I love the idea of having live music in an intimate settings, so l hired RadFlute to perform at a small gathering for my mom's birthday. She was quick and responsive in communications.

Based in San Francisco, California (86 miles from Monterey) Judit S F Photo of Bollywood California Bollywood California "We had Katie and Wess from Bollywood California play for my sister's milestone Birthday. Right from planning till execution, Katie was on top of things. She helped me with the contract terms and conditions, adjusted the timing, song list to my choice. On the day of the event, both Katie and Wess knocked it out of the park. All the guests were pleased by their skills of playing all genres and especially the flawless playing of Bollywood songs. They both were so professional and did a commendable job. Some of the guests came back after the event to let me know how fantastic Katie and Wess played the violin. Thank you for giving us a great experience, Bollywood California. I would recommend you in the blink of an eye. Kanika" Based in San Francisco, California (86 miles from Monterey) Kanika - Private

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.

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.
