Reviews of Composers / Arrangers / MDs available in Hamilton

5/5 from 201 reviews
Photo of Saxophone Simon - Party Sax - Xmas/2026 Saxophone Simon - Party Sax - Xmas/2026 "Simon was absolutely fab! He took us through a lot of options and we went for light music during photos and with our DJ for the reception. Having Simon play was a real highlight of the day. He was amazing and so many guests said just how fun it was. There were a few songs me and Steve really wanted - he really got what we were looking for with the music for the day. We loved him and I don’t think it would have been quite the same without him playing and the atmosphere he naturally brought. Great guy and a really great day" Based in Wellington (244 miles from Hamilton) Lacey Mulhearn - Wedding Photo of Chill Sessions Records Chill Sessions Records "So awesome to see the co-creative potential made manifest in such a tangible way, thanks for being part of the magic that was Luminate 2019!!"

Frequently asked questions

Hiring a composer or arranger typically costs between $170 and $2,000+, with an average of $600. The price depends on the professional's experience, the scope of the project and the time involved. Rates vary significantly depending on whether the booking is for composition, arrangement, musical direction or a combination of these services.

The composers and arrangers on Gig Heaven offer a range of services including original music composition, arrangement of existing songs for specific ensembles, musical direction for live shows or events, orchestration and transcription. Many also offer production and recording services.

Popular occasions for hiring a composer or arranger include weddings requiring original music, theatre productions, corporate films, advertising campaigns and live shows that need a musical director. They are also a strong choice for events where existing music needs to be arranged for a specific ensemble or performance style.

Many composers can write original music tailored to the specific needs of an event, production or project. This might include a first dance song, a corporate jingle, background music for a video or a full score for a live show. It is worth discussing the brief in detail with the composer.

Because composing and arranging requires time for creation, review and rehearsal, a composer or arranger typically needs more lead time than a standard performer. Several weeks to a few months is common, depending on the complexity of the project. It is advisable to make contact as early as possible, especially for original compositions or complex arrangements.
