Film Wedding Photography

Saxophonists for Wedding Entertainment 

Wedding saxophonists are becoming incredibly popular in 2024. The instrument is perfect for any wedding style, adding a unique touch to classic jazz songs, love ballads, and even modern hits and Ibiza tunes! Whether it’s during the ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast, or evening party, a saxophone’s versatility makes it the perfect form of wedding entertainment.

Weekend Wedding Venues 

Why limit your wedding to a single day when you can extend the joy over an entire weekend? The search for weekend wedding venues is on the rise for 2024 as couples are picking up on American trends. From rehearsal dinners to farewell brunches, weekend weddings give couples and their guests more opportunities to connect and spend quality time together.
