Photo of Wade Engelbrecht (Angel) Wade Engelbrecht (Angel) "We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding officiant to celebrate our wedding day. Wade is a professional, friendly and lighthearted person. Having him was a huge blessing us. He made everything so nice and easy for everyone. He did not disappoint. 10/10 you will not regret it." Based in Sarasota, Florida Cynthia and Isaac Guobadia - Private Wedding Photo of Branco Costa Branco Costa "I just saw Branco at Waverly’s restaurant in Englewood last night. I love saxophone music, and even though my tastes lean towards urban blues and New Orleans boogie I was completely captivated by Branco’s playing. If you need some mellow but engaging music for your event, Branco is your man." Based in North Port, Florida (27 miles from Sarasota) 27th April 2026 Mike Pappas - Restaurant / Bar Photo of Ember Strings LLC Ember Strings LLC "Ember Strings was apart of our beautiful wedding ceremony in Mexico Beach, FL, in OCT 2022. The string trio played for 30 mins prior to the ceremony, and then played the processional songs for the family and us brides to walk down the aisle. They were amazing, and I highly recommend them for any intimate event! They traveled all the way from Tampa and were very easy to work with and coordinate efforts. Thank you, Ember Strings!" Based in St. Petersburg, Florida (31 miles from Sarasota) 27th October 2026 Jen B - Wedding Photo of Accordion Player Accordion Player "Billy Gumbo Murphy was great! Just what we needed and what we were anticipating! 10 out of 10 Billy kept us rocking along happily tapping and clapping!! Thank YOU!" Based in Seminole, Florida (38 miles from Sarasota) 11th June 2026 Phil Asbury - House party/ birthday 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 (42 miles from Sarasota) 15th October 2026 Nathalia Assaad - Lutz wedding Photo of Saxophone and piano live music Saxophone and piano live music "Excellence was seen in real time I had the pleasure to work with the saxophone player this weekend. His eloquent playing skills and his excellent ability to catch the music was outstanding. He provided the soundtrack for the wedding as well as assisting me when I was DJin the event. I'm looking forward to working with him soon in the future and I would definitely recommend using his services for your next event."

Frequently asked questions

Hiring wedding ceremony musicians typically costs between $160 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.
