Asheville, NC
Wedding & Event Saxophonist in Asheville, NC
Weddings, corporate and private events in Asheville, Hendersonville, Black Mountain, Weaverville and across North Carolina.
Asheville events tend to happen outside — mountain overlooks, estates, farms and lodges in the Blue Ridge, with a view doing half the work. Live saxophone suits that setting: it carries across an open-air ceremony without a wall of speakers in the view, then moves indoors for cocktail hour and dinner when the light goes.
For outdoor sites the needs are simple and worth confirming early: a 6×6 ft space, one 110V outlet within 25 ft, and 45 minutes to set up. Sound comes either through our production partner’s PA or through your DJ’s system. Solo means saxophone with backing tracks or a guitarist, never unaccompanied; trio and full band are available for receptions that want a bigger room. Attire is black or a light suit, matched to your dress code. Travel from Charlotte is quoted individually.

Questions
Do you work with our DJ?
Yes. I plug into the DJ’s mixer (one free XLR input, plus an aux input for backing tracks) and play live over their set. I ask whether a sound engineer will be on site.
How far do you travel?
Anywhere. Within 60 miles of Charlotte is included; beyond that, travel is quoted. I’ve played in 20+ states, including Alaska.
How do we book?
A short contract and a 50% deposit hold the date. The balance is due before the event day.
