Other Wedding Entertainment in Cumbria

Specialist wedding entertainment across Cumbria

Other wedding entertainment covers the specialist and smaller acts that most weddings add around the main band: solo singers, acoustic duos, harpists, pianists, classical guitarists, string quartets, close-up magicians and roaming musicians. Couples in Cumbria book them for the ceremony, the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast.

Cumbria has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Storrs Hall and Askham Hall to Broadoaks Country House. The acts on this page travel right across the area, including Keswick, Carlisle and Penrith, 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.

Since 1999, Hireaband has supplied ceremony and reception acts for weddings of every size. The acts listed here all travel to Cumbria, bring what they need to be heard and include travel in the price. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.

What to know:

• Budget £300 for a solo ceremony musician up to £1,500 for a quartet covering the day
• Every quote includes travel and the act's equipment
• Many acts will learn a special song for the aisle
• Acoustic acts can play without power in most spaces
• Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

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.

Expect to pay from around £300 for a solo musician up to £1,500 or more for an ensemble covering several parts of the day. The act, the length of the booking and the date make the biggest difference. Every quote includes travel, so nothing is added later.

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 and the atmosphere before you commit.

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 event. 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.
