What Tom plays
Music throughout your day
Most couples book Tom for the whole day. He arrives early, sets up quickly and quietly, and adapts the music as the day goes on.
Drinks reception
Music that lets people talk
Acoustic pop covers, jazz standards, bossa nova, Motown, chilled Ibiza Classics or a Cafe del Mar vibe, played at conversation level while photos happen and glasses are refilled. Tom can then play you into the wedding breakfast with your chosen song.
Wedding breakfast
Music around the courses
Tom works around the courses at conversation level, so guests can talk across the table. He steps back for the speeches, with background music played between sets to maintain the atmosphere.
Party
Party with Ibiza sax over your DJ
Tom plays live on top of the DJ set or his own tracks. He can come out on the floor with your guests and really get your party started with a bang!.

It was an absolute privilege to have Tom play for us and our guests, and just enhanced our whole wedding day. He is a phenomenon on the saxophone and was excellent. Guests were wowed by the experience and all highly rated him.
Matt James
Tom was just perfect! I didn’t even notice him setting up and he kept our guests on the dance floor all night long! He created the perfect vibe for our wedding reception and the music was suited to all!
Olivia Trant
So pleased we booked Tom for the drinks reception on our wedding day. His playlist suited our day perfectly. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tom to others. Thank you!
Emma Worst
We had a special request for an entrance song which was played perfectly giving us a memory to last for a lifetime. Honestly we couldn’t have been happier. All of our guests were entertained and said how fantastic he was.
David and Hayley
It’s simple, Tom is the best. My husband and I had a destination wedding in France during a heatwave. Tom joined us and gave everyone a fantastic performance at several points in the day, even when it was approaching 40 degrees.
Jaimee BM
Absolutely perfect in every way; performing in the open air with a wide range of very well-judged music that resonated with all our guests.
Verity Thompson
We hired Tom for the beginning of our wedding party… and we were not disappointed! He massively added to the party atmosphere we wanted! If you are thinking of booking Tom… do it! Absolutely made our evening!
Danielle Bodimeade
Not sure where to start. Instant words that come to mind. Awesome, brilliant, cracking, dynamic, you get the picture. I could probably find words that go all through the alphabet.

Tom played at our daughters wedding and helped make her day even more special! He is a very fine musician and went down very well as we sank a G&T in the sunshine!
