Other Wedding Entertainment in Dorset
Wedding day entertainment beyond the band in Dorset
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.
Popular wedding venues in Dorset include Lulworth Castle, Parley Manor and Symondsbury Tithe Barn, and our acts perform at weddings across Sherborne, Dorchester and Poole. Tell us your venue and running order when you enquire and we'll suggest acts for each part of the day.
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.

Think about where the act will be and what guests will be doing. A harpist, pianist or string quartet suits a ceremony room or a church, where the music needs to carry without amplification. A drinks reception outdoors is better served by an acoustic duo, a roaming band or a solo singer with a small PA.
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.
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.
