Woodwind Musicians in CardiffRates for violin players in Cardiff begin at about £120 for a single short set, with most quotes coming in near £330 and experienced electric acts carrying their own sound equipment reaching £850+. Set length drives the figure more than anything else, followed by whether the performance is acoustic or electric and how far the player travels. Learning a specific piece for a processional or first dance usually adds a small fee, and covering a ceremony and an evening reception together costs more than a single set. Ask for a written quote that states set length, arrival time and the rate if the schedule overruns. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Barnbuskers Ceilidh Barn Dance Band
"I had the best time with the Barn Buskers celebrating my 50th birthday. From the minute I booked them to the moment they had to leave they were brilliant. The youngest guest was 2, the oldest was 85 and everybody said what a fantastic time they had. Knees hurt but cheeks hurt more from all the smiling and laughing. The caller did extraordinarily well keeping us all together. Note to self.....must learn left from right 😂😂 If you are looking for some talented musicians with a flare to keep the party going, at a pace that suits your needs, then look no further. I believe a friend has booked them for their wedding next year, and I for one can't wait to do it all again 🩷 Huge thank you to Judy and co. Truly a most memorable day 🩷🥳"

Alexander Roberts
"Alex played at our wedding as part of a duo on Saturday. It was absolutely outstanding. The guests loved the music and it made the ceremony that much more romantic, and very emotional. He was very helpful in preparation and made the process of choosing my music easy. I will definitely be recommending him in the future."
Sounds Interesting String Quartet
"Dear Anne,
Thank you, once again, for organising a lovely group of players for me. Everyone was so nice to work with. Considering the amount of notes that we had to play last night - it was a fantastic job. The audience had a really good evening and there were many excellent comments. Thank you, for leading in your usual friendly and professional way. It's always a privilege to work with you. Please pass on my thanks to the players - I am looking forward to the B minor Mass after Christmas!
All the best.
Peter"
