Photo of Gajè Gipsy Swing Gajè Gipsy Swing "Nothing but compliments for this band! They created such a lively vibe for our welcome party, no request was an issue, even played on in the dark when we had lighting issues. Our day was a whirlwind of activity as we arrived and organised everything for our 3 day event but it was so lovely that our welcome party was exactly what we had imagined thanks to them." Based in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna 9th October 2026 Kelly - Welcome party Photo of Saxophone and String Quartet Saxophone and String Quartet "From the first contact with Luigi it all went very smoothly. Great communication, flexible and most of all a wonderful addition to our wedding reception and party!" Based in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna 21st September 2026 Sanne - Great experience with Luigi!!! Photo of Kind Of Two Kind Of Two "They accompanied us brilliantly on the most important day of our lives" Based in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna 2nd August 2026 Javier d. V. - Private Wedding Photo of Alberto Aperi One man band Alberto Aperi One man band "Mesmerizing, captivating, and utterly enchanting! Alberto 's musical performance was an absolute delight to behold. From the moment he stepped onto the stage, his passion and talent shone brightly, filling the room with an electrifying energy. The seamless blend of technical skill and heartfelt expression left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to witness it. Bravo, Alberto for a truly unforgettable performance that touched the soul and lifted the spirits!" Based in Modena, Emilia-Romagna (23 miles from Bologna) Josh Bennet - Wedding day Photo of Serena Alessandri Serena Alessandri "Serena & LoveAffaire Duo were absolutely perfect for our small private party. Their music created an intimate, relaxed, and elegant atmosphere that made the evening feel truly special. Serena’s voice is beautiful and expressive, and the duo’s acoustic sound fit the space perfectly without ever feeling intrusive. They were professional, attentive, and wonderfully in tune with the mood of the guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better musical backdrop for such a personal celebration." Based in Ravenna, Emilia-Romagna (43 miles from Bologna) 11th January 2026 Emma Rodriguez - Private concert Photo of Brian V. Brian V. "Brian was nothing less than exceptional. I knew by his communication throughout the planning process he was a fantastic vendor but to meet him in person and see him perform was confirmation. He catered to every request, was so seamless to work with and is honestly just a wonderful person. Everyone at our wedding commented about his performance and he tailored each song to fit our ever changing atmosphere. Without a doubt, the best musician I have worked with. Trying to come up with an excuse to get him to Australia for our home event! Thank you so much Brian, you excel in your work and you're extremely talented. Thank you for making our day even more special." Based in Ravenna, Emilia-Romagna (43 miles from Bologna) Laura Morgan - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Hiring wedding ceremony musicians typically costs between €150 and €1,250+, 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.
