Photo of John Madeley - Solo Acoustic John Madeley - Solo Acoustic "John Madeley was very professional and entertaining. We would book him again in the future." Based in Center City, Pennsylvania 17th July 2026 Brett Daniels - Private Event Photo of Almost CHER Almost CHER "Helene was absolutely stunning. She's beautiful, funny, engaging and talented. She put on a great show and it really was the highlight of our party. She looked like Cher, sounded like Cher and her costumes were incredible. She was wonderful to do business with as well. Very professional and accommodating. She worked everything out herself with the DJ so I didn't have to worry about a thing. I really appreciated that because as the hostess I had enough to do. If you're thinking about entertainment for your event, you won't be disappointed if you hire Helene. My entire party has called me to rave about her performance. Thanks so much Helene!!! Kim J. Titusville, NJ" Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Kim J. Titusville, NJ - Private Party Photo of Ever After Duo Ever After Duo "Ever After Duo has been a regular part of Tavola's entertainment program since reopening after the initial COVID shut down. They have an incredible repertoire of music from the 60's through today. They are extremely talented musicians and very well received by our clientele - not to mention they are an absolute pleasure to work with." Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Steve S., Restaurant Manager - Tavola Restaurant Photo of Blue Jersey Band Blue Jersey Band "Review received on 8/7/2025 Best of the best! We can’t say enough great things about Blue Jersey Band! Our residents absolutely loved them—their energy, enthusiasm, and friendly nature truly made the event special. This dynamic duo went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time, engaging with residents and working hard behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their dedication and positive attitude didn’t go unnoticed, and we’ve already received so many compliments thanks to their efforts. We would welcome them back in a heartbeat!

The Bassboards really made our affair special. I can't say enough about them." Based in Flemington, New Jersey (42 miles from Philadelphia) Jim N. - Wedding Photo of Flannel and Lace Duo Flannel and Lace Duo "We hired Cathy and Tom for our wedding and they were the best! They were a joy to work with and have a very fun, upbeat energy. They really listened to what we envisioned for our wedding and made it happen. Multiple people complimented us on the entertainment and they ended the night with karaoke which was a huge hit. I highly recommend hiring Flannel and Lace for any event."

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.
