About these Clarinetists

If you're looking to add a wonderful atmosphere of sophistication to your event, why not hire a clarinet player? Whether you're planning a black-tie dinner, wedding ceremony or entertaining clients, a clarinet player is going to be a wonderful addition to proceedings.

Though arguably more subtle than other instruments like the saxophone, clarinet players are more than capable of being either a featured performer or providing excellent background music for events.

"We had our wedding on Worthing Pier last month and Steph came to play for an hour during our drinks reception. She was absolutely fantastic. Too say it was a blustery day was an understatement but Steph powered through and belted out some cracking tunes for us and our guests to enjoy! Steph was super flexible, with an easy set up, so when we decided to move inside she was able to also move inside to continue to play for everyone. So many of our guests have said how great Steph was, and how they enjoyed the mix of songs she covered. She really set the party atmosphere up for us with a fun and lively set. Great communication in the lead up and excellent value for money too! :) Thanks again Steph!"

Amy and Adam's review of Steph Legg

Ideal for:

Clarinet players will generally suit more formal events, although it's also not uncommon to hear them playing at public venues in a small jazz ensemble. Weddings, formal dinners, drinks receptions to entertain clients and many other functions will benefit from the addition of a clarinet player.

When booking Clarinetists:

Most clarinet players will require information about the size of your event, to determine if they need to amplify their instrument through a small PA set up or similar. If they do use a PA, your venue will require proof that it has been PAT tested for electrical safety.

Some clarinet players will utilise backing tracks to achieve their sound, while others may play solo or with a small ensemble. It's important to discuss details like this when booking, to ensure you achieve the type of atmosphere you are after.

Prices for Clarinetists:

Clarinet players will generally charge a minimum of £120 but this will depend on the time, place and nature of your event. However, if you are looking to cut down on travel costs, use the "advanced search" feature to find clarinet players near you.

About Clarinetists repertoire:

Clarinet players will generally play a mix of jazz standards and popular tunes, but they might occasionally also play some film or TV scores. They may also draw from the material of famous clarinet players, such as Artie Shaw or Pete Fountain.

If you are looking to make any requests of your musician, such as a first dance or music for a wedding ceremony, then make sure you speak to them as far in advance as you can, as it will take time to learn and arrange any new music. Sometimes it is better for you to provide the sheet music to your clarinet player for the specific piece you want them to perform. Some clarinet players will be able to provide with a recording or short video clip of them performing your request, if it is for an important point of the event, in order for you to hear their version in advance.
