Raleigh, NC
Wedding & Event Saxophonist in Raleigh, NC
Weddings, corporate and private events in Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill and across North Carolina.
Raleigh and the Triangle are an easy trip from Charlotte for a wedding weekend or a company event. The region mixes university towns, research campuses and historic downtowns, and the events follow suit — garden ceremonies, hotel receptions, conference networking hours, end-of-year team dinners.
Filip performs solo with backing tracks or guitar for ceremonies, cocktail hours and dinners, plays live over your DJ’s set when the dance floor opens, and brings a trio or full band for galas and larger celebrations. Corporate clients get a W-9, a certificate of insurance and invoicing for their AP team on request. Raleigh is outside the 60-mile radius, so travel is quoted individually and included in one clear proposal before anything is signed. A short contract and a 50% deposit hold the date.

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.
