Reviews of Wedding Musicians based near Rye

5/5 from 249 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 (13 miles from Rye) Bridget - Funeral Photo of Carl Bradford Violin Carl Bradford Violin "Carl was incredible from start to finish. When I first enquired the communication from him was great and we were able to personalise just what we wanted. He responded quickly and professionally. Carl played during our Wedding ceremony and we have received so many compliments on just how well he added that special touch. Unforgettable! Highly recommended and a very genuine, kind man. We still speak about how amazing he was and his talent is beyond amazing!" Based in Bexhill-on-Sea, England (13 miles from Rye) Jennifer P - Wedding Photo of Kent Pianist Kent Pianist "Fantastic. Wonderful music and Rachel was a delight to work with. Highly recommend." Based in Hythe, England (17 miles from Rye) Graeme & James - Wedding Photo of Jonny Lewis Ents Jonny Lewis Ents "Jonny opened our village music festival in June and certainly got the party started! His charm and charisma come through every song. He is a delightful performer and we will certainly book him again. Thank you Jonny Lewis - you are a star!" Based in Eastbourne, England (23 miles from Rye) Hankham Village Sociey - Hankhambury Music Festival 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 (24 miles from Rye) Karen Brinkman - Private wedding Photo of Chris Harper Chris Harper "Chris Harper was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding day! From the very beginning, Chris was professional, friendly, and incredibly easy to work with. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted for each part of the day — from the ceremony to the drinks reception — and he absolutely delivered. His voice is stunning, and his guitar playing brought such a warm, emotional atmosphere to our ceremony. Guests kept asking us “Who is your singer? He’s amazing!” — and they weren’t wrong. We even picked one of his original songs "Eyes Off You" to walk down the aisle to. It was truly perfect. Chris’s setlist was spot on — a great mix of romantic, relaxed, and upbeat songs that suited the vibe of the day perfectly. He read the room beautifully and kept the energy flowing without ever being overbearing. We genuinely can’t recommend Chris highly enough — he helped make our day so memorable, and we feel lucky to have had him as part of it. If you’re looking for a wedding singer who’s talented, professional, and a joy to have around, book Chris to be part of your special day!" Based in Crowborough, England (26 miles from Rye) Lauren and Joe Hall - 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.
