Other Wedding Entertainment in East Sussex

Ceremony musicians and reception acts in East Sussex

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 East Sussex book them for the ceremony, the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast.

East Sussex has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Buxted Park Hotel and Flimwell Park to Chalk Farm. The acts on this page travel right across the area, including Brighton, Hastings and Eastbourne, and fit around your ceremony time, photos and wedding breakfast.

Within this category you'll find solo singers, acoustic duos, harpists, pianists, classical guitarists, string quartets and ensembles, close-up magicians and roaming bands. Their pages list exactly what they play, and most will add a requested piece or two.

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.
