Photo of Lounge pianist Lounge pianist "Excellent. - Highly professional . Communicated well before and throughout the event. Great pianist. Would recommend" Based in Portsmouth, England Jack E. - Party Photo of Will Tierney (Acoustic Singer) Will Tierney (Acoustic Singer) "Thank you so much! I can not recommend Will enough, all songs were perfect and a range of upbeat and mellow. Will sang while everyone arrived and then while we were eating, we loved it so much we got off our feet and were all singing and dancing! Worth every penny!!" Based in Portsmouth, England Kerry Hiller - Wedding Photo of James Tattington James Tattington "We stumbled across James playing in a pub in East London (and loved his music) and then when we decided to get married we asked him to play. Everybody said how amazing he was. We had lots of communication before re music choices . We couldn’t have asked for more . He helped take the day extra special ." Based in Portsmouth, England Hannah Maynard - Wedding Ceremony Photo of Emellia Emellia "Bembridge Village Street Fair was the venue She had set up two doors down from our cottage We spent most of the day listening to her, songs we loved Really well interpreted such a great singing voice ,we asked for her details as we would willing travel to listen to her." Based in Ryde, England (6 miles from Portsmouth) 25th May 2026 Paul Spencer Photo of Helen Spooner Music Helen Spooner Music "I have been a musician and music teacher for more than 50 years and about 4 or 5 years ago I had the good fortune to start working on a musical project with Helen. She is not only a very skilful and talented piano player/vocalist but also very musically knowledgeable. She certainly knows her music theory and her ability to create vocal harmonies belies her years. I cannot speak highly enough about Helen with dedication and reliability being two more of her attributes." Based in Emsworth, England (8 miles from Portsmouth) Barry Lines - Acoustic Trio musician , ‘Southside Trio’ Photo of MayAlan Duo MayAlan Duo "Maya from the MayAlan Duo, spent time getting to know where each of our passions in music lay. From Madonna to Cinema Paradiso! From friendly, lively conversation about all sorts of things, it felt like we all together came up with music ideas that were very personal to us both. Just what you want on your wedding day! On the wedding day itself, the music was beautiful, their playing was superb. And they were totally professional. Our guests thought they were as talented and as likeable as we do." Based in Newport, England (11 miles from Portsmouth) A & S - 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.

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.
