Reviews of Wedding Ceremony Musicians available in Boston

5/5 from 4,854 reviews
Photo of WisehartPiper WisehartPiper "Kevin has been a band instructor for the Sutherland Pipe Band for many years, guiding us through every stage of our band’s lifecycle. He played a crucial role in developing and retaining members when we had just a few players, and he continued to support our improvement as we grew and returned to band competition. Whether you're learning tunes, preparing for a parade or contest, or simply trying to improve your playing, Kevin can help. He is an expert player and teacher for all aspects of piping, including instrument setup, tuning, expression, musicality, deportment, unison, and ensemble. More importantly, while Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and competent, he is equally personable and patient. Every pipe band and piper could benefit from Kevin’s instruction, and he would be my top choice for any event where a piper is needed." Based in Boston, Massachusetts 9th September 2026 Joe B - World class pipe band instructor Photo of Ken Gable Jazz Ken Gable Jazz "Thank you Ken for everything! For the guidance in picking our ceremony music to the day of and your kind words! It was a true joy to have you!" Based in Wrentham, Massachusetts (24 miles from Boston) 31st May 2026 Kayleigh and Chris - Private Wedding Photo of Randy McGravey Randy McGravey "I wanted a live guitarist for my wedding. I was looking for instrumentals for a pre-ceremony cocktail hour, and for the ceremony. My ceremony was OUTSIDE in December in New Hampshire. Being cold was a given, and when I first found Randy online and described my vision a bit, he didn't once hesitate about it being outside. He always got back to my emails the same day. He had great song suggestions when I didn't know what was typical. His acoustics were exceptional and moving and perfect, not to mention at a price that didn't break the bank. Easiest decision of my wedding was hiring Randy. 10/10 would recommend to anybody looking for instrumentals OR vocals." Based in Nashua, New Hampshire (35 miles from Boston) Holly - Wedding Photo of Ricky Lipinski - Professional Saxophonist Ricky Lipinski - Professional Saxophonist "Absolutely awesome! Ricky played saxophone for my daughter's wedding in Southampton, NY. He played for hours- both for the cocktail hour and during the reception. He is the best of the best! His music set the perfect atmosphere for the cocktail hour, and he had everyone dancing when he played his saxophone on the dance floor surrounded by the guests and bride and groom! There's not a song he doesn't know- he's amazing! Ricky is a true professional and we are so happy he was part of such a memorable day!" Based in Dover, New Hampshire (59 miles from Boston) 20th January 2026 Linda S - Private wedding Photo of A Touch Of Jazz Featuring Vin Cassotta A Touch Of Jazz Featuring Vin Cassotta "I am delighted to recommend Vincent Cassotta of Enfield CT in pursuit of his grant application for the Louis Armstrong Tribute with a Jazz Quartet performing at the Eli Whitney Elementary School. My previous role as the PK-12 Music Coordinator for the Enfield Public School District has brought me in direct contact with the professional, innovative, creative, and artistic musician and retired teacher Mr. Vincent Cassotta. I have witnessed first-hand the impact and quality of his quality music instruction provided for his thirty-nine years of teaching tenure in our community. To have the opportunity to bring the genre of American Jazz Music as a tribute to the legend of Louis Armstrong with quality professional musicians under Mr. Cassotta’s organization is a blessing to the young minds and ears of our elementary students, especially at a time when music education in Enfield offers less opportunities. This past Spring I had the opportunity to guest speak at Mr. Cassotta’s retirement party celebrating his many years of service in music education. In that speech I spoke about multiple areas beyond the collegial and professional relationship Mr. Cassotta, and I achieved since 1999. These in my opinion provide strong evidence for the Enfield Cultural Council to support this mission of this application fiscally. One of the points shared was that Mr. Cassotta balanced his career of music education and professional trumpet performing with incredible success throughout his career. Aside from the technical, logistical and time management responsibilities from such an endeavor, he achieved this success with never letting go of the care demonstrated to his students, family members, school building staff, and his music professional colleagues. The fact that he desires to continue to expand the music opportunities to students in Enfield now in his retirement resting years is evidence of his dedication to this art form and willingness to always educate. Furthermore Mr. Cassotta’s wealth of experience professionally as a performing musician and student of the trumpet is stellar. In his education Mr. Cassotta studied trumpet with Rolf Smedvig of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Empire Brass Quintet, Jimm Maxwell a NYC Studio Musician, Roger Murtha of the Hartford Symphony and Hartt School of Music, and Dan Patrylak of the Eastman Brass Quintet and UCONN. To continue, Mr. Cassotta was a freelance performer with Frank Sinatra, Manhattan Transfer, Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Vinton, Bob Hope, The Four Tops, Phil Woods, The Temptations, Sammy Davis Jr., Andy Williams, Franki Valli and the Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. Including numerous local and state pit orchestra’s and local well know jazz bands. He has also published works as a composer and arranger with KJOS music as well as multiple professional recordings. I strongly urge you to consider Mr. Cassotta’s application for this grant. Your support will help impact music education in Enfield and continue to make a meaningful impact on the lives of its students. Thank you for considering this recommendation. Sincerely, Mark F.

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.
