Wedding Daytime Entertainment in Gloucestershire

Entertainment for the ceremony and drinks reception in Gloucestershire

The hours between the ceremony and the evening band are where a wedding day either flows or drags. In Gloucestershire, 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.

Popular wedding venues in Gloucestershire include Owlpen, Oxleaze Barn and Hyde House, and our daytime acts travel to weddings and events across Cheltenham, Gloucester and Stroud. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. Other venues in the area include Elmore Court, Lapstone Barn and Kingscote Barn, and each has its own venue page further down.

The acts that work best in the daytime are the ones that can adapt to the room. Ceremony musicians play acoustically in a church or registry room, drinks reception acts keep the volume at a level where guests can talk, and some acts cover the whole day with a single set-up.

We've been booking wedding entertainment since 1999, and every daytime act on this page covers Gloucestershire. 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

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.

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.

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 wedding. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.
