Other Wedding Entertainment on the Isle of Wight
Ceremony, drinks reception and daytime entertainment on the Isle of Wight
The ceremony, the drinks and the wedding breakfast each call for a different kind of entertainment. Couples on the Isle of Wight often book a harpist or quartet for the ceremony, an acoustic act for the drinks and a magician for the tables, building a day that flows from one moment to the next.
Across the Isle of Wight, our acts play ceremony rooms, churches, gardens and marquees in and around Freshwater, Newport and Ryde. Venues in the area include Barton Manor, Royal Ocean Racing Club and East Afton Farmhouse, 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.

At a glance:
- Most bookings cost between £300 and £1,500

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.
Most bookings fall between £300 and £1,500. A solo musician for the ceremony alone sits at the lower end; a string quartet or an act covering the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast sits towards the upper end. Travel and any equipment are included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.
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.
