Hybrid DJ + Live Musicians

jlizzio

I would love to have a hybrid DJ + percussionist+sax player for our reception however I am having a really tough time finding someone who does all three. Most DJs do the percussion but not the sax... anyone have any recommendations for DJs that do more than just DJ and percussion??

We used a group out of NJ called Dave Elgart Music, http://www.elgartmusic.com.
They were awsome! I really can't speak highly enough about them. They are extremely talented with their instruments. You get a professional DJ along with any combination of live instruments. They did not charge extra for travel, which was really nice and for $400 extra they played at the ceremony as well. This is from their website about possible combinations.

DUO 
piano and bass 
piano and sax/flute 
piano and violin/guitar

TRIO
piano and bass and sax/flute 
piano and bass and violin/guitar 
piano and sax/flute and violin/guitar

QUARTET

I think our DJ does that. Big Apple Entertainment in Larchmont. They are amazing. I had a DJ and percussionist but I vaguely remember that a sax player was also an option.

I just met with a DJ from Flipside Entertainment. They do a fusion package which includes the dj, mc, vocalist, saxophonist and percussionist. You can also get a male singer added on or a flute
