Wedding Daytime Entertainment in the East of England

Daytime acts covering the whole of the East of England

Whether you're planning a wedding in a city-centre hotel or a country house miles from anywhere, daytime acts in the East of England cover the whole region. This page brings together acts that play everywhere from Luton, Cambridge, King's Lynn, Chelmsford, Bury St Edmunds and Hertford, so you can compare them side by side.

Across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, the daytime acts listed here play ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts. Use the area links lower down if you'd like a list narrowed to one part of the East of England.

From Wrest Park and Childerley Barn to Hautbois Hall, Crondon Park, Haughley Park Barn and Chenies Manor House, the venues across the East of England range from grand country houses to barns, hotels and city spaces. Our acts are used to adapting to all of them.

The category covers acoustic duos, singers, pianists, string players and roaming acts for the hours before the evening party. Their pages show exactly what each one plays, so you can match the act to your guests and your venue.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment since 1999. Every act listed here covers the East of England, and travel and any amplification are included in the quote you receive. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

At a glance:

  • Most daytime acts cost between £300 and £1,500
  • Travel and any amplification are included in the price you're quoted
  • One page covering every area of the East of England
  • Popular acts book up early for busy dates, so enquire soon
  • A 14-day change-of-mind refund comes with every booking

Start with the space and the guest numbers. A smaller line-up suits an intimate room or a venue with a sound limiter, while a larger act fills a ballroom or marquee. Tell us the venue and numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.

Smaller line-ups typically start from around £300, while bigger acts can reach £1,500 or more. Summer Saturdays and December are the busiest dates. The price in your quote includes travel and any amplification, so it won't change once you've booked.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio and a song list. Underneath are reviews from clients, often at venues you'll recognise.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

FAQs

Anything that happens before the evening band: ceremony music, drinks reception music and entertainment during the wedding breakfast. That includes solo singers, harpists, pianists, guitarists, string quartets, acoustic duos, roaming musicians and close-up magicians.

Yes, and it's a common way to book. Many soloists, duos and quartets offer packages covering all three, which is usually better value than booking separate acts.

Harpists, pianists, guitarists and string quartets usually play acoustically in a ceremony room or church. Singers and duos bring a small PA for larger rooms or outdoor spaces, so tell us the venue in the East of England when you enquire.

Many can, as long as there's cover nearby and power where it's needed. Acoustic instruments such as harps and strings need shelter from sun and rain, so check your venue's wet-weather plan.

Typically £300 to £1,500, depending on the act, how long they perform and the date. Your quote shows exactly what's included.

Many can, given enough notice. Mention it when you enquire and the act will confirm whether they can add it for your day.

Reviews

“For my 40th birthday last November, I wanted to re-create some swing style magic for myself and my friends. And with Gentlemen of the Road that's exactly what I got. The set list was awesome, and you can tell the band love what they do as the sound they produced was wonderful. I can't recommend them highly enough. Two long sets just wasn't enough! Thanks guys, we had an incredible evening.”

(5)

“Absolutely fantastic performances and sets, everyone totally loved the vibe and the amazing performers- everyone was asking who they were and how I found them. When it rained they came off the stage and performed inside the marquee creating a really intimate magical moment, and graciously did a couple of requests for us all to join in on - couldn't have asked for more or better, simply brilliant! 11/10 thanks so much”

“I really enjoyed working with Livi ITM. Despite their youth, the band were thoroughly professional and dedicated musicians who brought a fresh dynamic to our music festival. The trio complement each other very well, bringing a warmth to the stage that the audience to engage with. Livi, front and centre, delivered controlled vocals of a seasoned pro, years ahead of her time. I look forward to working with them again.”

(5)

“I’d recommend Ian without hesitation. Not only is he a huge talent with a fine repertoire, he is a genuinely good guy who was friendly and communicative during the build-up to my wedding. On the day itself he went above and beyond what I’d expect from a performer by allowing my son (a beginner on guitar) to play along to one of his songs. Ian is a top talent and a top man.”

(5)

“Love Detroit Vintage Duo! Was so happy to find them for my wedding a couple of years ago, Paul was great to deal with and everybody commented on how good they were for weeks after. They sound authentic and always look like they are enjoying themselves whilst playing. Recently booked them again when I was helping my Dad organise a big 50th birthday and they were great!”

(5)

“Hi both, we've had many compliments from our guests about your performances and we couldn't be more pleased with how things went. Not only did you provide fantastic live music, but you did it in a tight spot with minimal help from us! We sincerely believe that we could not have chosen a better band for the day and want to thank you both for coming. Mr & Mrs Miller :)”
