The Perfect Soundtrack for Your Bay Area Wedding: Elegant, Live Music That Lets the Conversation Flow
Elegance and Ambiance: The Power of Live Saxophone
Your wedding day deserves a soundtrack as unique and elegant as your love story. The solo saxophone is currently recognized as the ultimate sophisticated wedding trend—from celebrity performances to features in publications like The New York Times—and Modest Orchestra is the experienced professional delivering it in the Bay Area. Since 1988, we’ve been the trusted choice for couples seeking a touch of class without the hassle or expense of a full band. Our signature solo saxophone delivers a rich, full sound that enhances the mood without ever drowning out the laughter, toasts, and conversation that make your day special.
Mike (a.k.a. Modest Orchestra) is a versatile performer with a rich background in jazz and blues. Mike has graced the stages of renowned venues like Stern Grove, Yoshi’s, The Empress Theater, and has performed at iconic spots like Sweetwater, The New Parish, The Chapel and The Sound Room. More recently, you can find him performing throughout the Bay Area with MJ’s Brass Boppers brass band and the Mighty Mules blues band.
