EVERYTHING YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW BEFORE WE CREATE SOMETHING TOGETHER.

I am based in Hamburg, Germany, and I am available for events throughout Germany, Europe and internationally.

For events outside my local area, travel and, if necessary, accommodation costs are included separately in the quotation. Please send me the venue address when making an enquiry so that I can calculate everything clearly.

The price depends on the date, location, performance duration, event format and technical requirements.

A short local performance will usually require a different setup from a full evening programme or an international corporate event. Send me your event date, venue, approximate schedule and preferred format, and I will prepare a clear individual quotation.

The quotation normally includes the agreed performance, preparation, communication with you or your event planner, repertoire planning and coordination with the DJ, venue or technical team.

Travel, accommodation, additional rehearsals, special technical requirements and extended waiting times will be listed separately when applicable. You will always know what is included before confirming the booking.

Please send the following information:

- Event date

- Venue and city

- Type of event

- Approximate number of guests

- Preferred performance time

- Desired duration or number of sets

- Whether a DJ or live band will be present

- Available sound equipment

- Any special songs or programme ideas

If some details are not yet confirmed, that is not a problem. I can help you choose the right performance format.

For weddings, corporate events and popular weekend dates, booking several months in advance is recommended.

However, last-minute bookings are sometimes possible. Contact me even if your event is coming up soon, and I will check my availability.

The booking is confirmed after the event details have been agreed, the contract has been signed and the required deposit has been received.

This protects both sides and ensures that the date is reserved exclusively for your event.

Yes. Professional bookings can be confirmed with a written contract, and an invoice can be provided for private clients, companies and event agencies.

If your company has specific invoicing or supplier requirements, please mention them during the booking process.

Send me your event date, location and a short description of your plans using the contact form, email or WhatsApp.

I will check availability, recommend a suitable format and send you a quotation. Once the agreement is signed and the deposit has been received, your date is confirmed.

Yes. I perform at intimate private celebrations as well as large weddings, corporate events, gala dinners, conferences and public events.

The performance format, sound requirements and programme are adapted to the size of the venue, the number of guests and the atmosphere you would like to create.

I am available for weddings, corporate events, private parties, gala dinners, receptions, conferences, product launches, award ceremonies, birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions.

I can provide relaxed background music, a stylish welcome performance or an energetic saxophone show together with a DJ.

The duration depends on the event and the atmosphere you would like to create.

Possible formats include one short highlight performance, several sets distributed throughout the event, background music during a reception or dinner, or energetic appearances together with a DJ during the party.

I will be happy to recommend a suitable format after learning more about your schedule.

Yes. Several shorter sets are often more effective than one long continuous performance, especially during receptions, dinners and parties.

The sets can be scheduled around important moments such as the arrival of guests, speeches, dinner service, a product presentation, the first dance or the opening of the dance floor.

Yes. You do not need to plan all the musical details yourself.

Tell me about the event, venue, number of guests and the atmosphere you want to create. I can then suggest an appropriate performance duration, number of sets, musical direction and technical setup.

Yes. Performing live saxophone with a DJ is one of the most popular formats for weddings, corporate events and parties.

Before the event, I can coordinate the music, timing and technical setup directly with the DJ. During the performance, I improvise live over selected tracks and adapt to the energy of the guests and the dance floor.

I concentrate on the live saxophone performance, but I regularly work with a small group of trusted professional DJs.

We know each other’s working style, communicate easily and understand how to combine a DJ set with live saxophone. If you do not already have a DJ, I can recommend someone suitable for your event and introduce you directly.

Recommended DJs:

- [DJ Name 1 – link to website or Instagram]

- [DJ Name 2 – link to website or Instagram]

Availability and pricing are agreed directly with the DJ unless a combined package has been arranged.

Of course. I can work with your own DJ, the venue’s resident DJ or a DJ booked by your event agency.

It is helpful to exchange contact details before the event so that we can discuss the music, mixer connections, soundcheck and timing. Good communication between the musicians and technical team makes the performance much smoother.

Not always. A DJ is particularly useful for an energetic party performance, but other formats are also possible.

Depending on the event, I can perform with professionally prepared backing tracks, alongside a live band or in a more intimate acoustic setting. I will recommend the most suitable option for your venue and programme.

I do not provide a complete sound system or full event production equipment.

Many venues, DJs and event agencies already have suitable professional equipment. If sound equipment is not available, I work with reliable sound technicians and event technology providers whom I can recommend.

Recommended technical partner:

- [Name of Sound Technician or Event Technology Company – link]

The equipment is normally booked directly with the provider unless another arrangement has been agreed.

The exact requirements depend on the size of the venue, number of guests and performance format.

For an amplified saxophone performance, the setup may include a suitable microphone, professional PA system, mixer input and, for larger stages, a monitor. If I perform with a DJ, the saxophone signal must be correctly connected to the DJ or venue sound system.

I can send a simple technical rider to the venue, DJ or production company before the event.

That is usually the easiest solution. Please ask the venue for a description of the available equipment and the contact details of the responsible technician.

I can communicate directly with the venue or technician to confirm whether the existing system is suitable and whether any additional equipment is needed.

Yes. I work with trusted professionals who can provide sound equipment and technical support for both small private events and larger productions.

After receiving the event details, I can recommend the most suitable contact. You can then discuss availability, equipment and pricing directly with the provider.

