For reception coverage, yes. Your DJ remains in control of the overall music program, while I integrate as the featured live sax artist for entrances, first dances, dinner, and the dance floor.

Ceremony and cocktail-hour music + audio can be handled separately through my ceremony and cocktail coverage options.

Yes. Ant Smith Music is based in Los Angeles and available throughout California and beyond. Travel is included within 30 miles of Studio City, with regional and destination travel quoted based on location and logistics. For fly dates, required transportation, lodging, ground travel, and equipment logistics are outlined upfront in your proposal.

Absolutely—that's the model.

Before the wedding, I coordinate directly with your DJ on audio connection, soundcheck, levels, music direction, cue points, transitions, and any featured moments we're building together.

No. Ant Smith Music is booked directly by you.

Once booked, I coordinate with your DJ, planner, venue, and other relevant vendors so everyone is working from the same technical and musical plan.

Yes. Dedicated ceremony and cocktail-hour audio options are available, including music playback, sound systems, wireless ceremony microphones, and live saxophone.

Yes—for select private and corporate events.

For birthdays, mixers, celebrations, corporate functions, and other private events, I can provide full DJ + live sax production along with a professional sound system.

For weddings, my primary model is live saxophone integrated with your hired reception DJ.

Absolutely. We'll identify your musical direction, priority songs, must-plays, and anything you'd prefer to avoid during the planning process. Specific spotlight moments can also be custom-arranged for live saxophone.

Not usually. Preparation gives us the structure, but the performance remains responsive to the room.

During reception dancing in particular, I work with your DJ's selections and respond to the energy in real time rather than forcing the night through a predetermined saxophone set list.

Usually very little. I provide my own instrument, wireless system, effects, and necessary cabling. Your DJ typically only needs to provide an available input into their mixer or sound system.

I confirm the exact connection and soundcheck plan directly with them before your event.

Yes. Ant Smith Music carries commercial liability insurance and can provide your venue with a Certificate of Insurance when required.
