Reviews of Wedding Ceremony Musicians available in Japan

5/5 from 4,668 reviews
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 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 Dos Arcs Duo Dos Arcs Duo "Dos Arcs Duo were 100/10 they helped us have the wedding of our dreams. They absolutely captured the moment and played beautifully. Not only were we impressed, all of our guests were brought to tears during our wedding ceremony… including our wedding planner because of the music! They also only had a few days to prepare the custom music we selected. To recommend Dos Arcos is the easiest choice while planning a wedding. Look no further because there isn’t a better duet! We love Dos Arcos and will forever be honored they played at our wedding."

If you’re looking for a talented singer and guitarist who can create amazing vibes, deliver a truly incredible performance and make your wedding feel extra special then Matt is the one!

Frequently asked questions

Hiring wedding ceremony musicians typically costs between ¥24,500 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.
