Photo of Matthew Zelenin Music Matthew Zelenin Music "Matthew was great! He was extremely talented and professional. We requested multiple songs for him to learn and he played them all perfectly! He was extremely accommodating. He brought all his equipment, arrived early for set up, and executed everything perfectly. We will definitely use him again for future events and recommend him to friends!" Based in Austin, Texas 21st March 2026 Ashley - Private Wedding Photo of Rich Stolp Music Rich Stolp Music "Rich was excellent in his professionalism from the beginning to end of the process. We had a short notice event in which we were looking for a musician. Rich was excellent in completing our company paperwork in a timely manner and was very responsive. The music and set up was smooth and excellent. Rich provided us with a great ambiance of live music at our event. We will certainly book him for future events and would recommend his musical talents." Based in Austin, Texas 3rd February 2026 Treven P. - Grand Opening - Community Amenity Center Photo of Steel Drum Player Steel Drum Player "When planning my daughter's wedding, which was always destined to be a multicultural blend of music genres, styles, and rhythmic offerings, I was set on finding that flair to entertain our guests with a little taste of their own familiar music and I happened upon the One Man Steel Drum Band on a popular gig website. With the union of the kids spanning the globe and including West Indian, Latin, and Russian culture, this was a perfect choice! Upon establishing contact with John Skoczen, I realized very quickly that he would be an effective and professional communicator who cared not only about his role in our event but also the appeal of such things as attire, the set list, any particular requests related to the guests, and the full gamut of helping us to make our event delightful. John consistently maintained contact with me regarding updates, directions, and special elements. No portions of our interactions were confusing for me. He was so patient and understanding upon arriving at the venue whereas I was as a scattered and frazzled mother of the bride and coordinator. He quickly became like family, AND his talent is out of this world! I will definitely be booking John again for a future occasion. Allie B.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring wedding ceremony musicians typically costs between $140 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.
