5/5 from 7532 reviews
Photo of eMiXa eMiXa "I highly recommend eMiXa! Communication was excellent from the very beginning. We came from Poland and decided to book her without ever meeting her in person, and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. Even though the time of our wedding ceremony changed, she was fully prepared, flexible, and everything went according to plan. Her live violin performance during the ceremony created a beautiful and emotional atmosphere that made our day even more special. It is clear that eMiXa is highly professional, passionate about her work, and truly dedicated to what she does. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding violinist." 17th July 2026 Karolina & Oskar, Poland 🇵🇱 - Wedding ceremony music Photo of Sax&Piano Wedding Music Sax&Piano Wedding Music "Simply extraordinary. We chose Sax & Piano for our wedding and we couldn’t have wished for anything better. From the very first contact they were professional, kind, and incredibly attentive to our requests. On the wedding day they created a magical atmosphere: the sound of the sax, combined with the elegance of the piano, accompanied every moment with emotion and refinement. Our guests were enchanted, and many of them asked us for their details. They perfectly captured the mood of the day, moving from romantic and delicate pieces to more lively moments during the aperitif. Outstanding musical quality and constant emotion. We are truly happy we chose them — they made our day even more special. We recommend them wholeheartedly." 19th August 2026 Anna e Christopher - Private Wedding Photo of Martin Bevacua - Violinist Martin Bevacua - Violinist "★★★★★ We were so happy to have Martin play at our wedding! From the very beginning, he was professional, friendly, and very easy to communicate with. His violin playing during the ceremony was absolutely beautiful and made the moment even more emotional and special. During the cocktail reception, he created the perfect atmosphere with a great mix of music that our guests really enjoyed. Martin is not only a fantastic musician, but also very professional and kind. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for beautiful live music for their wedding. Thank you, Martin, for being part of such an important day for us!" 1st September 2026 Philip - Private Wedding Photo of Christos Adamidis (Maisha Percussion) Christos Adamidis (Maisha Percussion) "Incredibly talented and great guy! Christos played percussion alongside our DJ and a saxophonist at our wedding. Despite little prep time and a bespoke playlist from us, Christos’’ percussion was an amazing addition to the DJ and really got the party started - playing alongside a range of music from blues / disco to house music. I also have no doubt Christos would’ve been a great choice to DJ himself alongside his percussion and would definitely recommend for any similar events. He is also a great guy and built a great connection with us and all our guests. Highly recommend!" 3rd September 2026 Lewis M - Private Wedding Photo of Ken Weiner | Jazz 🎷 Ken Weiner | Jazz 🎷 "Ken and his trio were excellent. Their playing really helped make the night. Highly recommended!" 21st September 2026 Bryan - Birthday party 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)

Frequently asked questions

The average price for wedding musicians on Gig Heaven is €440, with rates from €150 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.

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.

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.

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.
