Aden and Simon Music’s wedding packages include the following:
How long will the band play at our wedding?
Depending on the package you choose, the band will play a minimum of three hours of music, generally broken down into 45-minute live music sets. As each wedding is unique, they will consult with you about the best times to play during your day.
Do you cater to song requests?
Of course! If you have the time, you can select every song for your wedding playlist and let the band know in advance. However, most couples just choose a few songs to give the band an indication of their music style.

Hi, it sounds like you might have something specific in mind, but I will do my best to provide an answer for you.
A sax player can add incredible tone to any band, and we can certainly provide an excellent sax player for your wedding. Many songs can be given extra soul and excitement through the use of a sax, but the duration that they play within a song, will depend on the nature of the song chosen. Often sax players take solos within the song, or add extra harmony to various sections.
The length of time you have a sax player at a wedding ultimately depends on how many songs the band has arranged for them to play in. Our sax player is used for probably 50% of our band songs. The songs they play can be spread throughout the night. Sax can inject incredible energy into a dance song, so they may be involved towards the dance section of the night in particular. Having said this there are some incredible sax parts in quieter songs such as Baker Street by Gerry Raffety, or Careless Whisper by George Michael. Great sax players can also perform by themselves, but this is not particularly common.
Perhaps if you could please describe how you envisage the sax player being used at the wedding, we can provide more specific advice. If it is for a specific song(s) that you want played we can certainly provide better advice.
Kind regards
Simon
