Wedding Daytime Entertainment in Norfolk

Wedding daytime entertainment in Norfolk

Guests remember how a wedding day felt as much as what happened. In Norfolk, the right daytime entertainment keeps the ceremony special, the drinks reception lively and the wedding breakfast relaxed, so there are no flat moments before the evening starts.

Popular wedding venues in Norfolk include Oxnead Hall, Bayfield Hall and Voewood, and our daytime acts travel to weddings and events across Norwich, Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. Hautbois Hall, Hockwold Hall and Holkham Hall are among the other Norfolk 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 Norfolk. You can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

The essentials:

Typical cost: £300 to £1,500, depending on how long they perform and the date
Your quote shows exactly what's included
Ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast packages available from many acts
Most couples book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday
Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

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.

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.

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 Norfolk 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.

“His vast range of musical talent shone through and was picked up on by the feedback from the guests most of whom had never heard Jack play before. A special thanks to Jack also for learning a very special song for our first dance it meant a lot to us. He is so versatile in what he can play that we would not hesitate in recommending him for your special day. …”

“"Gavin, I was sitting with my son near to the set on Friday. We were not going to stay but then your music came on... We stayed for the full 3 sets. Just wanted to say - you were very slick, very professional - we had a really great evening. I will be doing something requiring music this spring or summer, so I will definitely contact you, cheers!"”

“Exceptionally talented pair. Had the pleasure of listening to them on the P&O Britannia and they helped us have a fantastic time, we were truly entertained. The vocals are beautifully on point and create a perfect atmosphere. Best of all is their choice of repertoire, so much variety and perfect to relax to; I even found myself singing along on several occasions! Thanks for some great music.”

“Absolutely fantastic, very professional. A beautiful voice which was even better than the video. We booked them for 1 hr and to sing our first dance song. It is a memory that I will never forget. All the guests really enjoyed the music as they sang songs from all genres and did it extremely well. Very talented. We are very pleased that we booked them and could not have asked for more.”

“Colin - the essential piper was just the best piper we could imagine. Very communicative in the lead up to our wedding. Made some beautiful suggestions for our ceremony and even called to play a suggestion on his chanter. He was really flexible when the weather threatened to hamper our plans and on top of all that he was a very talented musician. Would definitely recommend!”

“Smooth Jazz Duo played at our wedding recently and they were absolutely fantastic. They were background music to our drinks reception which took place outside. You could hear them throughout the walled garden and they were a touch of class. Many guests commented on how great they were. All on was happy for us to send them some requests and this added to our wonderful experience!”
