5/5 from 5,503 reviews
Photo of Flamenco & Latin Fusion: Music & Dance Flamenco & Latin Fusion: Music & Dance "We had the BEST time thanks to this talented group of musicians! I mean, the food was great too, but by far they were the stars of the evening. I cannot say enough good things about them, from the dancer's beautiful outfit, their punctuality, their enthusiasm, their professionalism. I sent them a song "wishlist" ahead of time, and nearly all of the songs were either sung or the original versions played during their break. The singer was sensational, he also played the cajón (percussion), then there was the beautiful flamenco dancer who also did the "palmas" (hand clapping) and ended up dancing the Sevilllnas with a group of us (we had forgotten some of the steps, so she helped us, like a teacher!), and then of course the guitarist who was absolutely brilliant, too. Our event would not have been as special without them. Although some of the songs they sang/played came from the wishlist, others came from the musicians themselves who, understanding their audience, came up with songs that surprised and delighted us. I am actually trying to come up with a made-up celebration to have them come back to Lutz. Paying off a credit card maybe? Anyway, this was an unforgetable party. Thank you, Samuel, for putting it all together so brilliantly!" Based in Tampa, Florida 15th October 2026 Nathalia Assaad - Lutz wedding Photo of Ralph Russell Saxophone Ralph Russell Saxophone "Ralph was wonderful! Ralph was amazing! He adapted so well to the mood of our party. He was able to play Christmas song lyrics on the screen so we could sing along at our Christmas party. He made the night a hit! He even stayed longer than planned because everyone was having such a nice time. Highly recommend him!" Based in Chicago, Illinois 12th October 2026 Valerie M. - Birthday Celebration Photo of Soo Sings Soo Sings "Holiday Party for Professional Network Soo did an amazing job for our Senior Club Holiday Celebration. She is one of the most versatile performers EVER. She got the audience involved and they loved her!! Never thought I would see an 84 year old woman play tambourine and do squat-drops to the floor. Lots of fun for all." Based in San Diego, California 7th October 2026 Marilyn M. - Holiday Party / Holiday Musician Photo of Bradley Cohen Music Bradley Cohen Music "Had the pleasure hiring Bradley to perform at our wedding and it was the HIGHLIGHT of the night!!!! We’ve never been complimented so much on how fun our dance floor and background music was!" Based in Palm Coast, Florida 7th October 2026 Michelle Daly - Wedding Photo of Rebeca Obermeier Rebeca Obermeier "Rebeca gave a elegant touch to our ceremony Rebeca was absolutely wonderful! She played at our wedding, and everything was beautiful from start to finish. She was so kind, accommodating, and easy to work with throughout the planning process. Her violin performance added such an elegant and emotional touch to our ceremony, and so many of our guests complimented her music. She is incredibly talented, professional, and truly helped make our day even more special. I would highly recommend Rebeca to anyone looking for a violinist for their event. Thank you again for being part of our wedding! ❤️" Based in Orlando, Florida 5th October 2026 Kassandra - Private Wedding Photo of Nícolàs “El Rom” Nícolàs “El Rom” "Absolutely fantastic.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring wedding ceremony musicians typically costs between $120 and $1,200+, with an average of $390. 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 in the United States 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.
