Photo of Kind Of Two Kind Of Two "They accompanied us brilliantly on the most important day of our lives" 2nd August 2026 Javier d. V. - Private Wedding Photo of Asterio • Violin Routes Asterio • Violin Routes "Asterio made our wedding anniversary perfect!! From the first to the last song we really enjoyed ! Amazing performance 👏 Much appreciated 🙏" 24th August 2026 Kristof - Anniversary Photo of Orestis Violinist Orestis Violinist "I couldn’t recommend Orestis highly enough! After another musician unexpectedly cancelled just a few days before my planned marriage proposal, I found Orestis at very short notice – and looking back, I honestly couldn’t have wished for anyone better to accompany such an important moment in our lives. I had planned to propose to my girlfriend on Falassarna Beach at sunset, and everything needed to remain a complete surprise. From our very first conversation, communication with Orestis was excellent. Despite the short notice, he took the time to discuss every detail with me, helped coordinate the timing, and made sure everything would happen exactly as I had imagined. I was able to choose the songs in advance and we carefully planned when he should start playing so that my girlfriend wouldn’t suspect anything. He even has his own portable sound system that does not require a power connection, which made it possible to have beautiful live music directly on the beach. And then came the most important part: Orestis played the violin absolutely beautifully. Hearing Can’t Help Falling in Love while asking the woman I love to marry me, with the sun setting over Falassarna, was a moment neither my fiancĂ©e nor I will ever forget. ❤️ Everything was perfect – the music, the timing, the atmosphere and the coordination. My fiancĂ©e absolutely loved it, and our entire family was equally impressed. Apart from being an excellent musician, Orestis is also an incredibly kind, warm and genuine person. It was truly a pleasure having him there, and I am very grateful that he became part of such a special moment in our lives. Thank you so much, Orestis, for helping make our engagement unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful experience and would recommend you without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional musician for a proposal, wedding or any other special occasion. Petro & Michelle ❤️🎻" 7th September 2026 Petro - Marriage Proposal Photo of Soupir Soupir "We couldn’t have asked for better musicians for our wedding! From the very beginning, communication was easy, friendly, and flexible. As we don’t speak French, it was especially important to us that communication could also be handled in English, and everything went smoothly throughout the planning process. The performance itself was absolutely wonderful. They are both incredibly talented musicians, and the singer has a truly beautiful voice. The pianist was also excellent, and together they created a fantastic atmosphere for our special day. They listened carefully to our wishes and took all of our requests into consideration, which made the experience feel very personal and special. We received so many compliments from our guests about the music! We highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented, professional, and easy-to-work-with musicians for their wedding. Thank you for making our day even more memorable!" 8th September 2026 Ilari - Private Wedding Photo of Trumpet for events Trumpet for events "Dear Pete Amazing to see The Godfather video here. It's really made me smile and brought back fabulous memories of our lovely day. My husband could not believe his ears when he heard the opening of The Godfather as we stood at the church door and it is definitely something neither of us or our guests will ever forget. So cool! The Charpentier was perfect as we walked down the aisle - bright and cheerful and uplifting - and you made our organist very happy. Thank you, too, for playing Che La Luna Mezzo Mare as our guests moved through the hotel from the reception to the wedding breakfast, and the fanfare as we entered the ballroom. Honestly, Pete, you gave the sparkle and polish to our day. For anyone reading this review, Pete is a fantastic musician and a top-notch professional. I booked Pete as a surprise for my husband because he had this thing about trumpeters playing from the raised pew that is in the church where we had our service . Pete was really flexible in listening to and responding to every request. He also made a number of suggestions to enhance the music I asked for and sent several videos so that I got exactly what I wanted. I can't remember what the fee was now but I can tell you it was worth every penny. Every single one! Thanks again, Pete.

Right up there with performances we saw in Spain." 4th October 2026 Claudia D - Sun City Anthem at Merrill Ranch

Frequently asked questions

Hiring wedding ceremony musicians typically costs between $200 and $1,900+, with an average of $600. 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.

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 in Canada include a wide range of instrumentalists and ensembles to suit different ceremony styles.

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.
