Photo of 8-Bit Funk 8-Bit Funk "Big thank you to 8-Bit for putting on a great show. The band were super accommodating, really well organized, very communicative. They did a great job of playing background jazz at a birthday and of course all the nostalgic gaming hits. Both young(5-15) and old(40 yr olds) loved it" Based in Dublin, Leinster 22nd September 2026 Jonny - Birthday Photo of Mark Wilde Saxophone Mark Wilde Saxophone "Excellent music, brilliant performance. Exactly what we were looking for." Based in Dublin, Leinster 18th August 2026 Deirdre Lawler - Private party Photo of Will Krieger Will Krieger "Will provided beautiful piano playing for our event! He was a absolute pleasure to work with, highly professional, and the background music was absolutely perfect for the atmosphere. I would highly recommend him and will definitely reach out again if we need a pianist. Thank you, Will!" Based in Dublin, Leinster 22nd June 2026 Maeve Judge - Private event Photo of Matildejoy Matildejoy "WOW! What an incredible talent Matilde is! She performed for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception and did so with distinction. Not only did she learn new pieces especially for us, but she also handled the venue’s paperwork at short notice. From start to finish, Matilde was an absolute joy to work with—professional, friendly, and always with a smile. Her singing and playing were beautiful, perfectly capturing the atmosphere of each moment. We cannot recommend Matilde enough. Thank you, Matilde, for your wonderful contribution to our special day!"

She played for our private family of 17 during our stay in Galway. She is bursting with talent, charisma, and energy. Honestly if she lived in the USA I would befriend her in an instant. Her song choices catered to a wide range of tunes and she even sang a new song she wrote. Phenomenal in every way!! Highly recommend for your next event. She will not disappoint!"

Frequently asked questions

Hiring wedding ceremony musicians typically costs between €140 and €1,200+, with an average of €400. 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 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.
