Photo of SaxoPhoney Michael SaxoPhoney Michael "Michael played at our wedding reception he had the whole dance floor full dancing everyone loved it. He is very talented I would definitely recommend him" Based in Canterbury, England 23rd October 2026 Laura D Photo of ViolinbyAbigail ViolinbyAbigail "Abigail was amazing, from booking stages, all the way through to bringing to life my vision on our big day. She played all of the songs requested and just made the elegant atmosphere we so desired throughout our reception and wedding breakfast. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough." Based in Herne Bay, England (7 miles from Canterbury) 3rd November 2025 Daniella Ratnarajah - Private Wedding Photo of Paula Borrell Paula Borrell "Paula was superb. Very professional , had an extensive list to choose from and willing to play songs off the list on request. All of our guests really enjoyed the music. Would definitely use again." Based in Southend-on-Sea, England (24 miles from Canterbury) Yogita - Party Photo of Cellist Miriam Louise Cox Cellist Miriam Louise Cox "Our father died aged 91 recently and as classical music had been his absolute joy throughout his life, we knew that we had to make it part of his small and very intimate funeral. How lucky (and delighted) we were to find that a professional, Miriam, lives locally and that she would like to be part of this celebration of his long life. Miriam could not have been more helpful or sensitive in helping us to choose and adapt four very special pieces and she played them beautifully, especially as unlike a wedding there was so little time for preparation. We shall never forget the sound of her playing her arrangement for cello of Ralph Vaughan Williams' Five Variants of 'Dives and Lazarus' as my father's coffin was lifted and borne out of the chapel, and continuing to hear it as we followed it to his final resting place. It was the one piece that he had ever mentioned as wishing to include at his funeral, and it meant a huge amount to have it played live by someone who cared very much about her role in the service. He would have loved to have heard it, and who knows, perhaps he did. Our heartfelt thanks, Miriam." Based in Cranbrook, England (27 miles from Canterbury) Bridget - Funeral Photo of Will Loop Guitar Will Loop Guitar "Will very kindly agreed to play at what was a very auspicious and important occasion for me. His attention to planning the evening was first class and he absolutely read the room so well on the evening to play the right tunes, including my own favourites and many unexpected. The reaction from those there was so positive that I have invited him to play at another equally important event later this year. It goes without saying that his playing was exemplary too. He is a hugely talented individual. Thank you." Based in Tonbridge, England (35 miles from Canterbury) Mark - Dinner Party at The Company of Entrepreneurs Photo of Professional Singer and Pianist Professional Singer and Pianist "Our wedding day on Sunday, 2 October was one of the best days either of us have ever experienced, and that is due in large part to you. From the moment we first met you, you put us at ease on being able to provide our music for the day. Your timely feedback and input during the planning stages was so useful, then finally you knocked it out the park on our wedding day! Thank you for the splendid way you executed your job and delighted us and our guests. Our family and friends are still complimenting us on the day and your input was a big part of that success, and for that we will be forever grateful. Thank you again for making our special day that little bit extra special. If there is any customer review platform that we can give you a positive review on let us know we would be happy to do so. Many thanks again! Mr and Mrs. Blake" Based in Colchester, England (43 miles from Canterbury) Mr and Mrs Blake - Wedding - All day package

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring classical soloists is £250, 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.
