Wedding Daytime Entertainment in Bristol

Wedding daytime entertainment in Bristol

Most weddings in Bristol have a long stretch of the day before the evening band sets up. A singer for the aisle, a string quartet or harpist over the canapés, an acoustic duo on the lawn or a magician working the tables fills that time and gives guests something to talk about.

Whether your wedding is near Bristol, Clifton and Portishead or further afield, the daytime acts here cover the whole of Bristol. Local venues include Goldney Hall, Clevedon Hall and Aldwick Court Farm, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Manor Farm, Barley Wood House and Old Down Manor are among the other Bristol venues listed further down, each with its own page.

You can build the daytime around one act or several. Some couples choose a string quartet or harpist for the ceremony and an acoustic duo for the drinks reception; others book a single singer or pianist to cover everything from the aisle to the wedding breakfast.

We've been booking wedding entertainment since 1999, and every daytime act on this page covers Bristol. You can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

The essentials:

• Prices usually from £300 up to £1,500
• Many acts can cover more than one part of the day in a single booking
• Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to enquire early
• The quote you receive sets out exactly what's included
• 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking

Start with the running order. Most couples want music for the walk down the aisle and the signing of the register, then something relaxed for the drinks reception and the meal. One act booked across all three is usually better value than separate bookings, and it means one set-up and one point of contact on the day.

Most daytime act bookings fall between £300 and £1,500. A solo musician for the ceremony alone sits at the lower end, while a quartet or an act covering the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast sits towards the upper end. The date and time of year make up the rest of the difference, so a weekday or winter date can cost less than a summer Saturday.

Every act's page has video and audio of the performer you would actually book, along with their repertoire and written reviews from couples who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the sound before you commit.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the day. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.
