Frequently asked questions

Hiring wedding ceremony musicians typically costs between £120 and £950+, 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.
