Photo of Marino Zayas Marino Zayas "We had a great time with this band's music, it was truly a show that took me back to my roots, with their traditional Cuban music and their Yito songs that are already being heard on the radio. Thank you so much for your presence Marino's Band Zayas" Translated from Spanish Based in Tampa, Florida (42 miles from Sarasota) Claudia Escobar - Fiesta de Celebracion Photo of Shawn Ash Shawn Ash "Music and singing for wedding. Shawn did an amazing job for my wedding and went above and beyond our expectations. He work with us to get all the music together for our first dance, boutique toss, harder removal, and even mixed a few songs together for a traditional Thai dance. He is very responsive to calls, texts, and emails. I would recommend him for any event you are having since he goes above and beyond to make your event special. Rating: 5 Stars Reviewer: Christopher Saxon Event Date: July 17th, 2023 Services Provided: Singer/Songwriter" Based in Leesburg, Florida (109 miles from Sarasota) Chris Saxon - Wedding Photo of Roger Terrell – Heart and Soul Music Roger Terrell – Heart and Soul Music "Owner Charlie here from Spookie Bar & Grill and Scream Dream Castle Entertainment. Roger delivered a super, great show that kept the crowd moving with beach music, soul, and rock classics. The bar manager told me he loved the energy and variety, and our security guard — a huge Bon Jovi and Led Zeppelin fan — said Roger nailed it. Roger even entertained guests waiting in line for the largest haunted house in the Carolinas and made everyone feel like part of the party."

Very cool" Based in Knoxville, Tennessee (601 miles from Sarasota) Lydia Nicole - Private Photo of Matthew Zelenin Music Matthew Zelenin Music "Matthew was great! He was extremely talented and professional. We requested multiple songs for him to learn and he played them all perfectly! He was extremely accommodating. He brought all his equipment, arrived early for set up, and executed everything perfectly. We will definitely use him again for future events and recommend him to friends!"

Frequently asked questions

Hiring a composer or arranger typically costs between $95 and $1,500+, with an average of $340. 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.
