If you really want to personalize your ceremony and make it a service to remember you’ll need to think of the music you want playing, particularly when you are walking down the aisle. One aspect to this that you absolutely have to consider is the price. You may dream of an entire orchestra playing during your ceremony, but the fees of the performers will probably dictate otherwise.

Ceremony music fees are usually determines by a number of factors such as the number of performers, what day of the week you are having the service and the time of day for your service. Typically, it will cost you around $50-$250 per hour per performer but this also varies based on the city. In addition to this, you may also have to pay for the performers’ travel expenses and the transportation of large, fragile instruments like harps. However, your musicians may be able to give you a discount is you also hire them to play during cocktails and band breaks. If you want a cheaper alternative, consider looking into an organist rather than a group or trio.
