Photo of Saxyfone Saxyfone "Filiberto was incredible! Super responsive, showed up early, played his heart out, accommodating, friendly, and sooo much fun. He made our wedding so special and all of our guests loved his performance. Highly highly recommend booking Filiberto."

Based in Covina, California (30 miles from Riverside) Scott - Farmers market- South Irvine Photo of Bagpiper for Hire Bagpiper for Hire "David is an experienced World Class Bagpiper, and one of the very talented and amazing performers we hired to perform at our 50th Golden and Royal Wedding Anniversary Celebration. He was very professional, friendly, and did everything we requested. His Bagpipe playing was incredible, and everyone who attended our event enjoyed his performance. The feedback from our guests is He made our event a truly Royal and amazing Celebration which will remain etched in our memories. Thank you very much, David" Based in Buena Park, California (35 miles from Riverside) Shirley H. - 50th Golden and Royal Wedding Anniversary Photo of Seps' Saxophone Experience Seps' Saxophone Experience "Seps is the best!!! My husband and I got married last week at Falkner Winery in Temecula and Seps was the absolute star of the show! All of my guests have been raving about how good he was and made the night so unique and unforgettable. He was incredibly easy to work with throughout the wedding planning process, and I did not personally have to handle any of the coordination or communication with our venues DJ. Seps and him met multiple times prior to the big day to make sure the grand entrance, dinner, and reception were seamless. My husband and I are big DJ people, but we knew that having a live instrument to pair with the music would make the experience more interactive and fun. Seps absolutely brought that and everyone was on their feet the entire night thanks to him! He’s incredibly professional, easy to communicate with, and friendly with other wedding guests. Do yourself a favor, and book with Seps! The price for the value he adds is an incredible deal and you won’t regret working with him. He will elevate your event and be the highlight of the night!"

They sure know how to engage the guest and WOW us with their fluidity in song and dance. They would be my first go to when hiring for a Luau. I used them for a corporate event and would use them for a personal event with confidence.

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.
