On average, professional gospel singers cost $200-$300 for one hour. The exact price can vary depending on your location, the performance length, and the performer’s experience level. Singers who perform with live musicians may charge a bit more than those who sing with backing tracks. With a larger budget, you could also consider hiring a band or gospel choir to perform instead of a solo singer.
Most singers can customize their performance to fit the needs of your special event. Gospel singers are most commonly booked for one hour, which would fit about 15-20 songs. But they can also be hired to just do a few songs at a wedding ceremony or for longer sets over the course of a multi-hour reception. For those longer events, just be sure to schedule breaks every 30-45 minutes.
Most gospel singers have a predetermined list of songs they pull from when building a setlist for an event. You can review this list in advance to tell them which songs would be most meaningful to be included.
If there’s a specific song you’d like to request that is not on the list, your singer may be able to learn it before your event. Just be sure to give them as much notice as possible.
There are different types of gospel singers you can hire. Some will perform on their own with a backing track while others will have musicians to accompany them. You can also hire other performers like singing pianists and singing guitarists that perform gospel songs and praise music. While searching for the perfect gospel singer, use their profiles to see how their performances work and ask questions about their setup before booking.
Gospel singers often bring the equipment they need but they may also rely on you for certain technical requirements, whether that’s a sound system or just an electrical outlet nearby. It’s always a good idea to clarify with your performer before the event and to give them plenty of time to set up and perform a sound check before your event starts.
Traditional gospel music is most commonly booked for wedding entertainment, worship services, funerals, and other religious gatherings. But really a gospel singer can be a good fit for all types of events from birthday parties to nonprofit events to community gatherings.
