Reviews of Wedding Ceremony Musicians based near Seattle

5/5 from 5 reviews
Photo of Mehfil Nights Mehfil Nights "The guys arrived on time, and put the whole vibe together. It was my sister's wedding reception, and they got the whole crowd singing along with them. They were hugely focused on making sure the entire process was smooth. We had a little issue with another vendor, and their person on site stepped up and helped us find a creative solution. Cant recommend them enough!" Based in Seattle, Washington Advait Sharma - Home Photo of New Age Flamenco New Age Flamenco "I've heard the music of New Age Flamenco around Seattle over the years and we got lucky enough to have them at our Ceremony and Reception. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Oleg and New Age Flamenco. I won't even go into the basics [of being on time and other common sense], because these guys are simply the best in town. From their professionalism to how reliable they are to the standard of entertainment they provide, I will forever recommend them to anyone holding any event. Oleg wend above and beyond with planning the whole evening with us for literally hours and we couldn't have been more thankful. On top of that, I had the honor to perform with them at our wedding, which was one of my favorite memories through the evening! Thank you for everything guys! S.D." Based in Seattle, Washington S AND D - Acoustic guitar trio New Age Flamenco Photo of The Booker T Cookbook The Booker T Cookbook "All of this is an admittedly roundabout way of confessing that I wasn't prepared to be as delighted as I am with Go Tell It on the Mountain (Silkheart), an album of traditional hymns and originals with heaven-gazing titles by Booker T. Williams Jr., a New York-based tenor saxophonist originally from Seattle who performs as Booker T. The obsessive soul-searching implicit in the programming suggests an affinity with John Coltrane. But unlike too many of the saxophonists who aim for Coltrane's spiritual elevation, Booker T has a devilish sense of humor best illustrated by his "Say amen, Gracie" drollery on "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," a homey little melody he elongates and fragments with the comic élan of a Sonny Rollins. In fact, the classic album that Go Tell It on the Mountain most recalls is Way Out West, Rollins's 1958 album of cowboy tunes--and not just because Booker T, like Rollins before him, finds inspiration in unlikely places. It's also because Booker T's interaction with the bassist Saheb Sarbib and the drummer Andrew Cyrille is as carefree and almost as electrifying as Rollins's with Ray Brown and Shelly Manne thirty years ago (or better yet, with Wilbur Ware and Elvin Jones on A Night at the Village Vanguard, from around the same time). Despite the sarcasm implicit in Booker T's low-register bleats, his performances of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" and "Jesus Loves Me" exude sincerity, much the way Rollins's interpretations of oddball pop tunes do. For Booker T, as for Rollins, satire is a sign of respect, not condescension. Booker T is ecumenical: one of the album's most infectious cuts is "Halle Kalle Mazeltov," a hora whose modality he cagily exploits. The Spartan trio format means that Sarbib and Cyrille have to function as soloists as well as rhythm stalwarts, and both men shoulder the added burden gracefully, maintaining melodic continuity in a manner that bassists and drummers seldom do when they solo. Despite the length of some of the tracks (the title tune, which is just over sixteen minutes, is a Booker T original, not the folk song of the same name), Booker T's solos never deteriorate into self-indulgent braying. His sense of thematic exposition is too well developed for that-another cue he takes from Rollins. (And as if to underscore his lineage, the CD-only bonus track is Rollins's calypso "St. Thomas.") He switches to alto on his own "When Mama Cries I Cry," and his phrasing is impressively speechlike on this lighter horn." Based in Kent, Washington (16 miles from Seattle) Francis David - Album 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 (75 miles from Seattle) 30th March 2026 Derek & Julie Sanderson Photo of CelloWithElena CelloWithElena "There is a unique experience when listening to a live solo performance, and more so that of a deep and soulful sound of a cello. It approximates human expression at its most meaningful and expressive voice. Elena is a true and immersed practitioner, and there are no words that can adequately convey the impact of her performance. It simply has to be experienced. The cello, particularly when played as a singular instrument, is unforgiving, and in Elena, we have found a true master." Based in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada (75 miles from Seattle) Ray Elias 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 (104 miles from Seattle) Janice R - Summer music festival

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.
