Other Wedding Entertainment in Hull & East Yorkshire

Specialist wedding entertainment across Hull & East Yorkshire

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 Hull & East Yorkshire book them for the ceremony, the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast.

Across Hull & East Yorkshire, our acts play ceremony rooms, churches, gardens and marquees in and around Bridlington, Howden and Hull. Venues in the area include Burton Constable Hall, The Beverley Barn and Rise Hall, and our performers are used to moving between spaces as the day goes on.

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.

We've been booking wedding entertainment since 1999, and every act on this page covers Hull & East Yorkshire. Travel and any amplification are built into the quote, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

At a glance:

  • Most bookings cost between £300 and £1,500
  • Travel and any amplification are included in the price you're quoted

Most couples book one act for the ceremony and drinks, then a band or DJ for the evening. Some add a magician during the wedding breakfast or a roaming act while the room is turned around. Share your timings when you enquire and we'll suggest what fits.

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.

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.

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.

Reviews

(5)

“Thank you for a wonderful performance. Jack and Tee were excellent, got everyone up dancing, the music was good enough to satisfy my very fussy musical family and that's saying something. All the guests thought they were great and gave them excellent reviews. We highly recommend them and will not hesitate to call them for another family function. Flexible, current and worth every penny. (10 / 10)”

“Dear Hireaband, We would like to thank you very much for providing the Smooth Jazz Duo to play at our wedding ceremony and champagne reception, at Turnberry on 10th Sept. They were absolutely brilliant, and their music was perfect for both the ceremony and drinks reception after. Our guests loved their music, and they definitely added to the occasion. We can't thank you and the boys enough.”

“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)

“You guys are the full package! We'd been looking everywhere for a band that could deliver exactly what we wanted for our special day, and the last thing we wanted to do was hire the piper and the band and the ceilidh band separately - you guys did all three and nailed it! Jordan's piping created the perfect atmosphere for the ceremony, and the ceilidh got everyone on their feet. Thanks for everything!”

(5)

“Before the event Dave did everything possible to work with us and make sure that it all went without a hitch, which was much appreciated. He and the rest of his group were friendly and professional throughout, and our guests loved seeing the joy they so clearly get from what they do. We hadn’t tried jazz at our hotel before, but it went down really well and we received lots of great feedback.”

(5)

“Hi both, we've had many compliments from our guests about your performances and we couldn't be more pleased with how things went. Not only did you provide fantastic live music, but you did it in a tight spot with minimal help from us! We sincerely believe that we could not have chosen a better band for the day and want to thank you both for coming. Mr & Mrs Miller :)”
