Photo of Michael Shingo Crawford | Tokyo Violinist Michael Shingo Crawford | Tokyo Violinist "Michael is not only an incredible violinist, he went above and beyond by learning a song that we requested. As soon as he started playing it, both me and my dad burst into tears… My wedding was at a tricky venue and Michael went out of his way to get there and while I didn’t spend much time with him, he was the perfect addition to our special day. He is truly incredible at his craft and was highly professional. I would not hesitate to hire him in the future." Based in Tokyo 28th October 2025 Stephanie McGraw - Private Wedding Photo of Tokyo Sinfonia Tokyo Sinfonia "The sound of the Sinfonia did not remain neatly contained on the stage, but came directly to the audience in their seats to knock on the door of their hearts." Based in Tokyo Ongaku-no-Tomo music magazine - Tokyo Sinfonia Photo of Matt Baxter Matt Baxter "we booked Matt after seeing him sing one afternoon at a local venue , instantly we loved his voice and songs, we had a chat and booked him for our evening wedding celebration. Matt chatted to us before the day and was so attentive with what we wanted. On the evening all our guests loved him and we knew we had made the right choice. We couldn’t believe the value for money for a live singer it really was perfect for us . Anyone looking for a singer this guy is really good, I hope we see him again singing one day Thank you for helping make our day so special Matt Claire & John" Based in Leeds, England, United Kingdom 27th October 2026 Claire Shepherd - Wedding Photo of Carlo on Sax Carlo on Sax "honestly couldn’t recommend Carlo enough!

Frequently asked questions

Hiring wedding ceremony musicians typically costs between ¥26,000 and ¥215,000+, with an average of ¥70,000. 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 Japan 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.
