Photo of Drew Stansall ex The Specials Drew Stansall ex The Specials "Drew played at our wedding on 6/9/26 and it was absolutely amazing. We gave him a few songs we wanted and left the rest upto him, he built the atmosphere with each sing and led us perfectly into our reception. Didn’t want his set to end. Can not recommend highly enough. Really nice guy and a true professional performer 👌🏼👌🏼" Based in Leicester, England 8th September 2026 Nick & Vicki Moy - Wedding Photo of Daniel Proud Daniel Proud "Daniel was very professional, punctual and provided a high-quality performance to my guests, I will definitely be booking him again" Based in Leicester, England Chris W - Private Function Photo of Alex Lamb - Pianist Alex Lamb - Pianist "Alex was amazing. He played the piano at my daughter's wedding at Prestwold Hall. From the moment we booked him , he kept in touch and took the time to find out about the style of music we wanted, including our requests for some specific tunes. He sent us a video of himself playing the tunes so we got a real feel for how it would sound on the day. He was more than happy with any changes we made closer to the big day. He arrived promptly at the wedding venue, smartly dressed and was very friendly and approachable. He was right on cue with all the music changes and many of the guests conveyed to us how good Alex was. We cannot highly recommend him enough. Thank you Alex for being part of our special day." Based in West Bridgford, England (20 miles from Leicester) 4th September 2026 Liz Bridge - Wedding Photo of VINCENT sings ELVIS VINCENT sings ELVIS "We hired Vincent to perform at my dad's birthday celebration, and he was absolutely fantastic. From the moment he started singing, everyone was blown away—he truly has the voice of an angel. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he's also such a warm, friendly, and genuine person who made the whole experience even more special. He created an amazing atmosphere, had everyone singing along, and made my dad's birthday one to remember. I honestly couldn't recommend Vincent highly enough. If you're thinking of booking him, don't hesitate—you won't be disappointed!" Based in Corby, England (21 miles from Leicester) 4th August 2026 Ruby O’brien - 60th birthday Photo of Martin Benjamin Martin Benjamin "Fabulous entertainment our guests loved you. Thank you very much Martin" Based in Nottingham, England (22 miles from Leicester) Kathryn W - Wedding drinks reception Photo of Lady Rose Lady Rose "Lady Rose were our wedding entertainment and they were absolutely phenomenal. Jo's voice is incredible and their repertoire is extensive. Our first dance song was beautiful and all of our guests had a great time. We added on the DJ package and suggested the type of songs we enjoyed. Every song was great and they even took guest requests (at one point everyone was doing the Conga). We would 100% recommend Lady Rose for any event as the quality of their performance is outstanding. Their communication was great, they provided lots of options for songs & sets and made everything easy." Based in Nottingham, England (22 miles from Leicester) Ruth Rockey - Private Wedding

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.
