Reviews of Wedding Musicians based near Newport

5/5 from 211 reviews
Photo of Carlo on Sax Carlo on Sax "Carlo Saxophonist was absolutely incredible at our wedding party! He read the crowd perfectly and blended with the music, creating that real Ibiza-style party feel. Carlo is incredibly versatile and can adapt to any style of music — he played effortlessly alongside the DJ and elevated every track. Whatever the DJ threw at him, he matched it perfectly, making each moment feel unique and live. So many of our guests commented on how amazing he was and how much they loved the live sax element. Professional, friendly, and super talented — we couldn’t have asked for a better addition to our evening. Highly recommend Carlo for any wedding or event!" Based in Caerphilly, Wales (9 miles from Newport) 28th April 2026 Jessy - Wedding Photo of Liv Brewin Liv Brewin "We had Liv as DJ and saxophonist at our wedding and it was the best decision we could have made! From start to finish she was a joy to work with. She is professional, easygoing and incredibly talented! Liv delivered beautiful tunes and created the perfect atmosphere for our special day. I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!" Based in Caldicot, Wales (10 miles from Newport) 20th December 2025 Karina Lyssand - Wedding Photo of The Strip Lights The Strip Lights "Have seen The Strip Lights a couple of times before and hired them for a recent party. Brilliant musicians and everyone loved their music. Almost all 70+invites made it on to the dance floor including a couple in their early 80's. Fabulous night and they were excellent at communicating before the event too. Thanks guys! Lynda" Based in Cardiff, Wales (11 miles from Newport) 13th July 2026 Lynda Townley - Outdoor Birthday Party Photo of The Session Band The Session Band "We hired The Session Band for our wedding in Devon. They were brilliant throughout the whole process from enquiry, to booking, to performing. Before the booking, they also gave us other options to add on if we wanted. Once we booked, they sent over their website with their library of songs. We picked a few we liked and they then built their set from that. They also agreed to play our first dance song that we requested. The band were great when they arrived and were accommodating with us as we were slightly behind schedule. Our guests absolutely loved the band and we had so many positive comments from them. In between the band sets we also went for the DJ and Saxophone option, which were great at getting people dancing towards the end of the night. Overall a brilliant experience and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band." Based in Cardiff, Wales (11 miles from Newport) 3rd November 2025 Aiden Shearer - Wedding Photo of Aled Evans Solo Acoustic Covers Aled Evans Solo Acoustic Covers "We were extremely happy with Aled’s performance at our daughter’s 18th birthday celebrations. His professionalism stood out from the outset-he sent over a selection of curated playlists allowing us to tailor the music to suit the vibe of the evening. On the night he got the crowd up dancing and created a lively, joyful atmosphere - he even stayed a little longer and played extra songs on request. Thank you Aled for making an unforgettable night for our daughter’s special birthday." Based in Cardiff, Wales (11 miles from Newport) Karen Jones Photo of Funk & Fable Funk & Fable "We couldn’t be happier with Funk and Fable — they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish! They went above and beyond by learning two special songs just for us, which meant so much and made the day even more memorable. They arrived fully prepared, brought all their own equipment, and set everything up seamlessly without any hassle. At one point, we even put them on the spot with a song request they hadn’t prepared, and they still pulled it off brilliantly — it turned into one of the most unforgettable moments of the day. They were also amazing with the kids, even surprising them with a little 'Frozen' performance that had everyone smiling. Truly professional, talented, and thoughtful — we’re so grateful they were part of our day." Based in Blackwood, Wales (11 miles from Newport) Jack - 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.

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.
