Chris & Alice's Wedding - Alex Rimell Sax

"We had LOADS of compliments from the guests and some great videos of children & adults dancing away with Alex."

There’s something so special about a summer wedding by the sea, and Chris & Alice’s day at Thorpeness Country Club was exactly that. Warm, joyful, relaxed and full of energy from start to finish. This was my second time doing a Suffolk wedding at this stunning venue, and it was a real pleasure to be back, especially for such a brilliant couple.

Chris & Alice chose my Sax/DJ Hybrid Set, perfect for couples who want live sax energy with the flexibility and flow of a DJ-style soundtrack throughout the evening.

Kicking Off the Evening – 7:00pm

We started with their chosen first dance, “One Life” by James Bay, played through my speakers no sax, just a beautiful, intimate moment.

Then it was party time.

The couple had asked for a lively 30-minute set straight after the first dance so their photographers and videographers could capture everyone on the dancefloor before they slipped away for the evening. And it worked perfectly.

The opening set featured:

This Will Be – Natalie Cole
Love Story – Taylor Swift
Jubel – Klingande
Rhythm of the Night – Corona
Shut Up and Dance – Walk the Moon
You’ve Got the Love – Florence + The Machine

Balcony Sunset Vibes – 7:30pm to 9:00pm

As Chris & Alice disappeared for golden-hour photos (and a bit of cake cutting!), we eased into a more laid-back mood.
With the summer heat still lingering, we moved the music outside with some mellow sax from the balcony overlooking the beach, with a warm mix of 70s/80s classics and chilled tunes.

A quick pizza break was very much appreciated at this point!

Bringing the Party Back – After 9:00pm

As the evening cooled down and guests returned indoors, it was time to lift the energy again.

Boney M’s “Rasputin” and ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” were top of their list both absolute crowd-pleasers, and perfect for bringing everyone back onto the dancefloor for the second wave of celebrations.
