Wedding Daytime Entertainment in Northumberland

Wedding daytime entertainment in Northumberland

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

Northumberland has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Healey Barn and The Barn on the Bay to Newton Hall. Our daytime acts travel to towns across the area, including Alnwick, Morpeth and Berwick-upon-Tweed, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Charlton Hall, Slaley Hall Hotel and Doxford Barns are among the other Northumberland venues listed further down, each with its own page.

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.

We've been booking wedding entertainment since 1999, and every daytime act on this page covers Northumberland. You can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

The essentials:

• Change your mind within 14 days and get a full refund

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.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the performer you would be booking, with videos, audio, a repertoire list and reviews. Between them you can get a clear sense of the act well before the day.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the day. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.
