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

“Jake played sax at our ceremony, then backed it up with DJ and sax for the reception. He was the ultimate professional — out of all our vendors, he was the most prompt and efficient with communication. When our venue needed him to set up four hours early, he didn’t hesitate. He even stayed an extra hour at the end of the night. His skill on the sax is unbelievable, and so many guests commented on how good he was. We would highly recommend Jake for any future event.”
— Shar + Jay

“We just wanted to say a massive thank you for everything. The music, lights, fireworks, sax and percussion were all amazing — so much more than we imagined. We had an incredible night thanks to you guys.”
— Adrian + Ruth

Jake was phenomenal on the night and brought a strong vibe. Every guest was raving about both the saxophone during dinner and his DJing in the evening which brought everyone to the dance floor. He announced all the special moments in our day and was a huge part of making it great. During the planning stage he put us completely at ease, always calm and ready with any questions we had. He was an absolute pleasure from start to finish and I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a truly special addition to their day.

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

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.
