Wedding Ceremony Musicians
Woodwind MusiciansProfessional banjo players bring the distinctive charm of this traditional stringed instrument to events worldwide. These skilled musicians specialize in country, folk, bluegrass and acoustic styles, offering both solo performances and collaborative work with other artists. Whether you need atmospheric background music or featured entertainment, experienced banjoists can adapt their repertoire to suit your occasion.
A skilled banjoist adds authentic folk character to any gathering, creating warm, engaging atmospheres that encourage participation and enjoyment. Many banjo musicians are multi-instrumentalists who can collaborate effectively with guitarists and accordion players to form impromptu acoustic ensembles. Professional performers understand timing, dynamics and audience engagement, ensuring their music complements rather than overwhelms your event. Some banjo artists also work as composers and arrangers, capable of creating custom arrangements or teaching workshops for interactive entertainment.
Folk instrumentalists excel at weddings, particularly outdoor ceremonies and rustic receptions where acoustic music creates intimate moments. Corporate events benefit from the approachable nature of banjo music, while private parties and cultural celebrations often feature these versatile performers. Many banjo musicians also perform alongside traditional pipers at heritage events, and can complement percussion sections when working with professional drummers in larger acoustic ensembles.
Professional banjo musicians typically charge between $100 and $2,050+ for event performances, with an average booking cost of $500. Pricing varies based on performance duration, travel requirements, repertoire complexity and whether additional musicians are included. Solo acoustic sets generally cost less than full band collaborations, while specialty arrangements or extended performance times may command premium rates.
The average price for Banjo Players is $500 (USD). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

lost Troubadours

Double Shot Maggie
"After stumbling onto Double Shot Maggie in March at Murphys in Geelong I now grab the chance to see them whenever possible. Anyone who has been along to a Double Shot Maggie gig knows they're in for a great night from the best band out of G-town for a long time."
Big City Dixieland Band
"Big City Dixieland was a HUGE hit in our City Parade! Audiences from all ages were singing along, clapping and even dancing in the grass! Big City Dixieland sounded great! From what we (the organizers) could hear, they played a good variety of lively, well-known Dixieland Music, including a patriotic song. It was very easy to work with Maureen and Michael, their band arrived early, and everyone was very professional. We will definitely be hiring Big City Dixieland band for our next event in 2025!"
Freshwater Jazz Players
"FUN, NEVER MONOTONOUS, A MUSICAL WALK FROM THE STREETS OF NEW ORLEANS TO PARISIAN CAFÉS."
The Irish Wedding Trad Trio
"Your music really set the tone for the day as music was a really important part of it for both of us and it set the perfect vibe as our guests arrived into the venue and started the party! The mix of traditional, folk and current tunes catered for the whole guest list and gave our visiting guests a little taste of Ireland at the same time. We would recommend you wholeheartedly on any bride or groom who wants to entertain their friends and family.
