Photo of Melanie Dawn Jones, Cello Melanie Dawn Jones, Cello "Thank you so much Melanie! "Moon River" made my day and the guests thought you played beautifully. Take care and best wishes, Teresa and David" Based in Inverness, Scotland (83 miles from Aberdeen) 24th March 2026 Teresa - Background Music and Wedding Ceremony Photo of Bagpiper Jason Faulkner Bagpiper Jason Faulkner "Jason playing for us at Clava Cairns was one the highlights of our splendid road trip with our classic cars through the Highlands. A moment of real emotions. Some of my participants thanked me for this moment again when leaving for home. We are all very grateful to you!" Based in Inverness, Scotland (83 miles from Aberdeen) Jean-François P - Private gathering Photo of Spud the piper Spud the piper "We have been working alongside Spud for many years. The quality of his work is matched by his fantastic personality that adds great character and fun to any wedding. We only ever hear of brilliant reviews and our Good Highland Team are always delighted to know that Spud is the piper!!" Based in Inverness, Scotland (83 miles from Aberdeen) Yvonne Crook - Good Highland Food Photo of Chasing Vinyl Chasing Vinyl "WOW! We are all still buzzing over our wedding day and I can't thank you both for blowing the roof off (A hard thing to do outdoors!!). Myself and Elaine really had the wedding of our dreams and your music and energy was simply beautiful. We really will be forever grateful to you both for making it so memorable. All the talent, warmth, and little personal touches you both brought to the day were very much appreciated; my Mum and the kids were delighted to be part of the band for one day only." Based in Edinburgh, Scotland (92 miles from Aberdeen) Edwin & Elaine - Wedding Party Photo of Scotia Strings Scotia Strings "Just a note to say 'thank you' for Scotia String's performance which my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed and which many of our guests commented favourably on. As we discussed when booking, this is the second time you have provided music for us, the previous time around four years ago at The Gleneagles Hotel for our 40th Wedding Anniversary. With our very best wishes to you and your fellow musicians."

Frequently asked questions

Hiring wedding ceremony musicians typically costs between £120 and £1,050+, with an average of £330. 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.
