Signature approach
I don't come to play a set. I come to design a moment.
Welcome drinks in a lounge tone. First dance with live saxophone. Late-night party among the guests, on chairs, on the dance floor. Everything orchestrated to look great on video and have guests talking about it.
Energy & Elegance
Glam vibes when it needs to be classy. Madness when it needs to explode.
House, R'n'B, classics, sax improvisations over the DJ. From refined champagne atmosphere to pure afterparty chaos after the cake. No empty dance floor.

What the Live Sax + DJ Experience sounds like

Real footage – audience reactions, energy, non-stop dancing. This is what you're actually buying when you book saxophone for your event.

Play performance
Late-night energy set: sax among the guests, cameras, confetti, madness.

Everything couples and organizers ask most

Quick answers to the most frequent questions. If your question isn't here – just reach out directly.

How much does a wedding saxophonist in Croatia cost? +

Prices start from €600 for Solo Sax, €1,400 for Sax + DJ, €1,800 for the Cocktail + Party package and €2,200 for the Premium package with an additional musician. Final price depends on location, duration and specific requirements.

Do you travel outside Croatia – Italy, Greece, rest of Europe? +

Yes. I regularly play destination weddings and events across Europe (Italy, France, Greece, UK, Germany, Austria, Slovenia) and worldwide. Travel and accommodation are agreed separately depending on the destination.

How far in advance should I book? +

Weekends during the season (May – October) are typically booked 6-12 months ahead. For off-season dates 2-3 months is usually enough, but it pays to reach out as soon as you set the date – popular slots fill quickly.

Do you bring your own equipment (sound, lighting)? +

Yes, I arrive with a complete professional setup: my own sound system, microphones, mixer and basic lighting for the Sax + DJ packages. For larger venues or specific needs, additional technical setup is arranged.

What repertoire do you cover – only jazz or modern hits too? +

The repertoire is broad: lounge and jazz for welcome drinks, smooth ballads and classics for dinner and first dance, then house, R&B, pop and party hits for the dance floor. Everything is tailored to the couple's taste and the atmosphere of the event.

Can you learn a specific song for the first dance? +

Absolutely. Special songs – first dance, couple's entrance, dedicated performances – are prepared in advance to your wishes. Minimum 3 weeks notice before the event is enough.

Can you also play in church or at a civil ceremony? +

Yes, I play at church ceremonies, outdoor weddings and civil ceremonies. For church weddings the repertoire is adapted (classical, sacred and romantic saxophone arrangements).

What does the booking process look like? +

You send an enquiry with the date and location – I respond the same day with a quote. Once agreed, a contract is signed and a deposit (typically 30%) confirms the booking. The balance is settled on the day of the event or as agreed.

Do you offer a DJ and saxophone combination for weddings? +

Yes. Sax + DJ is the most popular combination for weddings because the DJ covers the whole evening while live saxophone joins in during the cocktail hour, first dance or party set. The package is tailored to the venue, schedule and preferred style of music.

Book your date for your event

Available dates are limited, especially weekends. Send an enquiry – I'll get back to you the same day with a quote.
