Looking for live musicians for your wedding but don’t know where to start?
I’m Rosie, founder of Tailor Made Music Agency, and I’m here to help!
Specialising in classical and jazz, I’ve put together a collective of some of the finest professional musicians in the UK. Covering London and South East England, I have harpists, string quartets, pianists, brass ensembles, jazz groups, opera singers and more. I offer something for everyone. Using my years of experience working in the classical music industry, I’ve vetted the musicians, so you don’t have to.
I offer you personalised advice on what will work best for your wedding.
In our consultation, I want to find out all about you as a couple. Your taste in music, your favourite songs, what your venue is like, and what atmosphere you want to create at different points of the day. With this information, I’ll shortlist several artists for you to consider. You’ll get detailed information and quotes from each, saving you hours of research.
I’ll also arrange a secure contract for you, handle all communication and keep track of the details. This will give you peace of mind that everything will run smoothly on the day.
Enquire through Hitched today for your free consultation! No obligation to book and no hard selling. Just helpful advice to make sure you get the perfect music for your wedding.

I have had a fantastic experIence of working with Tailor Made Music Agency. Rosie does a great job of sourcing talented musicians & takes the time to get to know her clients so she can find the perfect match for your occasion. The musicians in the agency are brilliant and so professional. Lydia & Joe provided beautiful music for our wedding reception and really made it a special occasion. I highly recommend Tailor Made Music Agency.

Great experience booking with Tailor Made Music
Tailor Made Music (TMM) provided absolutely fantastic service arranging music for our wedding. After the initial consultation where we discussed the style of music we were interested in, Rosie (of TMM) shared with us a selection of very high-quality artists we could pick from. Communication was always incredibly prompt and the contract and booking were handled with utmost care. It's worth also mentioning how well things were handled with the COVID-19 situation. We, unfortunately, had to move the date of our wedding and Tailor Made Music were incredibly accommodating ensuring everything could be transitioned to the new date smoothly. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Personal, thoughtful and professional - everything we could have asked for planning our wedding
We found Rosie at the Tailor Made Music Agency only 6 weeks before our wedding day but even with so little time and a vague idea of what we wanted, Rosie pulled out all the stops to help us find the perfect musicians for our day.
The service is very personal, taking the time to understand you, your vision for the day/event, and what you like/don’t like. Even if you don’t have a clear idea, Rosie is on hand to advise on the best approach and for us it really made the day!
Rosie found us some amazing options for singers for our wedding ceremony providing a professional bio, repertoire and videos for each so that we could make the right choice (though I’m sure all of them would have been great!). Rosie was on hand once we had made our choice to ensure the preparation for the day was in hand and the singer was comfortable with the arrangements / location / accompaniment. We had so many comments from all our guests as to how amazing our singer was.
Rosie also found us a brilliant jazz band who switched their style between our drinks reception and evening dancing (as well as learning our first dance song). They were really good fun and excellent musicians.
From our first phone call to the performances on the day, everything done by the Tailor Made Music Agency was professional, straight forward and personal - we felt truly looked after and it took any stress away that may have had. We would thoroughly recommend the Tailor Made Music Agency and look forward to using the service again one day!

Last-minute availability - June, July and August 2021
As an agency with lots of high-quality artists on my books, I can offer last-minute availability of live musicians for weddings in London and the South East.
The slow, phased reopening of the live performance industry means many of my excellent professional classical and jazz musicians have unexpected availability this summer. If you still need live music, get in touch and I'll help connect you with them.
