Saxophonist for corporate events

Jovan Pastar plays live saxophone at receptions, launches, summer parties and company Christmas parties, for companies and organisations in Vienna and across Europe. The set follows your programme: background while guests talk, a step back for the speeches, full energy once the floor opens. One person to deal with, from the first message to the last set.

What does a saxophonist play at a corporate event?

Whatever the programme needs at that point of the evening. Live saxophone over the DJ's or the venue's music: quiet enough to talk over at the reception, silent for the speeches, full energy once the tables clear.

Which corporate events is he booked for?

Mostly the evenings a company hosts people: its clients, its partners, its own team.

  • Receptions and networking

    Arrival drinks, get-togethers and client evenings, where the music keeps the room warm without interrupting it.

  • Launches and openings

    The evening a new product, store or office is shown to the people who matter.

  • Summer parties

    Terraces, courtyards and rooftops, from sunset into the party.

  • Company and team parties

    The evening a company celebrates itself: a milestone, a good year, the whole team on one floor.

Which format for a corporate event?

The venue or your agency already has a DJ? Book sax over the set. Nothing booked for music yet? Book sax and DJ as one act, sound included. Sax and DJ compares the two.

Sax over your DJ's set

You have the DJ. He plays live over the set as it builds. The easiest thing to add to a night that is already planned.

The full act

Sax and DJ, one booking

One act, one booking, one sound check. The set is built and played end to end, so nobody has to introduce two suppliers to each other on the day.

Can you book a saxophonist for the company Christmas party?

Yes. A Christmas or end-of-year party is a corporate evening like any other, dinner, a speech and a party, with one difference: every company holds it in the same few weeks.

  • Late November to mid December

    Most company parties fall on a handful of Thursdays and Fridays, so send the date as soon as it is fixed. More on the season: Christmas parties.

  • Dinner first

    Background music while the courses are served, quiet enough for every table to talk.

  • Then the floor

    Live sax over the DJ's set once the tables clear.

  • No DJ booked yet?

    Book sax and DJ as one act: one booking, the sound system included.

Common questions

Can a saxophonist play quietly during a networking reception?

Yes. At a reception the set stays background music you can talk over, and it only builds when the programme moves on to the party. The volume runs through the venue's or the DJ's system, so it is set there.

What happens during the speeches?

The saxophone steps back. Set times are agreed with you beforehand around the programme, speeches and awards included, and adjusted on the night if the schedule moves.

Does the venue need a DJ or a sound system?

A DJ or the venue's own system with a free input is all the saxophone needs. If there is neither, book sax and DJ as one act, which brings the sound.

How far ahead should we book for a Christmas party?

As soon as the date is fixed. Company Christmas and end-of-year parties fall on the same few December evenings, so those dates go first.

Does he play corporate events outside Vienna?

Yes. Vienna is home, and he plays across Austria and abroad, ten countries so far. Say where the event is, and you get a straight answer on what is possible.

How I work

Planning a company event?

I read every inquiry myself and reply personally, and I stay your one contact from the first message to the last set. Send me the date, the venue and the rough programme, and I fit the sets around it: the reception, the speeches, the dinner and the floor.
