Photo of The Brian Kelly Band The Brian Kelly Band "These guys are fantastic! Such musicianship and an excellent range of songs, and cracking guitar solos. Brian is also incredibly professional and easy-going. One of my top band choices for the central belt every time." Based in Edinburgh, Scotland 3rd February 2026 Alex - Brass Neck Booking agency Photo of Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company "Saw Daniel and co last night at Eden Court Theatre in Inverness. My eyes were sparkling with energy and excitement as Daniel and band were simply amazing Full of passion for there individual crafts from the clapping to the music and the very gifted flamenco dancer.. Never have i seen such a fabulous show from start to finish the energy in the theatre was electric and buzzing..they gave there best and Inverness loved it greatly. Please come back soon. Best money i have ever spent. Bravo to you all." Based in Edinburgh, Scotland Jan campbell Photo of Chasing Vinyl Chasing Vinyl "WOW! We are all still buzzing over our wedding day and I can't thank you both for blowing the roof off (A hard thing to do outdoors!!). Myself and Elaine really had the wedding of our dreams and your music and energy was simply beautiful. We really will be forever grateful to you both for making it so memorable. All the talent, warmth, and little personal touches you both brought to the day were very much appreciated; my Mum and the kids were delighted to be part of the band for one day only." Based in Edinburgh, Scotland Edwin & Elaine - Wedding Party Photo of Annasach Ceilidh Band Annasach Ceilidh Band "The Annasach Ceilidh Band made the evening of our wedding in The Netherlands unforgettable, motivating Dutch and French feet alike to dance the Scottish steps. Even my 62-year-old aunt was on her feet all evening and remarked at the end that from now on, she only wants Scottish weddings. The band also dealt very professionally with some unforeseen circumstances, rebooking their own flights when their original flights were cancelled, taking a lot of stress away from us. I will happily recommend them for any wedding or party in Scotland or abroad, and look forward to visiting one of their Ceilidhs in Edinburgh when we next find ourselves there!" Based in Edinburgh, Scotland Barbara - Wedding Photo of Scotia Strings Scotia Strings "Just a note to say 'thank you' for Scotia String's performance which my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed and which many of our guests commented favourably on. As we discussed when booking, this is the second time you have provided music for us, the previous time around four years ago at The Gleneagles Hotel for our 40th Wedding Anniversary. With our very best wishes to you and your fellow musicians." Based in Edinburgh, Scotland Andrew Watson - House Party Photo of Mybagpiper Mybagpiper "We just wanted to message and say thank you so much for playing on the day. The tunes sounded brilliant and we were so pleased with how it all turned out. Thanks as well for being so professional and adding that extra special element to our big day. Best wishes for a happy and prosperous new year! Mr and Mrs Brown" Based in Prestonpans, Scotland (8 miles from Edinburgh) Sioned Fox - Wedding - Winters Barn, Canterbury. 31/12/2019

Frequently asked questions

The average price for wedding musicians on Gig Heaven is £380, 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.

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.

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.
