He was extremely talented and professional. We requested multiple songs for him to learn and he played them all perfectly! He was extremely accommodating. He brought all his equipment, arrived early for set up, and executed everything perfectly. We will definitely use him again for future events and recommend him to friends!" Based in Austin, Texas 21st March 2026 Ashley - Private Wedding Photo of Rich Stolp Music Rich Stolp Music "Rich was excellent in his professionalism from the beginning to end of the process. We had a short notice event in which we were looking for a musician. Rich was excellent in completing our company paperwork in a timely manner and was very responsive. The music and set up was smooth and excellent. Rich provided us with a great ambiance of live music at our event. We will certainly book him for future events and would recommend his musical talents." Based in Austin, Texas 3rd February 2026 Treven P. - Grand Opening - Community Amenity Center Photo of Steel Drum Player Steel Drum Player "When planning my daughter's wedding, which was always destined to be a multicultural blend of music genres, styles, and rhythmic offerings, I was set on finding that flair to entertain our guests with a little taste of their own familiar music and I happened upon the One Man Steel Drum Band on a popular gig website. With the union of the kids spanning the globe and including West Indian, Latin, and Russian culture, this was a perfect choice! Upon establishing contact with John Skoczen, I realized very quickly that he would be an effective and professional communicator who cared not only about his role in our event but also the appeal of such things as attire, the set list, any particular requests related to the guests, and the full gamut of helping us to make our event delightful. John consistently maintained contact with me regarding updates, directions, and special elements. No portions of our interactions were confusing for me. He was so patient and understanding upon arriving at the venue whereas I was as a scattered and frazzled mother of the bride and coordinator. He quickly became like family, AND his talent is out of this world! I will definitely be booking John again for a future occasion. Allie B.

Frequently asked questions

The average price for wedding musicians on Gig Heaven is $500, with rates from $150 to $1,700+. 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 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.
