Wedding Ceremony Musicians in New Forest
Woodwind Musicians in New ForestRates for violin players in New Forest begin at about £110 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.

ClusterFolk
"Clusterfolk played at my wedding last weekend and were absolutely amazing.
They were the perfect backdrop to my wedding reception and played a mix of instrumentals and vocals.
We received many compliments regarding the music and quality, and the guys are truly lovely and easy to work with.
We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again"
MayAlan Duo
"Maya from the MayAlan Duo, spent time getting to know where each of our passions in music lay. From Madonna to Cinema Paradiso! From friendly, lively conversation about all sorts of things, it felt like we all together came up with music ideas that were very personal to us both. Just what you want on your wedding day! On the wedding day itself, the music was beautiful, their playing was superb. And they were totally professional. Our guests thought they were as talented and as likeable as we do."
Irish Frank
"Frank Doherty and Ben Gunnery turned a family party into a proper ‘hooley’! From folk songs, to ballads, to the Siege of Ennis, they cranked up the volume when we wanted everyone up on the dance floor, but also allowed the fiddle, guitar and tin whistle to play quietly in the background when people wanted to sit & talk.
Two very good Irish musicians; well-played lads ‘go raibh mait agat’!"
The Misophone Collective
"Oscar & the other members of The Misophone Colletive did such a wonderful job at our event! Communication was great leading up to it, and everything went perfectly the day of. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!"
Miranda Juliet
