5/5 from 7368 reviews
Photo of Ladies of Jazz and Swing Ladies of Jazz and Swing "Dagmar and her accompanist are the real deal. While deciding who to hire I watched her videos on here performing to larger crowds but we hired her to perform for just nine people prior to a dinner party and they did not disappoint. Dagmar's inimitable sultry vocals as well as her repertoire are perfect for this genre of music and her professional playful nature was felt by everyone. Her piano player was truly transcendent providing intervals of technique and skill you don't often find with accompanist. They also were very accommodating with song selection and timing during the evening. We all loved them!" 1st July 2026 Mark Scofield - Private Party Photo of Chanteur Mariage Chanteur Mariage "Kind, punctual, responsive, responsible, and fantastic performance!!. I was able to select a subset of beautiful songs from a large list of options provided by Zadkiel. Truly wonderful experience, highly recommended!" 1st July 2026 Carlos Diazgranados - Birthday serenade for wife Photo of The Graduates The Graduates "Michael and The Graduates Jazz Band were absolutely exceptional at our wedding. Their beautiful music elevated the entire experience and created the most incredible atmosphere. Our guests could not stop talking about how much they loved them! We are so grateful to Michael and the band for making our day feel even more special, elegant and unforgettable. Highly recommend!" 27th July 2026 Kristiane - Private Wedding Photo of Takae Piano Takae Piano "Takae played the piano for a family gathering near Rouen, and both adults and children were completely enchanted by her performance. Her Chopin was delicate, warm, and deeply moving. She was wonderful with the family, very professional, and punctual. We would love to have her play for us again!" 12th September 2026 Camille Laurent⁠ - Family Home Concert⁠ Photo of Elsa Violinist Elsa Violinist "It was a fantastic event with fantastic people, so smart and kind, the Dj Stephen Marsch very professional and prepared! And the venue so elegant and refined !" 18th September 2026 Elsa Martignoni - Wedding in Vevey Photo of Spiritus Mundi Crescentis Spiritus Mundi Crescentis "What a show last night!

Frequently asked questions

The average price for wedding musicians on Gig Heaven is €440, with rates from €140 to €1,550+. 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.

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 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.

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 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.
