Wedding Music, Singers & Pianists: Ceremony & Reception

Wedding musicians and singers in Northern Ireland for your ceremony and reception, there’s nothing better than singing or a pianist.

Harris Piping played at Orange Tree House. Music and/or singing can be played at your reception as I’ve seen and heard many musicians playing and singers singing or someone who does both. It has to be noted some wedding musicians also sing, but some others don’t. If they do sing, I’ve made a note just in case you want a musician and singer. Are you looking for the best wedding photographer, contact me with more info. Looking for photos while your wedding musician is playing? Let’s chat

What do wedding musicians charge?

The average wedding musicians charge in Northern Ireland £300-£500, but this depends on the musicians you choose for your wedding. This also depends on experience, equipment, and other things.

I believe the average wedding singers charge £400-£600, but this again depends on the singers you choose for your wedding. You can have solo, duo or even three, although I’ve never seen three at ceremonies I’ve worked at before. The price depends on the same as music, which is experience and equipment along with other things too.

Other suggestions for Wedding Reception Musicians

Some other suggestions for reception music are Catherine Hamilton Soprano and Harpist Juram Gavero, who played in Portadown for years.
