Photo of Hans professional violinist Hans professional violinist "Hans is not only an amazing Violinist, he is an amazing person and made every step of booking a Violinist in a different country for our wedding as easy as possible. From the first video call well before our wedding, to constantly making sure we were creating the perfect ceremony/cocktail/dinner playing experience I can not stress enough how quick his responses were and how much he actually cared about our special day. Hans quickly put together a professional contract for us so all the details were set in stone almost half a year before the wedding date! Hans was able to play ANY song that we requested as well as to play a very specific piece during my wife’s walk down the aisle - timing it perfect and effortlessly all by himself. Furthermore Hans actually also helped us out with other caterers and arranged his own transport to a very remote location. 10/10 experience working with Hans through the entire process" 20th July 2026 Mikael Torpegaard - Wedding at Chateau Photo of Teresaceni Violinist Teresaceni Violinist "We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more incredible violinist for our wedding. From the moment Teresa started playing during our aperitif, she created the most beautiful atmosphere and made the whole day feel even more magical. What made her truly exceptional, though, was how thoughtful and personal she was. She went above and beyond by learning a special song in memory of my cousin which was an incredibly emotional and meaningful moment for us and our family. She also learnt another song so that my sister could sing alongside her, making the moment even more special. Her talent is extraordinary, but it was her kindness, thoughtfulness and willingness to make everything so personal that really touched us. She didn’t just provide beautiful music — she became such a special part of our wedding and helped create memories that we will treasure forever. We cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone incredibly talented, professional, thoughtful and genuinely passionate about making your day special, look no further. She was absolutely amazing and we are so grateful to her. ❤️🎻" 23rd August 2026 Rachel Parkin - Wedding - aperitif Photo of Alex Choi Violín Alex Choi Violín "Hola Alex! Acaban de irse los últimos invitados! Un millón de gracias por tu actuación anoche. Yo cumplí un sueño y todos mis amigos alucinaron con tu música. Ojalá podamos volver a disfrutar de arte. Un abrazo fuerte 😘✨" 31st August 2026 Cristina - Cumpleaños Photo of Orestis Violinist Orestis Violinist "I couldn’t recommend Orestis highly enough! After another musician unexpectedly cancelled just a few days before my planned marriage proposal, I found Orestis at very short notice – and looking back, I honestly couldn’t have wished for anyone better to accompany such an important moment in our lives. I had planned to propose to my girlfriend on Falassarna Beach at sunset, and everything needed to remain a complete surprise. From our very first conversation, communication with Orestis was excellent. Despite the short notice, he took the time to discuss every detail with me, helped coordinate the timing, and made sure everything would happen exactly as I had imagined. I was able to choose the songs in advance and we carefully planned when he should start playing so that my girlfriend wouldn’t suspect anything. He even has his own portable sound system that does not require a power connection, which made it possible to have beautiful live music directly on the beach. And then came the most important part: Orestis played the violin absolutely beautifully. Hearing Can’t Help Falling in Love while asking the woman I love to marry me, with the sun setting over Falassarna, was a moment neither my fiancée nor I will ever forget. ❤️ Everything was perfect – the music, the timing, the atmosphere and the coordination. My fiancée absolutely loved it, and our entire family was equally impressed. Apart from being an excellent musician, Orestis is also an incredibly kind, warm and genuine person. It was truly a pleasure having him there, and I am very grateful that he became part of such a special moment in our lives. Thank you so much, Orestis, for helping make our engagement unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful experience and would recommend you without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional musician for a proposal, wedding or any other special occasion. Petro & Michelle ❤️🎻" 7th September 2026 Petro - Marriage Proposal Photo of The Tiny Musician The Tiny Musician "What an amazing talent Joana has. We booked her to play as our guests arrived before the wedding ceremony and then as I walked down the aisle, and she did such a beautiful job. Her talent is unbelievable and the music was absolutely perfect for the ceremony. She was also probably the easiest supplier from our entire wedding to deal with! She is the loveliest person, so friendly and made everything incredibly easy from start to finish. Joana played such an important part in one of the biggest moments of our day and we couldn’t have chosen anyone better. Thank you so much, Joana, for being such a special part of our wedding. I couldn’t recommend The Tiny Musician enough!" 15th September 2026 Sophia James - Wedding Photo of San Francisco Bay Area Musician Harp Piano San Francisco Bay Area Musician Harp Piano "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mary Mei Brought Our Wedding Vision to Life! If you want a performance that will leave your guests in tears of absolute joy, you must book Mary Mei. For our recent wedding, Mary did not just provide background music—she curated a breathtaking, emotional journey that completely defined the magic of our day. Her ability on the harp, the piano, and the traditional Chinese Guzheng brought an elite level of sophistication and deeply moving artistry that we didn't even know was possible. The absolute highlight of the entire day was our wedding ceremony processional. As the doors opened and I began walking down the aisle, Mary struck the first chords on her gorgeous harp. The acoustics of the room filled with a sound so rich, angelic, and emotionally resonant that it instantly set a tone of pure romance and awe. It felt like stepping directly into a movie scene. Her pacing was flawless, seamlessly matching the energy of the room and creating a deeply personal, sacred moment that none of us will ever forget." 22nd September 2026 Jenny - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring classical soloists is £280, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
