About

The Saxophone and Romance! A match made in HEAVEN!

There is nothing more you could add to make your ceremony or other beach event more memorable than a great saxophoe player! I will enhance your big day by adding love songs and sultry sax riffs to set the mood for a perfect celebration. I am a degreed saxophone player and I have been honored to perform for 2 Presidents, I've been featured on many studio recordings, and since moving to Destin I have performed in opening bands for Ricky Skaggs, Loretta Lynn, KC and the Sunshine Band, Tower of Power, and Chicago at coastal events. As a solo wedding musician, I have been honored to perform for thousands of people from New Orleans to the 18th Green at Hilton Head SC.I am always on site early to entertain your guests before the ceremony, and I stay after the ceremony to perform great R&B and smooth jazz selections while you and your family pose on the beach for photographs. My repertoire includes a large variety of musical styles from gospel and country, traditional jazz, to R&B and smooth jazz. I always "mix it up" during performances to ensure that guests of all ages will not only be pleased with the songs I play, but they will also remember how special the music was during your celebration! Beach weddings are after all, very contemporary events - and they deserve a fully contemporary musical accompaniment! In most cases, you only get married once... you owe it to yourself and your family to ensure your Big Day includes quality mood-setting live music. Consider hiring SaxyGuy Randy Sherwood and you and your guests will be elated with the results!!

Many musicians depart immediately after the ceremony - I am one of the FEW musicians who will stay after the ceremony and continue performing smooth jazz, R&B and love songs while your photos are taken.

One customer gave me the ultimate compliment when he said "Randy gave us NEW YORK SOUNDS AT GULF COAST RATES".... and I do! My rates are reasonable and well worth the thousands of hours I have dedicated to becoming an accomplished musician.

I spent a lifetime acquiring the tools, developing the talent, cultivating the soul, expressing the desire, and mastering the art of playing the PERFECT MUSIC - to ensure YOUR celebration is one that will never be forgotten! Still not sure? Watch my videos, listen to my demo's - and HIRE SaxyGuy Randy Sherwood today!

Amazing Musician!

We first heard Randy playing his sax at a dear friend's wedding and were immediately convinced he was our guy! We hired him to perform during our wedding on Navarre Beach and he did an absolutely wonderful job! He is a joy to work with and a sweet, easy going guy. Randy Sherwood is the perfect choice if you want a fair price, complete confidence, and absolutely amazing music!

Miramar Beach Wedding

Randy’s performance, professionalism and responsiveness was nothing short of amazing! Unfortunately, it rained on my wedding day moving my beach wedding inside. However, Randy was very flexible and entertained wedding guest as scheduled during the transition time. Would definitely recommend him for any event.

Great ceremony Musician!


Randy Sherwood added the perfect touch (wonderful music) to my daughter's summer wedding at Navarre Beach. Many of the guests and the bride were unaware that Randy was hired to serenade them. When the music started, they were elated with how wonderfully Randy set the mood. We would definitely hire Randy again in a heartbeat as he is a truly amazing musician!.

Could Not Be Happier!

We hired Randy to perform at our October 2018 wedding in Destin. We could not say enough about the quality of his music or the ease with which he was to work with. His experience and talent were obvious to my family and guests (including beachgoers not even attending our wedding) the moment he played the first note! Could not recommend him higher. Thanks Randy for an excellent addition to my wedding!

I got so lucky finding Randy to play for my wedding. He is experienced, talented, can play anything, professional, easy to work with, amazing pricing, and the list goes on. More than anything he is responsive, cares about your wedding and his part in it all, and made my wedding music perfect. I would highly recommend him and would hire him again in a heartbeat. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Randy!!!

Randy Sherwood is the ultimate in talented sax players and we couldn't be happier to recommend him. Randy performed ceremony music (R&B, jazz, and love songs) during our daughter's wedding in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. He helped us select the perfect song selections and performed each of our selections perfectly and in the order we arranged with him. If we could award him 10 stars, he would have all 10! Avoid the worries and stress of finding perfect wedding music in the Destin area - hire Randy Sherwood. We did and our family and guests were elated with the results! Randy Sherwood will be our "go-to Saxman" forever!

Want the best wedding musician in Destin? Stop searching and do what we did. We hired Randy Sherwood to play his wonderful sax on the beach! He set the stage beautifully for a wonderful and "forever memorable" ceremony and even stayed afterwards for 40 minutes to keep the music flowing! We are from Los Angeles where great musicians abound. Needless to say, we were most pleasantly surprised to find an L/A studio quality musician living in Destin! Want the best wedding musician in Destin? Stop searching and hire Randy Sherwood! A++++++ all the way Baby!

Randy played on the beach for our sunset wedding. From the moment the guests and family arrived til the moment we left, Randy's wonderful songs could be heard up and down the beach. A crowd formed to witness our ceremony and of course to listen to Randy and his magic sax! People in the condo's nearby applauded for him! It was obvious to all who listened that he puts his heart and soul into every note. Randy has mastered the art and science of bringing soulful and emotional music from the studio to the beach! We could not be happier to recommend this amazing man and his horn. Book Randy and your music worries will turn into "musical dreams that came true"!