A short acoustic performance may be possible in a small and quiet indoor setting.

For receptions, parties, outdoor events or rooms with many guests, professional amplification is strongly recommended. It allows the saxophone to sound clear and balanced without being too loud for guests nearby.

A short soundcheck is recommended whenever amplification, a DJ, a live band or a larger stage is involved.

For complex corporate events and large productions, the soundcheck should be included in the official schedule. For smaller events, a brief technical check before guests arrive is often sufficient.

Setup time depends on the technical situation.

If the venue and sound system are already prepared, the setup can be relatively quick. Larger events, unfamiliar equipment or performances with a DJ or live band may require more time and a scheduled soundcheck.

Please make sure that access to the performance area is available before the agreed start time.

My repertoire can include lounge, pop, soul, jazz, house, dance, disco and well-known international songs.

The musical direction is adapted to the event. A wedding reception may begin with elegant and relaxed music, while a corporate party or evening celebration may require a more energetic performance.

Yes. You are welcome to share your favourite songs, preferred artists and musical styles.

I will use your ideas to create a programme that suits the occasion. I can also advise which songs work especially well with live saxophone and which are better suited to the DJ or another part of the event.

In many cases, yes. A special song can be prepared for a wedding ceremony, first dance, entrance, anniversary or important corporate moment.

Please send the exact song title and version as early as possible. I will confirm whether it can be arranged effectively for saxophone and whether additional preparation or rehearsal is required.

Yes. Live saxophone can accompany the entrance, signing of the documents, a special moment during the ceremony or the couple’s exit.

Because every ceremony has a different structure, the exact songs and cues should be agreed in advance with the couple, wedding planner or celebrant.

Yes. A saxophone performance can create an elegant atmosphere while guests arrive, enjoy drinks or have dinner.

For these parts of the event, the volume and repertoire are carefully controlled so that guests can still speak comfortably. The performance can later become more energetic when the party begins.

Yes. I can perform the selected first-dance song live, accompany the original track or join the DJ during the transition from the first dance to the party.

The exact version, timing and ending should be agreed in advance so that the DJ, photographer, videographer and wedding planner know what to expect.

Yes. I am comfortable working directly with companies, event agencies, wedding planners, venues and production teams.

I can follow a detailed schedule, provide the necessary booking documents, coordinate with technical staff and adapt the performance to the brand, audience and purpose of the event.

Yes. Large events require more technical preparation, but the performance itself can be adapted to large audiences and professional stages.

For these bookings, I usually coordinate with the production manager or technical team regarding the stage, sound system, monitoring, soundcheck, access times and performance cues.

The required space depends on the performance format.

A mobile saxophone performance among the guests requires very little fixed space. A stage performance with a DJ, band or special production setup requires a safe and clearly defined performance area.

For larger events, please send the stage plan or technical contact in advance.

Yes. I can adapt my outfit to the style of the event, including formal, black tie, elegant, modern or party settings.

If your company has a specific brand concept, colour scheme or dress requirement, please send the relevant information in advance.

Yes. After the booking is confirmed, I can communicate directly with the responsible contact person.

For a smooth event, it is helpful to have one main contact for the schedule and one technical contact for sound and stage questions.

Yes, if the venue, sound setup and event format allow it.

A mobile performance can create a strong connection with the audience during receptions and parties. However, enough safe space must be available, and cables, stairs, serving staff and other obstacles should be considered.

Yes, outdoor performances are possible when suitable conditions are provided.

The performance area and all electrical equipment must be protected from rain, direct water exposure and extreme weather. Strong wind, low temperatures or excessive heat can also affect the instrument and technical equipment.

A covered alternative or indoor backup plan is strongly recommended.

Small schedule changes are common at events, and I will always try to remain flexible.

Significant delays or extended waiting times may affect later commitments and can result in additional costs. If you expect a flexible schedule, please mention this during the booking process so that enough time can be reserved.

An extension may be possible if there are no later bookings and the venue schedule allows it.

Additional performance time must be agreed before it begins and may be charged separately. For events that may continue longer, it is better to include an optional extension in the original agreement.

The conditions for postponement and cancellation are explained in the booking agreement.

Whenever possible, I will try to move the booking to a new available date. However, deposits, travel reservations and preparation costs may be subject to the agreed cancellation terms.

Reliability is extremely important, and every reasonable effort will be made to perform as agreed.

In the rare case of a serious illness or unavoidable emergency, I will inform you immediately and, where possible, help find a suitable professional replacement. The exact conditions are included in the booking agreement.

Before the final confirmation, I usually need:

- The final venue address

- Arrival and access instructions

- Parking or loading information

- The event schedule

- Performance and soundcheck times

- Contact details for the organiser

- Contact details for the DJ or technician

- Information about available sound equipment

- Special songs and important cues

- Dress code

- Any confidentiality or photography restrictions

Having these details in advance helps avoid unnecessary questions on the day of the event.

Yes, guests and the official photo or video team may normally record the performance.

For professional promotional productions, commercial usage or events with special confidentiality requirements, usage rights should be discussed in advance. If you do not want any images from your event to be published, please let me know.

Yes. Private and corporate events can be treated confidentially.

If photography, social media publication or disclosure of the client’s name is restricted, please communicate this before the event. An NDA can also be discussed when required by the client or agency.
