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 Mr and Mrs Blake - Wedding - All day package Photo of Sara Feldmann Brummer - Soprano Sara Feldmann Brummer - Soprano "Sara, your singing really made the wedding! Your voice is so versatile, you sang classical music so beautifully in the ceremony and then switched effortlessly to jazz and pop for the drinks reception. Thank you also for organising the jazz band and other musicians, and for accommodating our somewhat last minute song requests." Based in Bishop's Stortford, England Helene - Wedding and Reception 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 Yogita - Party Photo of Joanne Violin Joanne Violin "Joanne was amazing , it was so speacial walking down the aisle to my favourite Romeo and Juliet with Joanne playing the piece . She was Incredible and made that a memory I would never forget. She played whilst we signed our registra books and exiting the room. Honestly my guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful it was . I would highly recommend Joanne and thank you for making it so amazing just the best day. X Jodie and Martin Mr and Mrs cook x x" Based in Epping, England Jodie Carver - Wedding Photo of Wedding & Events Singer Wedding & Events Singer "Lyn performed at our private event, and she completely elevated the entire evening. Her repertoire of musical theatre classics, Disney favorites, and timeless ballads was perfectly curated for the crowd, striking the exact balance between elegance and vibrant entertainment. Beyond her incredible vocal talent, Lyn was an absolute professional to work with—prompt, organized, and seamless in her setup. She captivated every guest in the room, and we cannot wait to book her again for future events." Based in London, England 24th September 2026 Ellie - Private Event Photo of Saxophonist Matthew Landi Saxophonist Matthew Landi "Matt performed for our EOFY works social at 50 Carrington Rd Sydney with some light jazz and chill hits. Brought a perfect saxophone vibe to the event, enlightening the atmosphere as the workers had drinks. Later he played Baker St at the conclusion, would highly recommend him for your private events." Based in London, England 30th July 2026 Sam Ali - Little Big

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.
