Reviews of Wedding Ceremony Musicians available in Canada

5/5 from 4,959 reviews
Photo of Nairoz Lakhani Nairoz Lakhani "My friend and I visited Desi North in Milton for dinner on Saturday night, and it turned out to be an absolutely wonderful experience. The food was delicious, but the highlight of the evening was the amazing live performance by Nairoz Lakhani. Her voice was beautiful, soulful, and filled the restaurant with positive energy. What made the night even more special was that she graciously sang one of my favorite songs upon request. That personal touch made the evening truly unforgettable. The combination of great food, excellent ambiance, and Nairoz's outstanding performance made for a perfect night. Thank you to Nairoz and the entire Desi North team for creating such a pleasant and memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great South Asian food and a fantastic live music experience by Ms. Nairoz Lakhani in Milton." Based in Toronto, Ontario 25th October 2026 Ausaaf Photo of Elegant Classics Duo Elegant Classics Duo "Mary Jane and Maria were absolutely amazing! We had them play acoustic for our ceremony and on tracks for the cocktail hour. They were able to take all our requests for the ceremony and it was so special for us to have specific music. We received countless compliments from the guests as well. Thank you for helping to make our day perfect!" Based in Calgary, Alberta 30th September 2026 Becky Martin - Wedding Ceremony & Cocktail Hour Photo of SaxoDance SaxoDance "SaxoDance Was the Life of Our Cocktail Hour We are so pleased with our decision to hire Stephan to perform for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He is very professional and helped us craft our processional walk. He learned the songs that we wanted to mark each moment, and let us curate his broad repertoire to our liking. He is a very talented player and provided great entertainment for our cocktail hour, even playing past our designated time as our dinner got delayed. Our fiends and family enjoyed socializing with him and his wife/assistant Suzanne. They both really helped make our day so magical, and created many great photo moments. I can’t recommend SaxoDance enough :)" Based in Gatineau, Quebec 25th September 2026 Larissa C. - Wedding Photo of Nathan Sax Nathan Sax "If you're thinking about booking Nathan sax do not hesitate!

Frequently asked questions

Hiring wedding ceremony musicians typically costs between $190 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.

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 for hire 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.

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.

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.

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.
