Other Wedding Entertainment in North Yorkshire

Wedding day entertainment beyond the band in North Yorkshire

Most weddings have long gaps between the big moments, while photos are taken and the room is turned around. Live music or a roaming act fills those gaps and keeps guests entertained. Across North Yorkshire, couples book ceremony musicians and reception acts to shape the whole day, not just the evening.

Across North Yorkshire, our acts play ceremony rooms, churches, gardens and marquees in and around Thirsk, Ripon and Whitby. Venues in the area include Howard Court, Crayke Manor and Danby Castle, 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.

Since 1999, Hireaband has supplied ceremony and reception acts for weddings of every size. The acts listed here all travel to North Yorkshire, 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.

The essentials:

• Typical cost: £300 to £1,500, depending on the act, how long they play and the date
• Always included: travel costs and any amplification the act needs, in every quote
• From solo musicians for the ceremony to quartets, ensembles and roaming acts for the drinks reception
• Most couples book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday
• Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

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.

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.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio and a song list. Underneath are reviews from clients who have already booked them, often at venues you'll recognise. Between them you'll have a clear picture of the wedding well before the day.

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.
