Wedding Daytime Entertainment in Lancaster
Entertainment for the ceremony and drinks reception in Lancaster
The hours between the ceremony and the evening band are where a wedding day either flows or drags. In Lancaster, 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 Lancaster include Lancaster House Hotel, Wennington Hall and Ashton Memorial, Williamson Park, and our daytime acts travel to weddings and events across Lancaster, Morecambe and Carnforth. 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 Town Head Estate, Lancaster Castle and Forrest Hills, and each has its own venue page further down.
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.

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.
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.
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.
