Photo of Michael Green Michael Green "Michael was excellent and provided the perfect entertainment for a gathering of family and friends. The music was superb and Michael was engaging and charming. I would not hesitate to recommend him." Based in Bedford, England 29th September 2026 Stephen Potter - Birthday Party Photo of Cool Solo Sax Cool Solo Sax "What a fantastic guy and a brilliant saxophonist. Great tracks and a superb sound. Highly recommend." Based in Bedford, England 29th August 2026 Dave Etheridge - 60th Birthday Bash Photo of Wiseiris Wiseiris "I've seen wiseiris perform before and he also is based near us. It was a no brainer to hire him for our event. Communication leading up to the event was perfect with everything laid out. He arrived early to the venue for soundcheck and delivered an amazing set. If you want a multi talented musician with songs you can feel I would recommend wiseiris in a heart beat and we can't wait to have him back to perform for us in 2026." Based in Bedford, England 27th December 2025 Mariam Daniel - Love music hate racism Luton Photo of Max Thomson / TOMMO Max Thomson / TOMMO "We invited Max in for a small selection of piano pieces so we could see what his performances would be like. We were so impressed! The music filled the large reception area with delight, and the small audience were captivated. Max was a natural on the keys, he played with care and attention, and his personality shone through. The residents commented on his polite manner and his maturity for such a young age. Before Max left, he took the time to chat with the residents, and we discussed two future bookings before Christmas. One resident chose Max to play on her birthday. Snap this great entertainer up before he is fully booked - you won't be disappointed."

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.
