Your Wedding - The Most Beautiful Day of your Life....
 
 
Music makes the moment memorable.... and when you hear that song again you remember those special moments.
 
Thinking of choosing between a Live Band and a DJ?   We provide both in one package and it is our most popular option brides choose.
 
We perform live classy music styles like Frank Sinatra and Michael Buble to create a unique and elegant moment for your event.  Elegant songs like "Unforgettable", "Someday My Prince Will Come", "The Way You Look Tonight" and many other timeless songs make your princess day come alive with live music.
 
Making this wedding experience memorable and unique is often a priority with wedding couples. Elegant Jazz adds an exceptional sound of soft romantic saxophone with a great groove from a jazz band during cocktails and dinner.

Add elegance to your event with the Jazz Band performing classic romantic jazz love songs for your formal dances making the event very special.

Cocktail Sax Jazz Band performs weddings in a fabulous way with a outstanding set of classic love songs and a great smooth jazz sound that keeps people enjoying themselves and the music.
 
 
Some special times to use jazz music to touch the soul are:
 
Rehearsal Dinner - add elegance to this event during the cocktails and dinner with live cocktail music performed by Cocktail Sax Jazz Band.
 
Pre-Ceremony - before the ceremony starts is the time when guest are arriving and the mood for the event is set.   Start the mood and environment with romantic love songs as a prelude to your special event.
 
The Ceremony - during the ceremony we can add the unique feel of live music and the sultry saxophone to bring the best romatic love songs to the moment.   We are hired for "Ceremony" music in mostly unique wedding situations.
 
The Reception - the reception is the most popular time we are hired to perform timeless classic romance songs from the Frank Sinatra era.  Live classic music adds an elegance not found with other bands or a DJ.
    The Welcome and Cocktails
    The Dinner
    The Formal Dances (bride/groom, etc)
    Party Dance
 
 
If you want to add a male or female vocalist to the band, we have several elegant options to help make this unique and special.
 
Music can wisk away your heart and make time stand still… enabling you to cherish the moments and make them last forever.

Music adds elegance and enhances the mood for your event, can also allow you to make special moments for special people.

What people say about Cocktail Sax and Weddings:
 
"Thank you for being such a joy to work with!!!!!! We loved your attention to detail and your help with planning the evening's  music. You are amazing!!
 
My father, who really isn't a "music person" remarked how much he enjoyed your band and the variety of music that was played. Everyone had a great time!!! Thank you for being there for us. Blessings on your summer."
 
Michelle Harrell (Mother of the Bride)
 
"We had a great time and you guys were simply amazing at making it all play out like we wanted it.  We received so many complements about your band and we couldn't have been more satisfied with the way you orchestrated the event.  Thanks again for being so accomodating and for setting the tone to a perfect night!"
 
Scott & Mandy Evans (Bride and Groom)
 
"Just a quick email to thank you once again for the wonderful evening of music at our reception.  Dave and I both agree that the music was the best part.  If you ever need a reference, don't hesitate to use us.  You were so gracious to the little kids, especially the Granddaughters.  They had a ball!  It was perfect in every respect."
 
Diane and Dave Ritchie (Bride and Groom)
 
"The event was more than amazing and I owe much of that to the ambiance Cocktail Sax created.  There was a swanky and loving vibe in the room that I've never experienced and owe to the lighting, live music (and deejay), fountain square, and great guests.   Thank you for everything.
 
Andrea and Matt Kleymeyer (Bride and Groom)
 
"Cocktail Sax was the most memorable and simplest (ie/ stree free) part of our wedding.   From complete flexibility with the music and the timing of our events to the last minute changes and an attitude of willingness, they were the best.   We didn't have a dance floor set up but they were so good that people just started dancing... we had so many compliments about the music.   The sound was absolutely clear and phenomenal and even other musicians we had playing commented about how classy Cocktail Sax was.   I would highly recommend this group and their pricing is by far the most competitive;   what a joy and an honor to have had them at our wedding!"
 
Kerry and Sean Klemme (Bride and Groom)
 
"Thanks for the nice music on Saturday evening - we were very happy with everything and would recommend you for future events."
 
Michelle Griffith (Mother of the Groom)
 
"Last Saturday's wedding went great!  I loved having you guys during cocktail hour - especially since we went 15 minutes longer than planned.   I know the bride and groom and both families were just thrilled with everything!"
 
Amanda Coffey - Wedding Event Planner - Conrad Hotel
 
"Katie and I were both so happy with Cocktail Sax Jazz Band.  Not only did we get a great DJ and a band, we also got a coordinator who helped us plan all the events of the evening.  The lighting was an especially nice touch - using lights that matched our wedding colors really set the atmosphere.   It also showed that you put a lot of thought into making our reception a special night.   Our guests were impressed and we had a great time!   Thanks!"
 
Michael and Katie Thurston (Bride & Groom)
 
"Thank you so much!  All I've heard about since we've returned from the honeymoon was how great the reception was with such an amazing band! 
 
As far as how you did, I can't say anything bad.  You guys were very flexible.  With everyone turning to me when something wasn't going right it was nice that I knew you could handle anything.
 
The music was great and exactly what was needed.   Thank you again!"
 
Meghan and Tyler Couchman (Bride & Groom)

Steve & Abby Gartland (Bride & Groom)
 
"Cocktail Sax Band was an easy choice for my ceremony and cocktail hour music.  Paul was extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with.  I had an "unforgettable" theme to my wedding and Paul was able to work that into both my ceremony and cocktail hour music.  I wanted my music to be unique and different and Cocktail Sax Band was able to accommodate every request that I made.  They far exceeded my expectations with their versatility and talent.  
 
Thank you for your professionalism it certainly makes a huge difference to work with someone that you can have confidence in.  You helped make my wedding and event to remember!
 
Thank you!"
Jen & Troy  (Bride & Groom)
