Other Wedding Entertainment in Suffolk
Wedding day entertainment beyond the band in Suffolk
The ceremony, the drinks and the wedding breakfast each call for a different kind of entertainment. Couples in Suffolk 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 Suffolk, our acts play ceremony rooms, churches, gardens and marquees in and around Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds and Aldeburgh. Venues in the area include Snape Maltings, Hengrave Hall and Butley Priory, 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.

- 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

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.
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.
Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.
