Photo of Justin Rogers Music Justin Rogers Music "Justin is an experienced musician, he has provided his services at our events over many years, he is reliable and engaging. We highly recommend him, he always creates a relaxed atmosphere and has been a hit with our clients which has helped our business in the past" Based in Ruislip, England (6 miles from Watford) Jeff Kerr - Private Events/Occasions Photo of Gemma Ashley Gemma Ashley "The very first time we heard Gemma Ashley sing, she performed "In the Arms of an Angel" on a YouTube channel. We absolutely loved her voice and knew she would be the ideal singer for our Christmas wedding in 2022, and we were so fortunate that our wedding date suited her diary. Little did we know, then, that Gemma would - in a metaphorical sense - come to provide those very angelic, reassuring arms for us on our wedding day, as we were faced with a number of unexpected challenges (including train strikes, snow chaos, and traffic delays). It all added to the stresses of the day, particularly for the bridal party, who were not sure they would even make it to wedding in time. However, the moment we entered the Church and were met by Gemma's soaring aria as she performed her opening song to the Groom ("Nella Fantasia"), any worries and anxieties magically disappeared. Instead, a wonderful sense of calm and serenity descended - like arms of an angel - where Gemma's song, accompanied on the piano by amazing Paolo Freitas, literally transported us to a breathtakingly beautiful, almost etheral, space in time. From that point, everything fell into place, and Gemma became our guiding light and steadfast beacon for the rest of the day and evening. Not only was she our amazing soprano for our wedding ceremony, singing five songs in four different languages (Italian, Latin, Portuguese and English!), but she single-handedly provided the full musical entertainment for our wedding reception, covering everything from Depeche Mode to Abba - and even led the wedding party in a surprise Les Miserables flash mob! We are indebted to Gemma for making our wedding day the huge and unforgettable success that it was; her work ethic and professionalism is second to none, and her warmth, great sense of humour and generosity of spirit is something we will never forget. We feel we did not just hire a singer for our special day, but a true artist who engaged everyone with her presence and creative performance, and who has become a friend for life. We cannot recommend Gemma enough. She will bring joy and light and life-time memories to any special events, giving 110% until the very moment the lights go out for the night. Perhaps the greatest testament to the lasting effect that Gemma had on our wedding day was when the Priest himself leaned over and whispered to us during the ceremony: "Where did you find this singer? She is fantastic." We would only like to add that choosing this lovely young woman to sing at our wedding, and at the reception, was one of the best, if not the best, decision, that we made when arranging our wedding. Thank you so much, Gemma. We love you xxx.

It was absolutely perfect! Just seen a video of our entrance with the music and it was perfect. Thank you so much!" Based in Slough, England (13 miles from Watford) Emily - Private wedding Photo of The Traveler Trumpet The Traveler Trumpet "He was on time. The play was good my wife and children really enjoyed your play. I will surely use him again." Based in Feltham, England (14 miles from Watford) 20th March 2026 Ajiboye Aina p - 50th birthday 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 (15 miles from Watford) 24th September 2026 Ellie - Private Event Photo of Louise Dearsley Louise Dearsley "Louise was absolutely amazing from the moment we booked her to play at our wedding ceremony. Responsive and friendly communication, stuck to agreed timings, and played absolutely beautifully. So many of our guests commented how lovely her playing was. Thank you Louise, you played a massive part in what was a perfect day. We are so very grateful." Based in Twickenham, England (15 miles from Watford) 16th August 2026 Ashley Wilde - Wedding

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.
