Wedding Daytime Entertainment in Sheffield & South Yorkshire

Entertainment for the ceremony and drinks reception in Sheffield & South Yorkshire

Most weddings in Sheffield & South Yorkshire have a long stretch of the day before the evening band sets up. A singer for the aisle, a string quartet or harpist over the canapés, an acoustic duo on the lawn or a magician working the tables fills that time and gives guests something to talk about.

Across Sheffield & South Yorkshire, daytime acts are booked for weddings and events in and around Sheffield and Doncaster. Venues in the area include Aston Hall Hotel, Whitley Hall Hotel and Wortley Hall, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. You'll find more Sheffield & South Yorkshire venues below, including Cutlers' Hall, Sheffield, Kenwood Hall and Hooton Pagnell Hall, 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.

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.

Prices usually start from around £300 and go up to £1,500 or so. 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. Your quote shows the full price for your date, so you can compare acts on the same basis.

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.
