I don’t even know where to start, our cocktail hour was brought to life when Miguel started playing. It was absolutely perfect and we haven’t stopped talking about it since! If you’re considering a saxophonist for your wedding or any event then Miguel needs to be your guy. He played all the best songs & paired with our DJ perfectly. 10 out of 10!!!" 7th July 2026 Jess Hartley - Wedding - Cocktail Hour Photo of David Sax David Sax "Absolutely incredible! He was one of the highlights of our wedding. So many guests came up to us saying how amazing he was and asking where we found him. Super talented, easy to work with, and brought such a great vibe to the night. We’d book him again in a heartbeat." 2nd August 2026 Kevin Ansems - Wedding Photo of Bagpiping by Robert Burns Bagpiping by Robert Burns "Overall satisfaction 5.0 Professionalism 5.0 Accomodating 5.0 Talent 5.0 Likely to recommend 5.0 We hired Robert for our daughter's graduation party. She will be studying at the University of Edinburgh this fall. Robert provided the perfect ambiance for our guests' arrival with his amazing bagpiping in full Scottish attire and our guests all loved him! He was timely, professional and kind. Highly recommend!" 17th September 2026 Sophia - Graduation Party Photo of Ellen & Paddy sing Ella & Louis Ellen & Paddy sing Ella & Louis "A trio evoking the famous albums of 1956 et 1957: Ella & Louis, Ella & Louis Again), the trio is completed by César (in the role of Oscar Peterson). In a cellar bar in Paris 6th called the Tennessee, on a tiny stage but surrounded by a massive public already conquered by the group and the atmosphere they create - It feels like we are at a friends reunion. The first set is consecrated to the recreation of the mythical duo: («Can’t We Be Friends?», «Isn’t a Lovely Day?», «They Can’t Take That Away From Me») But through the filter of Paddy et Ellen. We are in homage and never in imitation (except for the odd humoristic wink to the original). They especially bring to life a music the gives great joy and pleasure The trio is perfect in total complicity Paddy as always full of colour and vigour. Ellen – better known for her soul repertoire – reveals herself to be an excellent jazz singer absolutely in Ella’s register. César, very serious behind them plays beautiful harmonies. A wonderfully entertaining evening." 18th September 2026 JazzHot magazine, France. - Public gig in Paris at Tenessee Bar Photo of Violinist for weddings and events Violinist for weddings and events "A Renata é uma ótima profissional, muito simpática e próativa. Além de muito talentosa musicalmente. Durante todo processo respondeu de forma rapida e preocupada com a playlist que estavamos escolhendo e tocou muito bem todas as musicas que haviamos escolhido. Das simples as complexas. A Renata foi muito pontual ao horário do evento e muito pacienciosa com os contra-tempos também. Teremos o prazer de contrata-la numa próxima oportunidade." 30th September 2026 Eduardo - Aniversário

Frequently asked questions

The average price for wedding musicians on Gig Heaven is $700, with rates from $210 to $2,450+. Pricing depends on the type of musician, the number of performers and how many parts of the wedding day are covered. All-day packages that span the ceremony, reception and evening entertainment typically offer better value than booking separately for each.

The most popular wedding musicians can be booked up many months in advance during wedding season. Gig Heaven recommends securing your preferred artists six to twelve months before the wedding date. Less popular dates or midweek weddings may have more availability at shorter notice.

Most wedding musicians are self-contained and provide their own instruments and PA system for standard wedding venues. For larger venues, outdoor ceremonies or marquees, additional amplification may be needed. It is a good idea to confirm equipment details with the musician.

Many wedding musicians are happy to learn a special song for a key moment such as walking down the aisle or the first dance. It is worth making any song requests well in advance to allow time for preparation and rehearsal.

The wedding musicians include a huge range of performers suited to different parts of a wedding day, including string quartets, harpists, pianists, acoustic duos, jazz bands, singers and party bands. Many musicians offer packages covering multiple parts of the day.

Most wedding musicians can perform during the ceremony (processional, signing of documents, recessional), the drinks reception, the wedding meal, and the evening party. Some artists offer all-day packages that cover multiple segments. It is advisable to browse profiles to find musicians who match the style and schedule of your wedding.
