Photo of Scarlett Strings - Violin + Singing Scarlett Strings - Violin + Singing "Scarlett was incredible! Everything about our experience was perfect from the communication to her performance. She learnt a new song for our aisle song and it was beautiful. All our guests loved the music during the ceremony and drinks reception. It was lovely to have a performance that was so elegant yet personal, I would recommend her to everyone." Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England (92 miles from Edinburgh) 26th February 2026 Katy V - Wedding Photo of Howard Haigh Howard Haigh "He’s a precision musician with a vivid imagination" Based in Lancaster, England (133 miles from Edinburgh) Dennis Kilcommons - Huddersfield Examiner Photo of Mediterranean Singing Guitarist Mediterranean Singing Guitarist "Talented guitarist with a beautiful voice! A musical background of true class" Translated from Italian Based in Belfast, Northern Ireland (142 miles from Edinburgh) Carolina Vastola 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 (149 miles from Edinburgh) 3rd November 2026 Lynn Coates Photo of Nicolas Lewis Nicolas Lewis "Superlative. Nick is fantastically talented, charming and dedicated to make a special event ( here a wedding party) more special. Which he did." Based in York, England (161 miles from Edinburgh) 17th September 2026 David L - Private Wedding Reception Photo of Kate Violin Kate Violin "Kate's pre event contactablity was excellent, her manner very pleasant, she was punctual, undemanding and very helpful and that was before she had even played a note. She performed to a mixed age audience and held us spell-bound by her variety of music which she had selected based upon a brief resume we sent her. The mix of modern, popular and classical music was both recognisable to most and certainly enjoyed by all. She is also such an unassuming young woman. From an audience of circa 200 we wish her every success in the entertainment industry. We will certainly invite her back in the future." Based in Leeds, England (163 miles from Edinburgh) Peter Mawer - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring classical soloists is £290, with prices from £100 to £750+. 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.
