5/5 from 166 reviews
Photo of The Strip Lights The Strip Lights "Have seen The Strip Lights a couple of times before and hired them for a recent party. Brilliant musicians and everyone loved their music. Almost all 70+invites made it on to the dance floor including a couple in their early 80's. Fabulous night and they were excellent at communicating before the event too. Thanks guys! Lynda" Based in Cardiff, Wales 13th July 2026 Lynda Townley - Outdoor Birthday Party Photo of Callum Richards Acoustic Vocalist Callum Richards Acoustic Vocalist "Perfect as front and centre or background - very talented singer and guitarist. Highly recommend for weddings, corporate or any party!" Based in Cardiff, Wales 30th June 2026 Paul Stoneman - Corporate Client Photo of Aled Evans Solo Acoustic Covers Aled Evans Solo Acoustic Covers "We were extremely happy with Aled’s performance at our daughter’s 18th birthday celebrations. His professionalism stood out from the outset-he sent over a selection of curated playlists allowing us to tailor the music to suit the vibe of the evening. On the night he got the crowd up dancing and created a lively, joyful atmosphere - he even stayed a little longer and played extra songs on request. Thank you Aled for making an unforgettable night for our daughter’s special birthday." Based in Cardiff, Wales 22nd October 2025 Karen Jones Photo of John Godwin John Godwin "John played at our wedding and provided the perfect vibe we were after. Our friends and family loved his performance and we especially enjoyed him being part of our day." Based in Cardiff, Wales Tim Newman - Wedding Photo of The Trends Party Band The Trends Party Band "The Trends played at our wedding in May. We wanted a band and found The Trends through recommendations on Facebook. For our first dance they performed an acoustic version of N Trance ‘only love can set you free’ this went down a storm and we were blown away with how incredible this sounded. The dance floor was packed all night, all our guests commented how amazing the band were. I would highly recommend The Trends. We are looking forward to seeing you very soon. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️❤️" Based in Cardiff, Wales Zoe & Alan Morgan - Wedding Photo of Shirani Sax Shirani Sax "Shirani played at our wedding two weeks ago from start to finish she was brilliant. She kept in contact prior to the wedding ensuring we were able to have our choice of music played at the wedding especially our first dance . She was on time and the whole duration all our guests really enjoyed her performance and gave really good feedback. Her music on the Saxaphone was outstanding and we would highly recommend her and use her again in the future . Friendly, respectful and very professional. Thank you so much."

Frequently asked questions

Hiring wedding ceremony musicians typically costs between £120 and £950+, with an average of £340. 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.
