Welcome back to another episode of Totally Absolutely Engaged with hosts Isla and Paul.
In this week’s episode, the pair are joined by the incredibly talented Joe Reeves, a wedding saxophone player whose career has taken him from school performances to playing for brands and names like Manchester United, Porsche, and Gymshark.
Joe shares honest insight into the biggest mistakes couples make when booking live wedding entertainment, and breaks down the reality of having a sax player at your wedding - beyond the Instagram hype. He opens up about his own journey, from starting out as a more reserved performer to becoming an artist who fully engages with the crowd and brings the party to life.
The conversation also covers budgeting for live entertainment, what couples should expect from the booking process, and the pros and cons of hiring a wedding sax player. Joe explains why couples should be cautious when searching for a bargain - and what can go wrong when price becomes the priority.
If you’re considering live music for your wedding, this episode is packed with real advice, industry insight, and behind-the-scenes truth you won’t want to miss.
