LET'S HAVE THE

BEST NIGHT OF YOUR LIFE

01 CEREMONY

As a wedding entertainer passionate about playing the piano and the art of creating lifelong memories, my performances are more than just music; they're a symphony of feelings, delicately woven into each note, designed to make your ceremony an unforgettable, tear-inducing experience.

Allow me to play for you as you walk down the aisle, followed by the rush of emotions after you say “I do.” I’ll also set the mood before the ceremony starts as guests begin to take their seats. Most of my repertoire on the piano involves custom mashups of popular songs woven together, ranging from EDM bangers to Taylor Swift to Blink-182. You choose the instrument; piano or saxophone.

02 COCKTAIL HOUR

Piano: Get the party started early with piano covers across all genres including many mash-ups! I’ll provide my own keyboard & speaker if your venue does not have a grand piano.

Sax: I’ll play along to an hour-long, funky disco-house mix (preview here) which has been a recent crowd favorite across all ages! I’ll also provide a speaker and laptop for music.

03 INTRODUCTIONS

Picture this: You just got married to the love of your life, and all your friends and family want to celebrate you as you dance into the night.

Your wedding intros will set the tone for the rest of the evening. When I see you running into your reception fired up and ready to go, I’m confident that we’re about to share lifelong memories together where you’ll be able to literally feel the energy in the room. Allow me to join you on the dance floor as we all welcome you to the rest of your life!

05 DINNER

Liven up your dinner with an interactive experience for everyone to enjoy.

If my booking time falls during dinner, I'll typically include a few songs for you like the viral track, "Jubel" by Klingande, and "Careless Whisper."

NOW OFFERING: The Essential Hype Show:

Sit back and watch with your partner as I play through a custom highly-energetic & homemade medley of several different dance tracks, always starting with "Jubel" of course!

I encourage crowd participation, and it's always a vibe if you and your guests join me on the dance floor during my mix to kick off the next dance set!

06 DANCING

This is the part of the night where we’re going to absolutely rage together. If you’ve seen me at a previous event or have seen my videos, you know that my mission is for us to create organically-built high-energy moments. I’ll be on the dance floor throughout the night, working hand in hand with your DJ to ensure a seamless flow of music.

KIND WORDS

"The Essential Jason Nelson was amazing and absolutely exceeded all our expectations. We hired Jason to play his sax for the dance floor at our wedding reception, and he was a HUGE hit with all our guests!

All of our guests were amazed at how well he was able to play the music, interact, and dance with all of us. The reception definitely would not have been as great as it was without him. The music he played was fantastic and really got everyone up and dancing. The dance floor was packed till the very end!

Jason is talented, energetic, and engaging. He created a fun and lively atmosphere for our reception which had 600 guests! We received so many compliments on the music and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.

I highly recommend hiring him for your event, it really made the night unforgettable. He provided such an amazing service from start to finish.

From setting up an initial call, to being available for questions, to collaborating with our DJ, to performing remarkably, he was one of the best choices we made. He is so talented and professional, and can play all genres of music. My husband and I are Indian, and he was able to play Indian party music and everything else we requested from Hip-Hop, Latin, Top-40, and EDM. Allowing all age groups to get the true experience. We can’t wait to book another party with him! He truly made our event come alive. We had the best time celebrating. 10/10 stars! Thank You- R&S"

"We can't say enough good things about Jason, our sax player for the wedding! He brought incredible energy to our celebration and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. His talent truly made the evening unforgettable. Our guests keep raving about him!

What really impressed us was Jason's willingness to go above and beyond. He even learned new songs that were special to us for our ceremony, adding a personal touch that meant the world to us.

Having known Jason for many years, I can confidently say that he is amazing both personally and professionally. If you're looking for a musician who will elevate your event and create lasting memories, Jason is the perfect choice."

"Incredible is an understatement. If you’re looking for the life of the party, you’ve come to the right person.

Jason played at our wedding and was amazing. We couldn’t have been happier with our decision to have him there.

The energy he brought was contagious and had everyone on the dance floor all night long. We had dozens of guests reach out in the days after, telling us how much they loved having Jason perform. 10/10 — would recommend again and again!"

"Jason was an absolutely essential part of our wedding day! His energy, talent, and presence elevated the entire celebration—our guests are still raving about him over a month later.

He kept the dance floor alive all night, seamlessly blending with the DJ and engaging everyone with his performance.

Having Jason was one of the best decisions we made. If you’re looking to make your wedding unforgettable, he’s your guy!"

"OK this is going to be a lengthy review but Jason deserves every word I'm about to say!

Jason was a HUGE asset on our wedding day and we have him to thank for making it the most memorable day. Music and entertainment is literally everything when it comes to any wedding and he KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK with his talent and energy.

The high energy description is no joke and all of my guests couldn't stop raving about the job he did. We also hired Jason to play piano at our cocktail hour and he was flawless at that as well. Not sure why he can't do?? LOL.

We really cannot thank him enough for bringing the energy and amazing vibes all night and can't recommend him enough- Thanks again Jason!!!!"

04 FIRST DANCE

Elevate your first dance together as a married couple with live sax as I accompany whichever beautiful song you choose! Some couples choose songs where there won’t be a dry eye in the room, where other couples opt for an upbeat & choreographed arrangement.

Whatever your vibe is, I’m happy to help set the mood for an unforgettable night, one sax note at a time. If you’re stuck on song selections, no worries - I’ll help recommend some of my favorites.
