Frequently asked questions


Most classical soloists are self-contained and provide their own equipment which is suitable for typical situations. Even though the act generally plays acoustically, if your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your musicians about their sound system requirements.

Each event is different but the typical performance time for classical soloists is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. Weather conditions such as wind, rain, or extreme temperatures can affect the performance and the instruments. If you are planning an outdoor event you should be prepared to offer a flat surface for performers as well as a cover in case of unexpected rain.

Booking classical soloists as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.

The cost of hiring musicians can vary significantly depending on the type of act. The average price is currently £308. Budget-level acts may be available for as low as £85, while top-tier acts can command prices as high as £725.

"Zoe was perfect. She was extremely helpful from the prep to the day of the wedding. We asked for so many different songs, from Game of Thrones to You've Got a Friend in Me. She was really responsive and very professional throughout the entire time. Everyone praised her on the day and there were many tears as Claire walked down the aisle, she helped create the perfect atmosphere. I have already recommended her to my sister who is getting married year."

Daniel and Claire's review of Zoe Anderton

Hire Classical Soloists / Classical Musicians

Ideal for:

Weddings, and other romantic events are where classical soloists really come into their own. Whether it's ceremony music, drinks receptions or even music for a surprise proposal, a classical soloist will help create a sense of romance and intimacy.

When booking Classical Soloists:

Many instrumental classical soloists will be happy to perform acoustically, depending on the setting, but you should always consult with your musician in advance. The factors that will influence this will be things like the size of the crowd and whether the performance space is indoors or outside.

Each classical soloist will be proficient in a different instrument, and so careful attention should be paid to each act's promotional materials, to make sure you select someone that plays the style of music you are after.

Prices for Classical Soloists:

As solo musicians, each act's quote will be different, but most classical musicians will charge a minimum of £150 for a private event. If you're looking to cut down on additional travel costs, then try using the "advanced search" feature to find classical soloists near you.

About a Classical soloist's repertoire

Classical soloists (singers in particular) will be able to perform a whole host of musical styles, but will have a wide selection of classical pieces, from Schubert to Bocelli. They will usually also have a selection of popular hits, rearranged in a more classical style, as well as having a repertoire of jazz numbers and even musical theatre. If they play an instrument, this may also include film scores and traditional music.

If you are looking to have your musician perform a particular piece (while you walk down the aisle for example!) then it is always best to get your request in as quickly as possible. Depending on the style, it may take time to rearrange the piece in a classical style, as well as the usual time for rehearsal. Some musicians will also be prepared to record a small snippet of their version in advance, in order to help facilitate your decision.
