Reviews of Wedding Ceremony Musicians available in Anchorage

5/5 from 4,702 reviews
Photo of Lilli Elliott - Cellist Lilli Elliott - Cellist "I hired Lilli and Matt relatively last minute. They were very helpful in coordinating songs to play. They arrived 30 minutes before the event and even stayed a little longer. They were very flexible when my aunt decided to rewrite some ideas. I appreciate her kindness, understanding and flexibility. They played beautifully and flawlessly. I would definitely recommend and hire again." Based in Anchorage, Alaska 28th May 2026 Maria - Funeral Photo of Jennifer Moersch, Cellist & Ensembles Jennifer Moersch, Cellist & Ensembles "Jennifer was great! Extremely patient with me and the last minute changes, came on time, played beautifully and left a great impression on all the attendees. I will definitely recommend her if anyone ever needs a cellist in Vancouver." Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (1,325 miles from Anchorage) 25th May 2026 Shari-Jo Robinson - Celebration of Life Photo of Mark Hildebrand Mark Hildebrand "It was treat to see Mark perform at the Sumner festival I attended. He is clearly dedicated to his craft and his hard work shows through in his skill. His guitar playing in particular is second to none. I also thoroughly enjoyed his honest and inclusive approach to other performers. His great talent and lack of ego are utterly refreshing." Based in Langley, British Columbia, Canada (1,346 miles from Anchorage) Janice R - Summer music festival Photo of Paul Wainwright Paul Wainwright "We had the absolute pleasure of hiring Paul Wainright for our business grand opening in Victoria, BC, and he absolutely blew everyone away! From the moment Paul started playing, it was clear we were in the presence of exceptional talent. His saxophone skills are world-class — smooth, soulful, and incredibly dynamic. Whether he was delivering silky smooth jazz standards, upbeat contemporary hits, or energetic dance numbers, Paul's playing was flawless and perfectly suited to every moment of the event. What truly sets Paul apart is his incredible vocal ability and the impressive diversity of his musical repertoire. He seamlessly transitions between genres, keeping the energy high and the crowd fully engaged throughout the entire evening. His solo performances are captivating and intimate, while his collaborative moments (when he brought in backing tracks or interacted with the guests) felt electric and professional. Paul is not only an amazingly talented musician but also a true professional - punctual, personable, and genuinely invested in making our grand opening a memorable success. He read the room perfectly and adapted his set on the fly to keep the vibe exactly where we wanted it. If you're looking for a saxophonist musician (or vocalist) in Victoria, BC who can elevate any event with top-tier musicianship, incredible range, and pure stage presence, look no further than Paul Wainright. We couldn't recommend him more highly - he was the highlight of our grand opening and helped make it an unforgettable night! Thank you, Paul!" Based in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada (1,360 miles from Anchorage) 30th March 2026 Derek & Julie Sanderson Photo of Nehaa Batraa Nehaa Batraa "Enjoyed listening your songs and clips This will be entertaining for us. Exploring just now" Based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (1,433 miles from Anchorage) Kamala - Amar geeta Photo of String Violin Duo Quora String Violin Duo Quora "Quora strings played at The Edward in the summer. We are looking forward to having them again. They were professional, friendly and so talented. They interacted well with the audience and had a large repertoire. Our residents were so impressed by their musical talent. I would highly recommend this duo to anyone."

Frequently asked questions

Hiring wedding ceremony musicians typically costs between $150 and $1,350+, with an average of $450. 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.
