Based in Hedge End, England (5 miles from Southampton) 14th September 2026 Laura Jennings - Port Vale Football Club Photo of Poppy Neame - Classical Crossover Soprano Poppy Neame - Classical Crossover Soprano "Thank you so much for performing on Sunday, it was beautiful. You did us proud. Jackie would have loved it!" Based in New Forest, England (10 miles from Southampton) Alan - Funeral Photo of Murielefrenchsinger Murielefrenchsinger "It was a pleasure having Muriele Frenchsinger perform at this year's Concours des Légendes at Wilton. Her set was a great addition to the event, and she brought a lovely atmosphere that our guests really enjoyed. Muriele is professional, easy to work with, and a talented vocalist. I would highly recommend." Based in Winchester, England (12 miles from Southampton) 24th August 2026 Geoff Love - Concours des Legendes Wilton House Photo of The Bossard Quartet The Bossard Quartet "Absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend The Bossard Quartet! We booked The Bossard Quartet to play at our wedding originally scheduled for June 2020. With the pandemic, we had to re-schedule our wedding not once, but twice! Amy was really helpful both times and we were able to re-book for our eventual date very smoothly. We finally got married in June 2022, and TBQ played during our wedding ceremony and the drinks reception afterwards. We really loved the vast repertoire of songs that we could choose from which really helped make the ceremony our own! They sounded fantastic too. All our guests loved having TBQ play during the drinks reception - and particularly loved the Juke Box feature where guests could request any song they wanted from the huge repertoire! So many of our guests have commented about how great TBQ were. We are so grateful to you for making our wedding day extra special, and at such a reasonable price! Thank you!" Based in Winchester, England (12 miles from Southampton) Billie Christie - Wedding Photo of MayAlan Duo MayAlan Duo "Maya from the MayAlan Duo, spent time getting to know where each of our passions in music lay. From Madonna to Cinema Paradiso! From friendly, lively conversation about all sorts of things, it felt like we all together came up with music ideas that were very personal to us both. Just what you want on your wedding day! On the wedding day itself, the music was beautiful, their playing was superb. And they were totally professional. Our guests thought they were as talented and as likeable as we do." Based in Newport, England (15 miles from Southampton) A & S - Private Wedding Photo of Will Tierney (Acoustic Singer) Will Tierney (Acoustic Singer) "Thank you so much! I can not recommend Will enough, all songs were perfect and a range of upbeat and mellow. Will sang while everyone arrived and then while we were eating, we loved it so much we got off our feet and were all singing and dancing! Worth every penny!!" Based in Portsmouth, England (15 miles from Southampton) Kerry Hiller - 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.
