Photo of Jazz Bands Monaco—Jazz Central Agency Jazz Bands Monaco—Jazz Central Agency "The performance was absolutely outstanding. Everything was arranged professionally, and the music created a sophisticated atmosphere that perfectly matched our event. We received many compliments from our guests." 3rd July 2026 Daniella de Jong - Corporate Reception Photo of Soulwaves Band Soulwaves Band "Soulwaves, you did a grand job. Very broad range of songs for my very demanding guests. Thank you so much for making the night so special for me and my friends and family. high class service!" 20th August 2026 Kavya Iyer - Private Event Photo of Jesús Gómez Guitarist Jesús Gómez Guitarist "Jesus was a super easy guy to work with. A gentleman. He was very accommodating and as you can imagine with a private wedding somtimes the timings can be off or over runs with speeches but Jesus was vwry understanding and patient. Totally positive experience." 22nd August 2026 Ollie Holmes - Private Wedding Photo of Franck le Chanteur Franck le Chanteur "I booked Franck recently for a launch day for a pharmacy I work in. From start to finish, he couldn't have been easier to deal with. On the day, we were blown away! He was simply amazing. Crooning covers interspersed with some French music. The perfect mix. So many of our customers were asking - who is this guy?! They were loving him. We asked him to stay on and play for an extra 2 hours. Not a problem, he agreed immediately. I would definitely recommend Franck to anyone thinking of booking him." 22nd September 2026 Dervla Hynes - Pure Pharmacy (Naas branch) Photo of Midnight Shakers Midnight Shakers "We had the pleasure of listening to Midnight Shakers Musical Duo on our recent birthday/ Wedding Anniversary cruise. They played such an eclectic set of music, at each performance, and each set was unique. Daisy and JJ were extremely personable and interacted with the audience making everyone feel part of the performance. They definitely came across as doing something they love and it wasn't 'just a job'. They made our celebratory cruise so special and we have cherished memories thanks to both Daisy and JJ." 3rd October 2026 Sinéad McCarthy - Celebrity Constellation Photo of Nícolàs “El Rom” Nícolàs “El Rom” "Absolutely fantastic. Right up there with performances we saw in Spain." 4th October 2026 Claudia D - Sun City Anthem at Merrill Ranch

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

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 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.

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.
