Photo of Sam Cooke Piano Sam Cooke Piano "I can thoroughly recommend Sam Cooke Piano who is thoroughly professional, has an excellent eye for detail and plays exceptionally." Based in Derby, England 9th September 2026 Tim Caldwell - Corporate Photo of Elise Pelo & Nadia Mair Elise Pelo & Nadia Mair "Yuko is a brilliant, charismatic musician. During our collaboration at Dronfield Music Tuition and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals I admired her proactiveness, organisational skills and most importantly her reliability as a team member. She is a very talented pianist and instrumental tutor and her maturity is evident." Based in Heanor, England (8 miles from Derby) Antigoni A - Hospital Performances Photo of Samson 65 - Live Act Samson 65 - Live Act "I booked Samson 65 for my brothers 40th surprise party. Professionalism and communication shone through from the initial booking till the actual party. Very fairly priced, playing songs from the 50's up to the present day, Samson 65 had the place rocking and guests up dancing all night. The atmosphere was brilliant. I would definitely recommend this duo and guarantee that you will not be disappointed." Based in Alfreton, England (13 miles from Derby) Amy Brooks - 40th Birthday Party Photo of Deep Down Brass Deep Down Brass "What a great band to have at my 50th party. From the initial booking, through finalising set lists to the performance was easy. As a customer, I felt listened to. The performance itself was brilliant and well admired by all the guests and the staff at the location! If you have a special event then get in touch with the band as they will elevate anything from the ordinary to the extraordinary!" Based in Nottingham, England (14 miles from Derby) 6th May 2026 Charlotte - 50th Birthday Party Photo of Martin Benjamin Martin Benjamin "Fabulous entertainment our guests loved you. Thank you very much Martin" Based in Nottingham, England (14 miles from Derby) Kathryn W - Wedding drinks reception Photo of Lady Rose Lady Rose "Lady Rose were our wedding entertainment and they were absolutely phenomenal. Jo's voice is incredible and their repertoire is extensive. Our first dance song was beautiful and all of our guests had a great time. We added on the DJ package and suggested the type of songs we enjoyed. Every song was great and they even took guest requests (at one point everyone was doing the Conga). We would 100% recommend Lady Rose for any event as the quality of their performance is outstanding. Their communication was great, they provided lots of options for songs & sets and made everything easy." Based in Nottingham, England (14 miles from Derby) Ruth Rockey - Private Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average price for wedding musicians on Gig Heaven is £350, with rates from £120 to £1,300+. 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.

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 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.
