Photo of Nadia Violin Nadia Violin "Very nice lady, Played beautifully! Highly recommend her! (10 / 10)" Based in Ripon, England Michael - Romantic violin for private event Photo of Matt Baxter Matt Baxter "Absolutely fantastic we had Matt for our wedding and from start to finish he made everything incredibly easy. His performance was fantastic, as was his voice and how he engaged with our guests if you’re considering booking Matt, go for it you will not be disappointed! An incredibly talented artist." Based in Leeds, England 19th August 2026 Adam Lofthouse - Wedding Photo of Mark Your Occasion – Live Vocalist Mark Your Occasion – Live Vocalist "Mark brought the energy up right after dinner when there was a lull." Based in Ilkley, England 20th March 2026 Graham - Singing Waiters Photo of Katy James Katy James "We really loved having Katy perform a set at our wedding. I was actually very last minute with our song choices and Katy managed to include them all in with no hesitation - Such a beautiful voice and our guests were very impressed. Thanks again Katy!" Based in Leeds, England Faye D - Wedding Reception Photo of Peter Bull Peter Bull "We are so glad that we booked Peter to perform at our wedding drinks reception. He played music from a range of eras, and it was ideal for our festive winter wedding in a Medieval venue. We knew he’d be perfect as soon as we listened to some of his sample tracks online, and in person he was even better. Peter provided a great atmosphere, he was friendly and got on well with the guests. Peter phoned a couple of weeks before the event to discuss our preferences for musical eras and instruments. We asked for a range of things (including a few Christmas carols), with slightly more hurdy gurdy, as it’s our favourite period instrument. Our guests loved Peter’s performance, as did we, and we 100% recommend him for events. We’ve had lots of comments afterwards from people saying how great he was. Thank you, Peter, for helping to make our day so memorable and festive" Based in Leeds, England Cathy Charlton Wedding at Askham Hall, Cumbria - Wedding Photo of Brad Mack Brad Mack "Brad is always a first choice for live entertainment – We can’t get enough! From event host to performer, Brad always knows how to work the crowd. His professional quality performances bring something new to our events – everyone leaves with a smile on their faces. We can’t wait to have him back again soon!" Based in Leeds, England Kirklees Council - Kirklees Council Events

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.
