A guide to booking

Hire Wedding Musicians in the United Kingdom

Wedding musicians in the United Kingdom offer live music for every part of your celebration, from intimate ceremony performances to high-energy reception entertainment. These performers include solo instrumentalists, acoustic duos, jazz groups, classical ensembles and larger bands, giving you options to match any venue size or musical preference.

Choosing Live Music for Your Wedding

The right musicians depend on your venue, guest numbers and the mood you want at each stage of the day. Acoustic and classical performers work well for ceremonies and drinks receptions, while larger acts with fuller sound suit evening parties. Many wedding performers offer multi-part packages, so a single booking can cover several hours across different stages of the celebration. Ask about setup requirements, repertoire flexibility and whether the act provides their own sound equipment.

Photo of Louise Golbey - Jazz, Soul, Pop, Disco Louise Golbey - Jazz, Soul, Pop, Disco "I first met Louise at a wedding showcase over 10 years ago, and from that moment she was completely embedded in my brain! She has such a wonderfully soulful, distinctive voice, and I remember knowing there and then that whenever my wedding day came, I wanted her to be the one performing. Fast forward more than a decade, and having Louise and the quartet there on our wedding day was honestly so special. They were absolutely incredible and created the most beautiful atmosphere from the moment they started playing. Hearing that voice I had remembered all those years ago, now singing at our wedding, was a real full-circle moment for me. The quartet were phenomenal – so talented, polished and effortlessly brilliant. The music brought so much warmth and emotion to the day, and so many of our guests commented on just how amazing they were. Louise, you were every bit as wonderful as I remembered and more. It was genuinely a dream to finally have you perform at our wedding after all these years. Thank you to you and the whole quartet and Terrron the DJ for being such a special part of our day and for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever. 🤍 We couldn’t recommend you highly enough!

Lots of guests commented and said that you were an absolute vibe! You really brought the party to fruition ??. highly recommended." Based in Canterbury, England 1st November 2026 Amanda H Photo of Steve Sax Steve Sax "We saw Steve play at a friend's Christening and thought he was very good at getting people to dance and have a good time so I spoke to Steve after the event and got his contact details. That evening, I spoke to Steve to find out if he was available for our wedding day and then we agreed on the price. In the days leading up to the wedding, I spoke to Steve a couple of times to discuss the kind of songs he could play but this was no trouble at all because Steve mentioned that he would play anything we wanted. On the day of our wedding, Steve played a 2 hour set after the wedding finished and during the change over to the reception party. He entertained the guests really well, everyone spoke highly of Steve and said it was a really good idea to have him play. We are really happy to have had Steve play at our wedding and would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you for making our day memorable 🫶🏽.

From the moment we saw his video on the site we knew he was exactly what we were looking for at our event. Felix arrived early and was professional throughout, his performance was even more fantastic than we had hoped for, it fit the mood of the evening and our guests loved every minute."

From start to finish, the vibes were incredible, Matt created the perfect atmosphere and making our wedding breakfast feel even more magical. All of our guests said he was one of the highlights from our day! If you’re looking for a talented singer and guitarist who can create amazing vibes, deliver a truly incredible performance and make your wedding feel extra special then Matt is the one! He brought the perfect blend of talent, atmosphere and personal touches to our day. Thank you so much Matt for being such a big part of our day" Based in Leeds, England 28th October 2026 Rebecca Shave - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average price for wedding musicians on Gig Heaven is £330, with rates from £120 to £1,200+. 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.
