5/5 from 344 reviews
Photo of Cavendish Brass Cavendish Brass "We really enjoyed working with you and the rest of the band, so please do pass on our thanks to every member. We especially appreciated you being so adaptable with the music and various requirements on the day." Based in Rochester, England (8 miles from Maidstone) Grayling Photo of Guy Watson Guy Watson "I can’t say enough words to express my gratitude to you Guy. You were amazing , on time, entertaining and definitely an amazing musician. You covered all my song requests that were my dad’s favourite, and even my personal Papa don’t preach which bought happy tears to my eyes. Thank you for making my Dad’s wake a memorable day that will be remembered for years to come." Based in Rochester, England (8 miles from Maidstone) Genielle Hall - Fathers Wake Photo of Cellist Miriam Louise Cox Cellist Miriam Louise Cox "Our father died aged 91 recently and as classical music had been his absolute joy throughout his life, we knew that we had to make it part of his small and very intimate funeral. How lucky (and delighted) we were to find that a professional, Miriam, lives locally and that she would like to be part of this celebration of his long life. Miriam could not have been more helpful or sensitive in helping us to choose and adapt four very special pieces and she played them beautifully, especially as unlike a wedding there was so little time for preparation. We shall never forget the sound of her playing her arrangement for cello of Ralph Vaughan Williams' Five Variants of 'Dives and Lazarus' as my father's coffin was lifted and borne out of the chapel, and continuing to hear it as we followed it to his final resting place. It was the one piece that he had ever mentioned as wishing to include at his funeral, and it meant a huge amount to have it played live by someone who cared very much about her role in the service. He would have loved to have heard it, and who knows, perhaps he did. Our heartfelt thanks, Miriam." Based in Cranbrook, England (12 miles from Maidstone) Bridget - Funeral Photo of Jaywhitesax Jaywhitesax "Absolutely blown away by @jaywhitesax tonight! Amazing music as always! Will 100% be having him back again soon! Thanks Jay! Awesome set?❤️" Based in South Benfleet, England (20 miles from Maidstone) Fattysbar20 - Bar/restaurant Photo of Experienced violinist Experienced violinist "I just wanted to thank you for playing at our wedding, we have had some lovely feedback. Everyone enjoyed your music!" Based in Edenbridge, England (20 miles from Maidstone) Annie & Steve - Wedding Photo of Chris Harper Chris Harper "Chris Harper was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding day! From the very beginning, Chris was professional, friendly, and incredibly easy to work with. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted for each part of the day — from the ceremony to the drinks reception — and he absolutely delivered. His voice is stunning, and his guitar playing brought such a warm, emotional atmosphere to our ceremony. Guests kept asking us “Who is your singer? He’s amazing!” — and they weren’t wrong. We even picked one of his original songs "Eyes Off You" to walk down the aisle to. It was truly perfect. Chris’s setlist was spot on — a great mix of romantic, relaxed, and upbeat songs that suited the vibe of the day perfectly. He read the room beautifully and kept the energy flowing without ever being overbearing. We genuinely can’t recommend Chris highly enough — he helped make our day so memorable, and we feel lucky to have had him as part of it. If you’re looking for a wedding singer who’s talented, professional, and a joy to have around, book Chris to be part of your special day!" Based in Crowborough, England (21 miles from Maidstone) Lauren and Joe Hall - Wedding

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.
