Photo of Professional Singer and Pianist Professional Singer and Pianist "Our wedding day on Sunday, 2 October was one of the best days either of us have ever experienced, and that is due in large part to you. From the moment we first met you, you put us at ease on being able to provide our music for the day. Your timely feedback and input during the planning stages was so useful, then finally you knocked it out the park on our wedding day! Thank you for the splendid way you executed your job and delighted us and our guests. Our family and friends are still complimenting us on the day and your input was a big part of that success, and for that we will be forever grateful. Thank you again for making our special day that little bit extra special. If there is any customer review platform that we can give you a positive review on let us know we would be happy to do so. Many thanks again!

She entered as a surprise for our hen playing the hens favourite song at our request and had her in tears of happiness! So talented, so friendly and professional. Having a sax player, playing your favourite type of music at your own personal event felt like such a luxury touch to the evening! I cannot wait to book Madhu again for another event. Highly recommend for a different experience that will keep your guests buzzing and dancing xx" Based in Chelmsford, England (37 miles from Ipswich) Jasmine - Hen Party Photo of Gail Ford Gail Ford "We had the pleasure of having the wonderful Gail play the piano during our Wedding cocktail reception. Gail played absolutely beautifully and our guests mentioned that she was the perfect addition. Her repertoire of songs was endless and she was prepared to learn any song that we had requested. From the moment we booked Gail, she was polite, friendly and professional. We would definitely recommend Gail at your wedding or any event."

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.
