You can book a DJ together with a live saxophonist or violinist in Singapore. The musician plays the moments that matter, such as the ceremony, the cocktail hour or a peak set on the dance floor, and the DJ plays the rest of the night. It adds a live element without the cost and stage space of a full band.
Price: a wedding package with a DJ and a saxophonist or violinist for key segments, 5 to 7 hours with full AV, usually costs SGD 2,800 to 3,800. See how much a DJ costs in Singapore.
Two ways to use a live musician
Hand over. The saxophonist or violinist plays the ceremony or the cocktail hour, then hands over to the DJ for dinner and dancing. This is the usual pattern at a hotel wedding. A violinist or a string duo suits the march-in and the vows. A saxophone suits the cocktail hour with jazz, bossa nova or pop covers.
Play together. The saxophonist plays live over the DJ's beats on the dance floor. A short live sax set over house or pop at the peak of the night lifts the room. It suits rooftop events, high-end private parties, launches and wedding after-parties.
Saxophone or violin
Choose the saxophone for warmth and a dance floor feel: jazz and blues, bossa nova, pop and R&B, and house. Choose the violin for a classic or elegant moment: an acoustic violin for a small room, or an electric violin with amplification for a ballroom or an outdoor stage. An electric violinist also works well at a launch or a party. Both male and female musicians are available.
How the night runs
The DJ and the musician agree the cues in advance: which songs are played live, when the musician comes in and when the DJ takes over. Both arrive early for the sound check. Give both of them the run sheet and the venue's music cut-off.
