Based in Sydney, New South Wales (1,218 miles from Cairns) 27th July 2026 Cherish - Corporate Event Photo of Vale Acoustic Vale Acoustic "We cannot thank Matt and Steve enough for being such a huge part of our wedding day. From start to finish, they were incredible, professional, fun, and so in tune with the energy of the room. Their live performances were absolutely beautiful and added such a personal touch to the ceremony and reception. And when it was time to hit the dance floor, they had everyone up and celebrating all night long! So many of our guests commented on how amazing the music was, and honestly, we couldn’t agree more. Steve and Matt helped create such a fun and relaxed atmosphere, and it truly wouldn’t have been the same without them. If you’re looking for musicians who genuinely care and know how to bring the perfect vibe to your day these are your guys!"

Frequently asked questions

Hiring wedding ceremony musicians typically costs between $240 and $1,950+, with an average of $650. The price depends on the type of musician, performance duration and whether the booking covers the ceremony alone or includes the drinks reception. Popular options include string quartets, harpists, solo vocalists, pianists and acoustic duos, and ensemble acts cost more than solo performers.

Most wedding ceremony musicians are happy to learn or arrange specific songs for key moments such as walking down the aisle. Gig Heaven recommends contacting musicians well in advance with any special requests, as some songs may need time to arrange for a particular instrument or ensemble.

Most wedding ceremony musicians perform for 30 minutes to one hour, covering the key moments such as the guest arrival, the processional, any signing of the register or documents, and the recessional. Some musicians also offer extended packages that include pre-ceremony background music or music during a drinks reception afterwards.

Some wedding ceremony musicians offer packages covering both the ceremony and the drinks reception or the wedding meal. Others specialise in ceremony music only. It is a good idea to check each musician's profile for their available packages, or contact them to discuss a tailored arrangement.

Many wedding ceremony musicians are happy to perform outdoors, though this should be confirmed with the musician in advance. Outdoor performances may be affected by wind, rain or temperature, which can impact acoustic instruments. Providing a covered or sheltered area for the musicians and their equipment is strongly recommended.

The most popular choices for wedding ceremonies include string quartets, harpists, pianists, classical guitarists, flute players and vocalists. The right choice depends on the venue and the atmosphere the couple wants to create. The wedding ceremony musicians include a wide range of instrumentalists and ensembles to suit different ceremony styles.
