soloists for your event

A soloist brings music in its most personal form to the stage. Whether a singer-songwriter with acoustic guitar, a pianist with jazz repertoire, a saxophonist with smooth jazz sets, or a classical guitarist: a single musician creates an intimate atmosphere that larger formations cannot replicate. On connactz, you'll find 40 soloists available for direct booking. Fees range from 300 to 2,500 euros, with an average of around 1,200 euros.

The advantage of a soloist lies in flexibility and compactness. Minimal space requirements, low technical demands, and the ability to adapt to virtually any venue. A soloist needs no elaborate stage setup, no complex sound system, and can perform in rooms where a band would be too loud or too present. At the same time, a single musician offers an authenticity and closeness that speaks directly to guests.

Soloists for intimate and special moments

Soloists have their greatest impact at events that thrive on personal atmosphere. Wedding ceremonies benefit from the emotional power of a single instrument or voice. Restaurant gigs and wine tastings get the perfect acoustic setting without making conversation impossible. Receptions, small corporate events, and private dinners receive a stylish musical accompaniment that elevates the space without dominating it.

What does a soloist cost?

Fees on connactz range from 300 to 2,500 euros, averaging 1,200 euros. The price depends on the instrument, experience, and playtime. A guitarist for a one-hour wedding ceremony is priced differently than a pianist for an entire evening. The fee typically includes the agreed playtime, travel, and the musician's own instrument. Many soloists on connactz bring a compact amplification system sufficient for small to medium rooms.

Soloists are the most cost-effective option for live music. You book a single musician, which significantly reduces the fee, travel costs, and technical requirements. At the same time, you get genuine live music with all its advantages: atmosphere, adaptability, and the special experience of listening to a musician up close. Share the framework of your event with the soloist so they can plan their repertoire and technical setup accordingly.

Finding the right soloist

First define which instrument and style fit your event. A pianist with jazz repertoire creates a different mood than a singer with acoustic guitar. A classical violinist has a different effect at a wedding ceremony than a saxophonist at a cocktail reception. Listen to the demo recordings on connactz and pay attention to sound quality, repertoire range, and stage presence. Read reviews from other organizers to assess reliability and professionalism.

Discuss the repertoire in advance and share your music preferences. Most soloists on connactz offer a broad program and can learn specific songs upon request. Also clarify the technical setup: is there a power outlet near the performance area? Is amplification needed, or will the acoustic instrument suffice? For outdoor ceremonies, a small amplification system is often advisable, while in an intimate room, a purely acoustic set may be perfectly sufficient.

Why a soloist is the perfect choice for small events

A soloist's strength lies in the closeness to the audience. Without the dynamics of an entire band, the individual artistic performance takes center stage. Guests experience the musician directly, see the hands working on the instrument, hear every nuance. This directness creates an emotional connection that often recedes behind the overall impact of larger formations. For ceremonies, intimate celebrations, and upscale dinners, this quality is exactly what matters.

Plan one to three months ahead for booking. The 40 soloists on connactz cover various instruments, genres, and price ranges. Use the filter options to search by instrument, region, and availability to find the musician that suits your occasion.
