5/5 from 33 reviews
Photo of Miranda Juliet Miranda Juliet "Wonderful performance, curious and interesting concept. Well planned and organized. Congratulations!" Based in Bristol, England Edoardo - concert Photo of Scarlett Smith - Bristol Harpist Scarlett Smith - Bristol Harpist "Scarlett played at our small wedding ceremony last week at very short notice - only a few days! She even learnt a special request of ours, which is exceptional given the timescales. Despite it being a small, intimate ceremony, Scarlett helped make it extremely special - her musicianship was outstanding and it was the perfect fit for a Covid wedding! Highly recommended, thanks Scarlett :-)" Based in Bristol, England Will Rees - Wedding Photo of Oscar Tabor - Socially distanced concerts Oscar Tabor - Socially distanced concerts "I asked Oscar and his brother Barney to record a cover of my mums favourite song for her birthday and she absolutely loved it! It was a beautiful and very personal gift at a time when I couldn't be with her in person. Thank you both!" Based in Bristol, England Anna Giles - Birthday Party Photo of Liv Brewin Liv Brewin "We had Liv as DJ and saxophonist at our wedding and it was the best decision we could have made! From start to finish she was a joy to work with. She is professional, easygoing and incredibly talented! Liv delivered beautiful tunes and created the perfect atmosphere for our special day. I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!" Based in Caldicot, Wales (11 miles from Bristol) 20th December 2025 Karina Lyssand - Wedding Photo of Sue Cottrell - wedding pianist Sue Cottrell - wedding pianist "A brilliant experience! Sue was very quick to respond to organisational queries prior to the event. As musicians, Sue and Lloyd were first-class, and fitted in perfectly with the professional, yet relaxed, atmosphere of the launch." Based in Newport, Wales (20 miles from Bristol) Toni P - Launch Photo of TKate Cello TKate Cello "Tabitha was absolutely wonderful as our wedding cellist. She was professional and brought lovely personal touches to every aspect of her performance. She took the time to understand the tone of our day, and played with such sensitivity and emotion that it added a truly intimate touch to the ceremony. Her music was not only beautiful—it elevated the entire atmosphere. So many of our guests commented on how moving the music was and how warm and approachable Tabitha seemed. We couldn’t have asked for a more meaningful contribution to our wedding day." Based in Cardiff, Wales (25 miles from Bristol) Matthew Barrell - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring classical soloists is £260, with prices from £100 to £700+. Pricing depends on the musician's experience, the instrument, performance duration and the style of music. Classical soloists cover a wide range of instruments and repertoire, and performers with advanced training and professional concert experience tend to command higher fees.

The classical soloists on Gig Heaven include performers on violin, cello, flute, harp, piano, guitar, clarinet, oboe and many other instruments. It is worth browsing profiles to find a soloist who plays the specific instrument you are looking for.

Hiring classical soloists is ideal for wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, corporate dinners, gallery openings, private parties and formal events. A solo musician provides elegant, refined entertainment that works well as background music or as a featured performance.

Many classical soloists offer arrangements of contemporary songs, film soundtracks and popular hits alongside their classical repertoire. This allows the performance to appeal to a wider audience while retaining the elegance of a live acoustic instrument.

Most classical soloists need very little beyond a chair and adequate space. Harpists may need a specific amount of floor space and access for transporting the instrument. For larger venues, some soloists may use a small amplifier. It is worth confirming any specific requirements with the musician.
