Meet Igor

I have been playing the saxophone on stage for 17 years. Before San Diego, I played at Dubai’s luxurious Bvlgari resort and at top hotels in Tunisia. My saxophone moves easily between genres: pop, jazz, smooth jazz, R&B, house and EDM.

Let my melodies fill your event with sophistication and lift your occasion with the expressive power of live saxophone. So tell me about your date, and let’s start your journey into awe-inspiring music.

In short: I’m Igor Pererodov, a live event saxophonist based in North County San Diego. I play weddings, cocktail hours, corporate events and private parties across San Diego County and up to Temecula. Wedding packages run from $500 for one hour to $1,300 for about four hours; other events are $400 for the first hour. At most weddings I plug straight into the DJ’s setup, my wireless sound is included, and every performance is insured, with a COI for your venue. Call or text (760) 560-7631.

Questions couples ask

Don’t see yours? Message me on Instagram.

How much does a sax player cost for a wedding in San Diego?

My wedding packages run from $500 for one hour to $1,300 for about four hours of full-day coverage, with professional wireless sound included. A travel fee may apply outside San Diego County. See the packages, or send me your date and city for an exact price the same day.

How much for a corporate event or a birthday party?

Events other than weddings are booked by the hour: $400 for the first hour, $300 for the second and $200 for each hour after that. If you need speakers, I bring my own: $150 for one, $250 for two. See hourly prices

Can you play with our DJ?

Yes. Live sax over a DJ set is one of my favourite formats: your DJ runs the music, and I play on top of the house, EDM and pop tracks. Put us in touch before the day, and we will plan the moments together. On the dance floor it is part of my Ultimate package.

Do you bring your own sound?

A professional wireless sound system is included. In 90% of weddings I connect directly to your DJ’s setup (Plug & Play, zero stress for you). If your location doesn’t have a sound system, I can bring my own professional speakers: $150 for one, $250 for two.

Are you insured?

Yes. Every performance is fully insured, and I provide a certificate of insurance (COI) for your venue.

What music do you play?

Pop, jazz, smooth jazz, R&B, house and EDM. Send me your must-play songs, the aisle song or the first dance, and I will prepare them for your day.

Which areas do you cover?

San Diego and all of North County, including Carlsbad, Oceanside, Encinitas, San Marcos, Escondido, Del Mar and La Jolla, plus Temecula. Further away? Ask me.
