Live music, right in the moment

Christchurch Saxophonists for Weddings & Events

Live saxophone alongside your DJ, from the quieter parts of the day to the point where the dance floor takes over.

Sax and DJ, working together

One celebration, one musical flow

I'm Vito, the founder of Motiv Entertainment. The saxophonists I work with are experienced players who know how to perform with a DJ, not as a separate act. We plan the music together so the night keeps moving naturally.

You can add saxophone to your ceremony, canapés or dinner, then bring it back over the DJ set when everyone's ready to dance. It works just as well for corporate events, balls and private parties.

Tell me what you're planning and I'll help match the right player to your music, timing and date.
