Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - March/April 2022 (Issue 36)

47 MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT Ways to entertain at weddings large and small MUSIC IS LOVE If music be the food of love, play on!” These are the opening words of Shakespeare’s romantic comedy Twelfth Night. Apart from a love for words, the greatest English poet, playwright and actor of all times had an infatuation for two things – romance and music. Here, we chat with some of Devon and Cornwall’s finest musicians. SAXOPHONIST DANIEL COSTIN Plymouth-based musician Daniel Costin is a wedding and event sax player available to book for celebrations in Devon, Cornwall and worldwide. He has performed at numerous weddings and private events at some of the best venues in the UK. His passion is music and this shows in his outstanding performances of pop tunes, much-loved classics, smooth jazz, dance anthems and laid-back tracks with an Ibiza beach club vibe. Daniel is extremely flexible, working with couples to tailor a bespoke playlist for each wedding, whether it’s an intimate gathering or a large affair outdoors on a beach, clifftop, in a woodland area or inside a venue. His dynamic and charismatic personality has got him to where he is today – he isn’t just a saxophonist but an entertainer for each special day. His brilliant album, Despacito, includes favourite covers of much-loved hits including Dance Monkey and You are the Reason and whether it’s a classical or chilled-out repertoire, or a blend of playing alongside a DJ, Daniel loves nothing more than keeping the happy couple, and their guests, dancing all night long!
