OVERVIEW

Your wedding day is more than a celebration — it’s a story you’ll tell for the rest of your lives. Every moment, every glance, every breath of anticipation deserves to be wrapped in music that feels personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable.

From the soft hush before the aisle walk to the laughter and champagne under golden light, the soundtrack of your day should hold all the emotion you’ve dreamed of. I’m here to shape those moments — to lift them, colour them, and give them a musical heartbeat that feels like you.

Some of my most popular songs are: 

  • You are so beautiful – Joe Cocker
  • At Last – Etta James
  • Can’t help falling in love – Elvis
  • Fly me to the moon – Frank Sinatra
  • What a wonderful world – Louis Armstrong

Why Couples Love Jake

Jake isn’t just a musician — he’s one of the Hunter Valley’s most sought‑after wedding saxophonists, known for creating unforgettable moments through music. Couples describe him as professional, dedicated, and endlessly accommodating, blending live saxophone, orchestral backing tracks, DJ sets, and MC duties into a seamless, one‑of‑a‑kind experience. Whether it’s the emotion of the ceremony or the energy of the dance floor, Jake brings a musical presence that elevates every part of the day.

A Specialist in Wedding Magic

Jake’s signature style — live saxophone layered with cinematic orchestral tracks — creates a sophisticated atmosphere that feels both modern and timeless. His DJ sets carry that same elegance into the night, giving couples a cohesive musical journey from aisle walk to final song.

Deep Hunter Valley Roots

As a familiar face across the Hunter Valley wedding and restaurant scene, Jake understands the rhythm of local venues, the flow of regional weddings, and the unique charm couples come here to experience. He’s considered one of the area’s premier entertainment choices for a reason.

Versatility That Serves Your Day

From romantic ceremony moments to high‑energy reception celebrations, Jake adapts effortlessly. He can perform soulful live saxophone as you walk down the aisle, then transition into DJ and MC roles that keep the night running smoothly and the dance floor alive.

A Repertoire for Every Moment

Jake’s musical range is wide and thoughtful — from tender, emotional ceremony pieces to upbeat party anthems that get guests dancing. Whatever the moment calls for, he knows how to shape it.

 

What Couples Are Saying

Oh my gosh, Jake was INCREDIBLE - I truly adore him and have not a single bad word to say about him or any part of our experience working with him. To start, the communication and availability Jake gave us in the lead up to the wedding was nothing short of perfect. He always responded promptly, kindly and full of expertise. Before even meeting him, I was put to complete ease to trust him with our cocktail hour and dinner. The compliments we received from our friends and guests were all perfect, and had 2 different guests ask me to send them his email for a 60th and a wedding. One the day (which was last night) - perfection. Oh my goodness, Jake is a great man, and a great sax player. I actually couldn’t recommend him highly enough, and truly will be booking him for any big celebrations in the future.

September 2026

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and saxophonist for our wedding! From start to finish, he was incredibly easy to deal with, professional, responsive, and made the whole process stress-free. On the day, he absolutely nailed it. He really knew how to read the room and adjust the music to keep the energy exactly where it needed to be. Whether it was creating the perfect atmosphere during the earlier part of the evening or getting everyone on the dance floor later on, he kept the vibes flowing all night. The combination of DJ and live saxophone was fantastic and added something really special to the celebration. Our guests had an amazing time and we received so many compliments about the music and entertainment. Everyone had fun, and the atmosphere was incredible. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional entertainer who knows exactly how to keep a crowd engaged and having a great time! 🎷🎶💃🕺

Thank you both so much for this. It was a pleasure. Wishing you all the best together. Jake.

Jake was simply amazing. We had him booked for live saxophone and DJ - he excelled at both. He was relaxed, conscientious, easy to communicate with and a skilled musician. Many of our guests pulled us aside to tell us how good the music had been, and he had almost our entire guest list on their feet and dancing to finish the evening. We highly recommend Jake to other couples.

February 2026

We had Jake as our MC, DJ and Saxophone player for our wedding reception. He was absolutely brilliant, he met with us in person prior to talk over what we wanted, and had catch up calls and emails leading to the big day. On the night he was absolutely amazing. I will be forever grateful that he helped make my special day absolutely perfect. Thanks Jake

Absolutley.

Do you charge more for New Year's Eve weddings?

Wondering if there are surcharges on bands/djs for weddings on special dates like this. We're thinking of a NYE wedding.
