Top Saxophone Songs for Weddings

After playing 100s of weddings, here's a compilation of sax songs that always work – ceremony, drinks reception and the dancefloor.

There's nothing quite like the sound of the saxophone – instantly recognisable and able to capture the attention of all your guests. Picking the right songs can be tricky – this is here to help.

Wedding ceremony song ideas

  • Can't Help Falling In Love – Elvis Presley. A timeless crowd-pleaser, perfect for walking down the aisle. The Haley Reinhart version is beautiful for a modern twist.
  • If I Ain't Got You – Alicia Keys. Lovely and romantic. I love performing this for the signing of the register.
  • Marry You – Bruno Mars. A classic. Everyone ends up humming along.
  • I Get to Love You – Ruelle. Delicate, full of meaning – the perfect song to walk down the aisle to.
  • Signed, Sealed, Delivered – Stevie Wonder. Perfect to exit the ceremony as a married couple.

Drinks reception song ideas

  • Isn't She Lovely – Stevie Wonder. Cross-generational appeal.
  • You're Still the One – Shania Twain. A less obvious choice that always lands.
  • Better Half of Me – Tom Walker. Sweet and a little different.
  • Flowers – Miley Cyrus. Yes it's a breakup song, but it's an absolute banger and the melody sounds amazing on sax.
  • Can't Stop the Feeling – Justin Timberlake. Fun, upbeat and great for kids too.

Wedding breakfast saxophone songs

  • A Thousand Years – Christina Perri
  • Everything – Michael Bublé
  • Fly Me to the Moon – Frank Sinatra
  • At Last – Etta James
  • Perfect – Ed Sheeran
