Artists / Justine Sax
Justine Sax
Saxophonist
Chilled and jazzy through the ceremony and the cocktail hour, then out onto the dancefloor with the DJ, playing among your guests rather than at them.
Who Justine is
Justine is based in Malta and originally from Poland. She has worked with Malta DJ Events for over three years, which started as a simple collaboration at a single function and grew from there into a regular part of what we do.
She plays across the island and travels around Europe for destination weddings. For anything outside Malta there is a travel fee, which we include in the quote up front rather than adding later.
What she plays
The music before the first dance and the music after it are two completely different things, and that is the point of booking her.
Through the ceremony, the cocktail hour and dinner the sound is chilled and jazzy, bossa nova and lounge, sitting under the conversation rather than competing with it. It gives the earlier part of the day a live, unhurried feel.
After the first dance, or any time she is playing alongside the DJ, it turns upbeat. Same saxophone, completely different energy, live over the set the DJ is already running.
How the night works
01
Ceremony and cocktail hour
Justine plays the chilled, jazzy end of her repertoire through the ceremony and drinks, either alongside the DJ or on her own with backing tracks.
02
Through dinner, among the guests
Her saxophone microphone is wireless, so she is not tied to a stage. During dinner she moves around the tables and plays to your guests where they are sitting.
03
The bridal entrance
Justine can play the entrance as part of the bridal party rather than from the side of the room, which makes an entrance out of what is otherwise a walk.
04
The first dance
We ask you well in advance which song you have chosen. If it is one she can join musically with a saxophone line, she will happily play over it.
05
Live with the DJ
After the first dance she plays upbeat, live over the DJ set. This is the part most couples book her for.
06
Out on the floor
If the room is with her, she leaves the stage and plays out among the dancing. Guests film it, and it turns a performance into something they were part of.
Good to know
The practical side, so you know what you are booking.
Based in Malta
Originally from Poland, based in Malta and playing across the island all season.
Travels for destination weddings
Comfortable working around Europe. A travel fee applies for anything outside Malta and is quoted up front.
Brings her own kit
Justine has her own saxophone and wireless microphone. Everything else comes from us.
Three years with us
Working with Malta DJ Events for over three years, so the handover with the DJ is rehearsed, not improvised.
Wireless, so she can move
No cable and no fixed stage position, which is what makes the dinner and dancefloor moments possible.
Book early
Justine is in high demand and her calendar fills up quickly. Once you have your date and venue, talk to us.
Venues she plays
Justine plays across the Maltese venues and we have long standing relationships with them, which makes the setup on the day straightforward.
Where Justine plays
Common questions
Can she play our first dance?
Often, yes. Tell us the song well in advance. If it is one she can join musically with a saxophone line, she will play over it live.
Does she play during dinner?
Yes, and it is one of the nicest moments of the day. Her microphone is wireless, so she moves around the tables and plays to your guests rather than at them from a stage.
Does she play on her own or with the DJ?
Both. She plays alongside the DJ, or on her own with backing tracks for the ceremony and cocktail hour.
Will she come to our venue abroad?
Yes. Justine travels around Europe for destination weddings. A travel fee applies for anything outside Malta and we include it in the quote up front.
What does she actually play?
Chilled, jazzy, bossa nova and lounge for the ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner, then upbeat live over the DJ set after the first dance.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as possible. Justine is in high demand and her calendar fills quickly. Sort your date and venue, then talk to us so we can be specific about the space.
