"Gaynor was absolutely amazing !!! Leading up to our wedding, her communication was superb. She offered plenty of advice and ideas. I asked for a song that she hadn't covered before, this was no trouble to her at all ! On our wedding day (7/11/25) she was there bang on time. Her musical talent is something else !!! She didnt miss a note. Im so, so , so glad we booked her ! Everyone commented on how good she was and how lovely the violin music in the background gave a much more romantic feel !

FAQs about hiring Wedding breakfast musicians in Cumbria

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

Can any wedding breakfast musician play my favourite song?

Professional wedding breakfast musicians will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that wedding breakfast musicians may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the wedding breakfast musician's song list on their Encore profile.

How much time do wedding breakfast musicians take to set up?

Your wedding breakfast musician will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the wedding breakfast musician prior to their arrival.

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?

PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our wedding breakfast musicians are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our wedding breakfast musicians will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
