Photo of The Major B The Major B "Looking for a soulful artist to play at your event? Look no further. From the very beginning I had a good feeling about Bryan and Bella and they did not disappoint. Bella sings beautifully and Bryan is a real genius when it comes to instruments. We had a song request to start our wedding ceremony that was a bit unusual and they turned it into sth exceptionally beautiful that immediately created a great atmosphere. They also were great at the reception and we had so many guests commenting about their great music. Thanks again, Bryan and Bella, we are so glad we found you! You made our wedding very special. ♥️ V& K" Based in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia 12th September 2026 Vanessa - Wedding Photo of Jazz Bands Cologne —Jazz Central Agency Jazz Bands Cologne —Jazz Central Agency "Your performance brought tremendous atmosphere to our reception.

Based in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia 24th March 2026 Adriana - Private wedding celebraion Photo of Kathrin Eigendorf Kathrin Eigendorf "Ms. Eigendorf sang 3 songs at our church wedding. She not only sang beautifully and emotionally, she exceeded our expectations by far. She was very flexible (Cologne song) and by far offered the best value for money. She is reliable in communication and thoroughly professional. We recommend her with a very good conscience!" Translated from German Based in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia 4th December 2025 Ina Müller - Kirchliche Trauung Photo of Cameron Arndt Music Cameron Arndt Music "Cameron is a fantastic live musician! He made my 40th birthday party truly special. Cameron plays nonstop, hit after hit, and has a good sense of what the audience wants. He started with quiet background music, but later, he moved on to cool party music that got everyone singing along, dancing, and celebrating. All of the guests (100+) were thrilled, and many asked for his contact information. I'm looking forward to another event with Cameron and can highly recommend him!" Based in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia Benjamin Offerman - 40th Birthday Party Photo of Jolina Carl Jolina Carl "My wife and I (who are American) were holding our Wedding Welcome Party in Germany, and reached out Jolina to perform for it. We are so grateful that we found her, because she absolutely did an amazing job! Jolina performed covers of American hit songs for several hours and was so so good. She was the perfect complement to the party - she brought energy and is truly talented. We kept receiving compliments from all of our guests because of how good she was! As a side note, outside of her performance, she was great to work with. She is professional, friendly and flexible. If I had an opportunity to hire her again, I wouldnt think twice!"

Frequently asked questions

The average price for wedding musicians on Gig Heaven is €450, with rates from €150 to €1,500+. 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 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.

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.

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.

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.
