Austin Wedding Saxophonist — Sax By Dennison
Live saxophone for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Caribbean warmth meets contemporary jazz, played for a room that's entirely yours. Dennison Blackett is a Berklee-trained saxophonist with two decades of stage experience, performing for weddings in Austin, Texas — and from Boston ballrooms to Caribbean shorelines.
Live saxophone for every part of your wedding day
Ceremony: prelude music as guests arrive, then your chosen songs for the processional, entrance, and recessional — from classical pieces like Canon in D to a jazz arrangement of the song that's yours. Cocktail hour: jazz and Caribbean soul while your guests mingle. Reception: live sax over the DJ's mix — the modern DJ-plus-saxophone format that turns a great playlist into a performance. Packages start at $1,500, sound system included, and every quote is shaped around your day.
