5/5 from 6,532 reviews
Photo of Branco Costa Branco Costa "I just saw Branco at Waverly’s restaurant in Englewood last night. I love saxophone music, and even though my tastes lean towards urban blues and New Orleans boogie I was completely captivated by Branco’s playing. If you need some mellow but engaging music for your event, Branco is your man." Based in North Port, Florida (27 miles from Sarasota) 27th April 2026 Mike Pappas - Restaurant / Bar Photo of Accordion Player Accordion Player "Billy Gumbo Murphy was great! Just what we needed and what we were anticipating! 10 out of 10 Billy kept us rocking along happily tapping and clapping!! Thank YOU!" Based in Seminole, Florida (38 miles from Sarasota) 11th June 2026 Phil Asbury - House party/ birthday Photo of Flamenco & Latin Fusion: Music & Dance Flamenco & Latin Fusion: Music & Dance "We had the BEST time thanks to this talented group of musicians! I mean, the food was great too, but by far they were the stars of the evening. I cannot say enough good things about them, from the dancer's beautiful outfit, their punctuality, their enthusiasm, their professionalism. I sent them a song "wishlist" ahead of time, and nearly all of the songs were either sung or the original versions played during their break. The singer was sensational, he also played the cajón (percussion), then there was the beautiful flamenco dancer who also did the "palmas" (hand clapping) and ended up dancing the Sevilllnas with a group of us (we had forgotten some of the steps, so she helped us, like a teacher!), and then of course the guitarist who was absolutely brilliant, too. Our event would not have been as special without them. Although some of the songs they sang/played came from the wishlist, others came from the musicians themselves who, understanding their audience, came up with songs that surprised and delighted us. I am actually trying to come up with a made-up celebration to have them come back to Lutz. Paying off a credit card maybe? Anyway, this was an unforgetable party. Thank you, Samuel, for putting it all together so brilliantly!" Based in Tampa, Florida (42 miles from Sarasota) 15th October 2026 Nathalia Assaad - Lutz wedding Photo of City Loud City Loud "Wow,, very impressed with the show. The song selections and performances are on par with the original artist that did the songs. The bands interaction with the audiance is amazing. The audiance loved when the band members took turns coming off stage and performing with them on the dance floor. What an incredible band. One of the best bands I have watched in tampa in a long time." Based in Tampa, Florida (42 miles from Sarasota) 9th January 2026 Al Sacco - Tampa Hard rock Photo of Saxophone and piano live music Saxophone and piano live music "Excellence was seen in real time I had the pleasure to work with the saxophone player this weekend. His eloquent playing skills and his excellent ability to catch the music was outstanding. He provided the soundtrack for the wedding as well as assisting me when I was DJin the event. I'm looking forward to working with him soon in the future and I would definitely recommend using his services for your next event."

He was excellent for our son’s 3rd birthday party . Very talented , brought the good energy and the party wouldn’t be nearly the same without him . My son still says his name to this day. Wish we could hire him every get together . Thanks again Steve !" Based in Tampa, Florida (42 miles from Sarasota) Caroline Stills (From Google Business Review) - Private Party

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.
