to this which can include:

• Excess travel costs

• Additional equipment requests

• Changes to event plan, duration etc.
