Photo of Accordionist strolling Accordionist strolling "Hired for my corporate event 👍👍👍👍 Played every cool song and oldie sing along it was a great time" Based in Vaughan, Ontario (40 miles from Barrie) 21st March 2026 Linda - Insurance Photo of The Sidewalk Crusaders The Sidewalk Crusaders "Great energy!! We are so happy we booked The Sidewalk Cruisaders for our wedding. They brought so much energy and fun to our cocktail hour. My guests raved about them. Very easy to work with and willing to tailor the song list to our likes and interests." Based in Toronto, Ontario (50 miles from Barrie) Lisa W. Photo of SaxoDance SaxoDance "SaxoDance Was the Life of Our Cocktail Hour We are so pleased with our decision to hire Stephan to perform for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He is very professional and helped us craft our processional walk. He learned the songs that we wanted to mark each moment, and let us curate his broad repertoire to our liking. He is a very talented player and provided great entertainment for our cocktail hour, even playing past our designated time as our dinner got delayed. Our fiends and family enjoyed socializing with him and his wife/assistant Suzanne. They both really helped make our day so magical, and created many great photo moments. I can’t recommend SaxoDance enough :)" Based in Gatineau, Quebec (208 miles from Barrie) 25th September 2026 Larissa C. - Wedding Photo of Adam Karch Adam Karch "I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Everything Can Change, from Adam Karch and it's an interesting mix of acoustic and electric fused folk/blues music with solid vocals. Opening with It's Your Song, a contemporary, radio style track with a solid melody and clean acoustic guitar work, Adam Karch shows his stuff on vocal and guitar, backed by Richard Deschenes on bass and Marc-Andre Drouin on drums. JJ Cale's classic, After Midnight gets a substantial rework and I like it. Starting with acoustic slide and fine finger picking, Karch's stylistic vocal phrasing really changes the track and it's as cool as the original. Very nice. Porch Groove (Sunday Morning) is a real relaxing meandering melody on acoustic guitar. Very nice. Another nice cover is Bob Dylan's Don't Think Twice, It's Alright. Karch has one of those voices that is warm and refreshing and his picking style is clean and concise. Very nice. Wrapping the release is another Porch Groove (Saturday Evening) with a more contemporary finger picked melody. Karch is a talented musician and vocalist who has put together a real nice release."

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for roaming musicians ranges from $250 to $3,250+, with an average of $700. Rates depend on the musician's experience, performance duration and the instrument involved. Roaming musicians move freely among guests rather than playing from a stage, creating an interactive, intimate atmosphere.

The roaming musicians for hire include a wide range of instruments suited to mobile performance, such as violin, guitar, accordion, saxophone, ukulele, steel pan and various string and brass instruments. Many perform solo or in small groups.

Hiring roaming musicians is ideal for wedding drinks receptions, corporate networking events, garden parties, restaurant entertainment, festivals and cocktail hours. A roaming musician creates an intimate, personal atmosphere by performing directly among guests.

Most roaming musicians perform acoustically without any amplification, which makes them extremely versatile and suited to venues of all sizes. For very large or noisy spaces, some musicians may use a small portable amplifier. It is advisable to discuss the venue with the musician.

Most roaming musicians perform for one to three hours, depending on the event. Roaming performances are often booked for specific segments such as a drinks reception or dinner service. Gig Heaven recommends discussing the event schedule to agree the best timing.
