Other Wedding Entertainment in Sheffield & South Yorkshire

Ceremony musicians and reception acts in Sheffield & South Yorkshire

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.

Sheffield & South Yorkshire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Aston Hall Hotel and Whitley Hall Hotel to Kenwood Hall. The acts on this page travel right across the area, including Sheffield, Barnsley and the Peak District edge, 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.

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

At a glance:

  • Most bookings cost between £300 and £1,500
  • Travel and any amplification are included in the price you're quoted
  • Book one act for the ceremony or cover the whole daytime
  • Summer Saturdays book up first, so enquire early
  • A 14-day change-of-mind refund comes with every booking

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.

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.

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.

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

“I really enjoyed working with Livi ITM. Despite their youth, the band were thoroughly professional and dedicated musicians who brought a fresh dynamic to our music festival. The trio complement each other very well, bringing a warmth to the stage that the audience to engage with. Livi, front and centre, delivered controlled vocals of a seasoned pro, years ahead of her time. I look forward to working with them again.”

“WOW! What an amazing team these guys are. Absolutely exceeded expectations, they had everyone dancing from the 1st song to the last, so chilled out, they had our guests joining in with them, they are so adaptable and read the crowd perfectly. The song snippets on their profile really don't do them justice, I would definitely book them again. Thank you so much for making an amazing day even better!”

“Tommy & Sons were absolutely fabulous. We loved their sets, and so did all our guests. They were genuinely lovely people, and some of our guests were able to get up and sing with them. This was brilliant! Couldn't be happier with our choice to hire Tommy & Sons; comms between hireaband, and the band were excellent and we hope to use them again in the future. Thank you!”

(5)

“The nojitos surpassed all our expectations from start to finish. The clips on Youtube do not do them justice, they managed to perform modern songs in a classic way, like watching Count Basie perform Taylor Swift! Not only will we be booking them again, we'll be passing their details to everyone we know that wants a top quality music set. The whole crowd loved every minute. Absolutely perfect”

(5)

“We booked this band for a charity event.From first contact they were very positive and understanding of the type of evening we wanted, and they delivered exactly as promised.They play a lovely mix of music and are obviously very talented musicians.They offer a sophisticated repertoire of swing era music and we would highly recommend them for this type of occasion.They are also a very nice group of people.”

(5)

“Thank you so much to Ian and the band for an absolutely amazing night last night for my daughter’s wedding! I had so many people asking the name of the band and saying how great they were! You really made it a special evening and got people up on the floor, enjoying themselves! Thanks again, and I’ll be recommending you to anyone looking for a party band.”
