Photo of Ken Gable Jazz Ken Gable Jazz "Thank you Ken for everything! For the guidance in picking our ceremony music to the day of and your kind words! It was a true joy to have you!" Based in Wrentham, Massachusetts (40 miles from Newport) 31st May 2026 Kayleigh and Chris - Private Wedding Photo of WisehartPiper WisehartPiper "Kevin has been a band instructor for the Sutherland Pipe Band for many years, guiding us through every stage of our band’s lifecycle. He played a crucial role in developing and retaining members when we had just a few players, and he continued to support our improvement as we grew and returned to band competition. Whether you're learning tunes, preparing for a parade or contest, or simply trying to improve your playing, Kevin can help. He is an expert player and teacher for all aspects of piping, including instrument setup, tuning, expression, musicality, deportment, unison, and ensemble. More importantly, while Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and competent, he is equally personable and patient. Every pipe band and piper could benefit from Kevin’s instruction, and he would be my top choice for any event where a piper is needed." Based in Boston, Massachusetts (61 miles from Newport) 9th September 2026 Joe B - World class pipe band instructor Photo of Massive Groove Band Massive Groove Band "We are so happy we hired Massive Groove Band for our wedding. They are awesome band fast replying to my texts and emails. The put together exactly what we had in mind! Loved the Jazz during cocktail and the energy dance music got everyone on the dance floor! They are the real deal!!!" Based in Boston, Massachusetts (61 miles from Newport) J. Peterson - Wedding Photo of Kt Lay Kt Lay "We hired Kt for our wedding and they did not disappoint. They performed before the ceremony and during cocktail hour. So many people came up to us saying how much they enjoyed the music. Would definitely hire again!" Based in Manchester, Connecticut (65 miles from Newport) Lindsey Dunphy - Wedding Photo of A Touch Of Jazz Featuring Vin Cassotta A Touch Of Jazz Featuring Vin Cassotta "I am delighted to recommend Vincent Cassotta of Enfield CT in pursuit of his grant application for the Louis Armstrong Tribute with a Jazz Quartet performing at the Eli Whitney Elementary School. My previous role as the PK-12 Music Coordinator for the Enfield Public School District has brought me in direct contact with the professional, innovative, creative, and artistic musician and retired teacher Mr. Vincent Cassotta. I have witnessed first-hand the impact and quality of his quality music instruction provided for his thirty-nine years of teaching tenure in our community. To have the opportunity to bring the genre of American Jazz Music as a tribute to the legend of Louis Armstrong with quality professional musicians under Mr. Cassotta’s organization is a blessing to the young minds and ears of our elementary students, especially at a time when music education in Enfield offers less opportunities. This past Spring I had the opportunity to guest speak at Mr. Cassotta’s retirement party celebrating his many years of service in music education. In that speech I spoke about multiple areas beyond the collegial and professional relationship Mr. Cassotta, and I achieved since 1999. These in my opinion provide strong evidence for the Enfield Cultural Council to support this mission of this application fiscally. One of the points shared was that Mr. Cassotta balanced his career of music education and professional trumpet performing with incredible success throughout his career. Aside from the technical, logistical and time management responsibilities from such an endeavor, he achieved this success with never letting go of the care demonstrated to his students, family members, school building staff, and his music professional colleagues. The fact that he desires to continue to expand the music opportunities to students in Enfield now in his retirement resting years is evidence of his dedication to this art form and willingness to always educate. Furthermore Mr. Cassotta’s wealth of experience professionally as a performing musician and student of the trumpet is stellar. In his education Mr. Cassotta studied trumpet with Rolf Smedvig of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Empire Brass Quintet, Jimm Maxwell a NYC Studio Musician, Roger Murtha of the Hartford Symphony and Hartt School of Music, and Dan Patrylak of the Eastman Brass Quintet and UCONN. To continue, Mr. Cassotta was a freelance performer with Frank Sinatra, Manhattan Transfer, Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Vinton, Bob Hope, The Four Tops, Phil Woods, The Temptations, Sammy Davis Jr., Andy Williams, Franki Valli and the Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. Including numerous local and state pit orchestra’s and local well know jazz bands. He has also published works as a composer and arranger with KJOS music as well as multiple professional recordings. I strongly urge you to consider Mr. Cassotta’s application for this grant. Your support will help impact music education in Enfield and continue to make a meaningful impact on the lives of its students. Thank you for considering this recommendation. Sincerely, Mark F. Reppucci Jazz, Orchestra, Music Technology and Piano Teacher Enfield High School Write your tex" Based in Enfield, Connecticut (74 miles from Newport) Mark Reppucci Photo of Le'Mixx Band Le'Mixx Band "Reviewed on: 12/28/2024 Le'Mixx is an eclectic bunch of talented musicians that exceeded our expectations. We didn't want a band that would perform the go-to tracks of the wedding circuit. We wanted a seasoned band to perform live music in genres ranging from Funk to R&B. Their band showcased tunes with woodwind & brass instruments and live vocals from their lead singer and all performers. The band informed us of all their necessities in advance and arrived early. The band also provided all the necessary equipment, like microphones and speakers. Our young and wise guests found themselves all on the dance floor from the energy Le'Mixx created."

Frequently asked questions

The average price for wedding musicians on Gig Heaven is $500, with rates from $140 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.
