Instrumentalists For Hire

An extensive roster of instrumentalists of all types and styles, nationwide.

The roster

Instrumentalists available to book

  1. Two violinists playing at the head of an outdoor wedding aisle beneath a floral canopy

    Strings

    Acoustic – ceremony · Electric – reception

    String players for both halves of the day. An acoustic trio or quartet carries a ceremony and cocktail hour with standards and arrangements of songs guests already know; the same players plug in for the reception, trading soft accompaniment for an amplified sound that holds its own next to the DJ or band.

  2. A drummer in black tie playing a timbale kit at a ballroom reception

    Drummers

    A live drummer layered over a DJ set turns recorded tracks into something closer to a live show. Percussion cuts through the mix on peak-hour drops and keeps the floor locked into the beat — a common add-on for high-energy receptions and club-style nights.

  3. A saxophonist in a waistcoat playing an alto saxophone at a reception

    Saxophone

    A saxophonist trades solos with the DJ or band, riffing over house and Top 40 during the reception or carrying melody through cocktail hour. The horn adds a live edge guests both hear and see, and it works for lounge sets and full dance floors alike.

  4. A harpist in a black gown playing a concert harp on a stage lit blue

    Harp

    Solo harp suits a ceremony, cocktail hour, or seated dinner. The repertoire runs from classical pieces to arrangements of modern songs guests recognize, filling a room with sound that stays in the background without disappearing into it.

  5. A percussionist in black tie playing a standing hand drum at a reception

    Cultural Instruments

    Traditional players for celebrations rooted in a specific culture — Persian, Armenian, Middle Eastern, and Latin instrumentation among them. LIV matches the musicians to the event so the music fits the family and the moment, whether for a ceremony, a dinner, or a full reception.
