Wedding Daytime Entertainment in Cornwall
Entertainment for the ceremony and drinks reception in Cornwall
The hours between the ceremony and the evening band are where a wedding day either flows or drags. In Cornwall, daytime entertainment covers the ceremony itself, the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast, with music or entertainment that keeps guests happy while the photos are taken and the room is turned around.
Whether your wedding is near Truro, Falmouth and Newquay or further afield, the daytime acts here cover the whole of Cornwall. Local venues include Lusty Glaze, Nancarrow Farm and Eden Project, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Boconnoc House, Tredudwell Manor and Polhawn Fort, with details of each.
Daytime entertainment is a mix of act types, each suited to a different part of the day: harpists and pianists for the ceremony, acoustic duos and solo singers for the drinks reception, string quartets for a classic feel, and roaming musicians or close-up magicians to keep guests entertained between photos.

A church or ceremony room suits a harpist, pianist or string quartet, where the music carries without amplification. A drinks reception outdoors or in a busy courtyard is better served by an acoustic duo or a solo singer with a small PA, and a magician can move between groups wherever they gather. Many acts can cover the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast in one booking.
Expect to pay from around £300 up to £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. Busy Saturdays in summer and December sit at the top of the range, and your quote shows exactly what's included.
Each act's page carries real video and audio, a repertoire list and reviews from previous clients. Watching a couple of clips tells you far more than any description can, so it's worth listening before you choose.
