my keyboard player was Jim Tartaglia a vendor on here. i HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him. He was AWESOME to work with and reasonable. I would say $100 an hour. we had him for 2 1/2 hours. 1/2 before cereony 1/2 during ceremony 1 1/2 hour cocktail hour. he was GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rule of thumb when hiring coctail hour musicians, unless they are traveling far and wide and need to learn new music, they should be charging between 100 and 200 dollars per hour, per person. I am a musician and often tell people to call the music departments at the local colleges (mostly Stony Brook and Queens Collge). Their grad students usually have their numbers posted in the main offices for them to give out for things like this. If you are looking for musicians and aren't really too concerned about them being 'professional', I am having my students, whom are seniors in high school, play for my coctail hour and I know they do a lot of other weddings, etc. I can give you their info.
