Reviews of Wedding Musicians available in Kent, England, United Kingdom

5/5 from 8,755 reviews
Photo of Cellist Miriam Louise Cox Cellist Miriam Louise Cox "Our father died aged 91 recently and as classical music had been his absolute joy throughout his life, we knew that we had to make it part of his small and very intimate funeral. How lucky (and delighted) we were to find that a professional, Miriam, lives locally and that she would like to be part of this celebration of his long life. Miriam could not have been more helpful or sensitive in helping us to choose and adapt four very special pieces and she played them beautifully, especially as unlike a wedding there was so little time for preparation. We shall never forget the sound of her playing her arrangement for cello of Ralph Vaughan Williams' Five Variants of 'Dives and Lazarus' as my father's coffin was lifted and borne out of the chapel, and continuing to hear it as we followed it to his final resting place. It was the one piece that he had ever mentioned as wishing to include at his funeral, and it meant a huge amount to have it played live by someone who cared very much about her role in the service. He would have loved to have heard it, and who knows, perhaps he did. Our heartfelt thanks, Miriam." Based in Cranbrook, England Bridget - Funeral Photo of Kentishsax Kentishsax "Dirk was fabulous! From the moment we contacted him he couldn’t have been more helpful. It was fairly short notice but lucky for us Dirk was available. The communication was excellent including warning us about traffic problems that could have caused our guests a problem. I really stage know what to expect but Dirk exceeded our expectations and all the guests loved his set. It was a perfect mix of songs and really set the right tone. Thank you so much for making our daughters wedding extra special!" Based in Maidstone, England Karen Brinkman - Private wedding Photo of A2 Barn Dance Band A2 Barn Dance Band "A2 Barn Dance provided a reel party for our daughter's 18th birthday party - what a night it was! They were very friendly and professional from the booking stage all the way through to the last note. They quickly realised our level of proficiency on the night and adapted their playing accordingly. In addition to being consummate musicians, they are really pleasant to deal with and supportive. I thoroughly recommend them." Based in Faversham, England Hugo - 18th Birthday Party Photo of Citation Duo Citation Duo "A great evening was had by all last Saturday at Rochester Cruising Club" Based in Snodland, England Sophie Photo of Electric Outfit Live Band Electric Outfit Live Band "Hi guys, I just wanted to drop you a quick message to thank you so much for playing at our wedding, our guests kept telling us how amazing you were throughout the evening, right from the first dance to the very end you kept all ages up and dancing….exactly what we were hoping for when booking a band, you certainly delivered…and then some!" Based in Gillingham, England Mr & Mrs Phelps - Wedding Photo of Cavendish Brass Cavendish Brass "We really enjoyed working with you and the rest of the band, so please do pass on our thanks to every member. We especially appreciated you being so adaptable with the music and various requirements on the day." Based in Rochester, England Grayling

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
