5/5 from 143 reviews
Photo of Yuval Agam Yuval Agam "Yuval played Saxophone for my wife and I's wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and we couldn't be happier with his performance. Yuval was not only professional, but is incredibly talented. We received countless compliments during the cocktail hour about how the sax created such a classy environment and fun guest experience. It was the perfect way to level up our ceremony and cocktail hour. I cannot recommend Yuval enough, thank you!!" Based in New York 24th October 2026 Cole K. - Wedding Photo of Signature Strings, LLC Signature Strings, LLC "Signature Strings, LLC was the perfect choice for our wedding ceremony. Their communication was quick and reliable throughout the planning process, putting us at ease. The quality of their playing was very high - they played our favorite Beatles song perfectly and almost made me cry! The quartet was super nice and easy to work with, and truly contributed to making our special day unforgettable. We would highly recommend Signature Strings to any couple looking for an amazing wedding band" Based in New York 5th April 2026 Danielle K. - Wedding Ceremony Photo of Desmond Ivey Desmond Ivey "Richard C. November 14, 2021 Verified review Beautiful Music Provided By An Authentic Gentleman Desmond performed for me and my loved ones last night while we gathered to celebrate my close friend's 50th Birthday. He arrived on time and spent the first few minutes setting up his equipment. I was expecting only a guitarist. I had no idea I had hired a singer too! Desmond performed many classic pop tunes by artists such as Neil Diamond, John Denver, Abba and Frank Sinatra. He is a passionate singer and player and I was captivated the entire time. He is also a very nice man and I'm glad to have met him. I encourage anyone who is looking for a singer/guitarist to enjoy the talents of this unique man."

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.
