Wedding Daytime Entertainment in the West Midlands

Book daytime acts anywhere in the West Midlands

Finding the right daytime act is easier when you can see every option in one place. This page covers all of the West Midlands, from Warwick, Leamington Spa, Telford, Stafford, Malvern and Hereford, and every act listed travels to venues across the region for ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts.

Across Birmingham, Coventry, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire, the daytime acts listed here play ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts. Use the area links lower down if you'd like a list narrowed to one part of the West Midlands.

Venues across the West Midlands that our acts know well include Ragley Hall and Wootton Park, Wistanstow Village Hall and The Mill at Stone, and Birtsmorton Court and Eastnor Castle. Every venue has its own space, power supply and finish time, and we'll check those with the act for you.

The category covers acoustic duos, singers, pianists, string players and roaming acts for the hours before the evening party. Their pages show exactly what each one plays, so you can match the act to your guests and your venue.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment since 1999. Every act listed here covers the West Midlands, and travel and any amplification are included in the quote you receive. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

What to know:

  • Budget £300 to £1,500 for most bookings
  • Every quote includes travel and any amplification
  • Travel within the West Midlands is never added on later
  • Many acts offer longer or extra sets if you need them
  • Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Some venues have sound limiters, early finishes or restrictions on where acts can set up. Check these early, as they can decide which line-up is the better fit for your wedding.

Most bookings fall between £300 and £1,500. The size of the line-up is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long the act plays. Travel and any amplification are included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay, wherever you are in the West Midlands.

Every act's page has video and audio of the performers who would actually play at your wedding, a full song list and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to judge the style 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 event. 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 the West Midlands 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.

“"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!”

(5)

“We had the Anatole Quartet play at our wedding and we can't recommend them enough. Dan was incredibly helpful and professional and nothing was too much trouble. An example of this was when they learnt how to play one of the Star Wars tunes to play during the ceremony, which went down exceptionally well with all our guests. They were a great addition to our wedding and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again.”
