You were easily the best musician we've had in this weekend." Based in Liverpool, England (16 miles from Chester) Andy - Recording session Photo of Roger Gamon Guitarist - classical/jazz/pop Roger Gamon Guitarist - classical/jazz/pop "Roger was brilliant from when I first made contact right through to the day itself. He played beautifully and made such a huge difference to our wedding celebrations. Everyone was blown away by his professionalism, skill, and kindness. A truly outstanding performer, thank you!" Based in Manchester, England (34 miles from Chester) 23rd September 2026 Laura S - Wedding Photo of Trumpet for events Trumpet for events "Many people came up to me after the service saying how genuinely touched they were by your performance. My Uncle and my Dad were sat behind me during the service and you literally reduced them both to tears. I have never seen either of them cry before. It was extremely moving, your performance was beautiful and perfect. Rob would have absolutley loved it. Thank you much for performing for us and for your professionalism and sympathy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone" Based in Manchester, England (34 miles from Chester) 18th September 2026 Sarah - Funeral Photo of CAVE - Special Events Violinist CAVE - Special Events Violinist "Jo played for us during the whole evening from our pre-dinner drinks reception, during our meal and afterwards. Her set was all carefully crafted together as a musical journey and given much thought. She has a great repertoire from classical right through to hit songs of modern artists. A journey in time and for us it brought back memories from our young and undergrad days. 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' got a huge round of applause. I really enjoyed the two ELO numbers she specially arranged for me, 'Sweet Talkin Woman' and 'Mr Blue Sky'. What a fantastic evening!" Based in Welshpool, Wales (38 miles from Chester) Cathy Wickenden - RVC77 Reunion Dinner Sept 18th Photo of Wedding/funeral/events singer Wedding/funeral/events singer "I contacted Sarah to sing at a very last minute event, it was something out of the ordinary but she managed it perfectly. Her voice is wonderful and she adapted her repertoire to the event's needs, delivering a powerful and emotive performance. I would definitely be happy to book her again for future events." Based in Lancashire, England (47 miles from Chester) 3rd November 2026 Lynn Coates

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring classical soloists is £260, with prices from £95 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.
