Photo of SaxoPhoney Michael SaxoPhoney Michael "Michael played at our wedding reception he had the whole dance floor full dancing everyone loved it. He is very talented I would definitely recommend him" Based in Canterbury, England 23rd October 2026 Laura D Photo of jamiesaxophone - weddings, events & more jamiesaxophone - weddings, events & more "Where to start! My daughter’s wedding vision included a saxophonist. Unfortunately as the bookings were made for everything, this was seen as a luxury and got pushed further down the list and then wasn’t going to happen. Fast forward to two weeks before the wedding and I saw a wedding post on facebook and Jamie’s name was mentioned numerous times. The stars aligned and I was exceptionally lucky Jamie was available . The absolute best decision I made! Jamie answered quickly to every message ( I sent many!), was so lovely and was absolutely awesome on the day. The playlist was perfect and Jamie brought such a great vibe. Everyone is still talking about him! Even in videos that we’ve posted people are commenting ‘who is he?’ ‘This is incredible’ My advice put Jamie at the top of your wedding list, or any party list, you won’t regret it! The only thing I do regret is not booking him for longer as it went so fast. Jamie you are incredibly talented and we are so grateful that we got to meet you and dance along with you! You’re calm, very cool, charming and exceptional!!!! You were an absolute highlight of the day, I have watched the videos of you and everyone so many times as it’s just such a natural, happy time that you couldn’t plan. I can’t wait for my next daughter’s wedding you are a definite!!!!" Based in Canterbury, England Amanda Lowe - Suprise Drinks Reception Photo of Carl Bradford Violin Carl Bradford Violin "Carl was incredible from start to finish. When I first enquired the communication from him was great and we were able to personalise just what we wanted. He responded quickly and professionally. Carl played during our Wedding ceremony and we have received so many compliments on just how well he added that special touch. Unforgettable! Highly recommended and a very genuine, kind man. We still speak about how amazing he was and his talent is beyond amazing!"

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for roaming musicians ranges from £110 to £1,400+, with an average of £370. 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.
