Photo of Russell Wilson Russell Wilson "Russell was a wonderful addition to our party, not only his wonderful music, but also his fun personality." Based in Marlow Heights, Maryland (6 miles from Washington D.C.) TLee - Anniversary Photo of James Anthony's Salute to Sinatra James Anthony's Salute to Sinatra "James Anthony was amazing when he performed for the United States Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. He arrived early to rehearse with a 20 piece group of musicians and was a huge hit. The Congress Members and Senators were asking where I found him and we at the Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce absolutely recommend him. Due to popular demand, we brought him back the next year to perform for the US Senate for their annual gala." Based in Fairfax, Virginia (15 miles from Washington D.C.) 20th October 2025 Maisie R. - Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce Photo of DayDream ProJect DayDream ProJect "We had DayDream project for our sock burning annual community celebration on our beach. We had a 120 person turn out and everyone was loving the music. They played something for everyone, the music was awesome, they were prompt, great communicators and overall we would love to book them again." Based in Severn, Maryland (25 miles from Washington D.C.) 18th September 2026 Heather M - Community Party @ Oyster Harbor Beach in Annapolis Md May 2026 Photo of Bagpiper: Robert Mitchell Bagpiper: Robert Mitchell "Robert Mitchell was very sensitive to our wish for a softer sound in the church and used the border pipes. He was extremely professional, worked well with the organist and pianist, and provided a lovely Irish touch to my daughter's wedding. Afterwards, he played the bagpipes outside while everyone gathered to greet the new couple with bubbles as they hopped into their limo. In addition, he provided a transition to the reception by playing the bagpipes outside the entrance. We are thankful to Robert and heard many positive comments about him from our guests." Based in Columbia, Maryland (26 miles from Washington D.C.) John G. Photo of Just the 2 of Us Just the 2 of Us "Just the 2 of Us really enhanced by birthday experience. He interacted with the crowd and kept us entertained the whole time with great live music! It was really amazing!! I would recommend them for any occasion!" Based in Fredericksburg, Virginia (47 miles from Washington D.C.) Jon Brown - Private Birthday Party Photo of Dunlap and Mabe Dunlap and Mabe "I watched their promo video and thought this band would be a great fit for our community gathering. My main job is in concert audio, and I work with bands every week. I've done high main stream bands and garage bands, Robert Mabe put on a performance that was breath taking amazing. His band's sound was like nothing anyone has heard, our audience was silent with anticipation of the band's next musical note. Before the show was over city officials asked me for their contact info to bring them in for next year's fair concert. This band is worth 10 times what they charge. They are the real deal and will blow away your audience. And yes we're bringing them back." Based in Winchester, Virginia (64 miles from Washington D.C.) Joshua B. - Concert

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.
