Other Wedding Entertainment in Cheshire

Specialist wedding entertainment across Cheshire

The hours before the evening band starts are where the right entertainment makes the biggest difference. A singer for the aisle, a string quartet over the canapés or a magician working the tables keeps the day moving and gives guests something to talk about between the photos.

Cheshire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Peckforton Castle and Combermere Abbey to Abbeywood Estate. The acts on this page travel right across the area, including Macclesfield, Knutsford and Chester, and fit around your ceremony time, photos and wedding breakfast.

Not every act does the same job. Some are best for a quiet, elegant ceremony, others for a lively drinks reception on the lawn. Knowing where the act will be and what guests will be doing makes the choice much easier.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for weddings since 1999. Every act listed here travels to Cheshire as standard, brings the equipment it needs, and sets up around the timings of your day. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

At a glance:

  • Most bookings cost between £300 and £1,500
  • Travel and any amplification are included in the price you're quoted
  • Book one act for the ceremony or cover the whole daytime
  • Summer Saturdays book up first, so enquire early
  • A 14-day change-of-mind refund comes with every booking

Check with your registrar or officiant before choosing ceremony music, as some venues and churches have rules on what can be played. Most ceremony musicians will send a list of popular entrance and signing pieces, and many will learn a special request.

A solo singer, guitarist or harpist for the ceremony typically starts from around £300, while a quartet or a magician for the whole daytime can reach £1,500 or more. The price in your quote includes travel, so it won't change once you've booked.

Each act's page carries real video, audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how an act works a room than any description can, so it's worth watching two or three before you shortlist.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.

FAQs

Everything around the main evening band: ceremony and drinks reception musicians such as solo singers, harpists, pianists, guitarists and string quartets, plus acoustic duos, roaming musicians and close-up magicians.

Many can, given enough notice — mention it when you enquire and the act will confirm whether they can add it to their repertoire for your day.

Harpists, pianists, guitarists and string quartets usually play acoustically in a ceremony room or church; singers and duos bring a small, discreet PA for larger rooms or outdoor spaces.

Yes — booking the same musician or ensemble for the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast is common, and usually works out better value than separate bookings.

Typically £300 to £1,500, depending on the act, how long they perform and the date — travel is always included in the quote.

Most couples book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday when the most popular acts go quickly.

“We thought Ian Was amazing! All our guests said how brilliant his voice was and how much they enjoyed his take on classic songs. He was very easy to contact when we were planning everything and even agreed to sing a few songs in memory of my late Mum and Dad. We booked him immediately after hearing him on an agency web site! Thanks for being a part of our special day Ian.”

“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. …”

“Hi. We would like to record our appreciation to Declan Daniel for the music he played at our wedding reception last Saturday. Many of the guests commented on the quality of his playing and there is no doubt that Declan's music added a very special ingredient to our special day. Please pass on our thanks and best wishes for his musical career. Many thanks also for a very efficient service. Best wishes”

“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.”

“Absolutely fantastic performances and sets, everyone totally loved the vibe and the amazing performers- everyone was asking who they were and how I found them. When it rained they came off the stage and performed inside the marquee creating a really intimate magical moment, and graciously did a couple of requests for us all to join in on - couldn't have asked for more or better, simply brilliant! 11/10 thanks so much”

“On behalf of Crawley United Reformed Church I would like to thank the band for performing at our Bacon Buttie Brunch. They have a brilliant talent, with Livi having a unique voice and their eclectic range of songs entertained a wide range of ages in the audience. We will happily ask them to play for us again and are delighted that the group will be using the church premises to rehearse.”
