5/5 from 86 reviews
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 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 Billie Christie - Wedding Photo of Sean Mychaels Sean Mychaels "Sean was fantastic from start to finish. Easy to deal with, really talented and the music went down brilliantly with everyone. He made our NYE a special one!" Based in Hedge End, England (11 miles from Winchester) 14th September 2026 Laura Jennings - Port Vale Football Club Photo of Kate Stevens - Live Lounge Kate Stevens - Live Lounge "Kate Stevens has a beautiful and mellifluous voice that was pitch perfect at the the wedding. Not only that Kate is a gorgeous person and looks stunning! Kate was very conscientious in the build up to the event and went out of her way to ensure that the day went smoothly ,a very professional performer. The singing was so good that both the bride and groom were reduced to tears... can't say better than that. I would recommend Kate Stevens to anyone and would be happy to be contacted for a reference." Based in Andover, England (13 miles from Winchester) Tim Belson - Wedding Photo of Poppy Neame - Classical Crossover Soprano Poppy Neame - Classical Crossover Soprano "Thank you so much for performing on Sunday, it was beautiful.

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!!"

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.
