Other Wedding Entertainment in Warwickshire

Ceremony, drinks reception and daytime entertainment in Warwickshire

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 Warwickshire, couples book ceremony musicians and reception acts to shape the whole day, not just the evening.

Across Warwickshire, our acts play ceremony rooms, churches, gardens and marquees in and around Rugby, Warwick and Kenilworth. Venues in the area include Ragley Hall, Shustoke Barn and Compton Verney, 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 Warwickshire. 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
  • 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

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.

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.

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.

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

“Gentlemen of the Road played at our wedding reception, we loved the performance and style. The guys really made the evening special and played our first dance music, which they learnt especially for us. All of our guests commented on how good the music was and how it created the perfect relaxed and fun atmosphere to our wedding reception. Thanks so much it was a perfect end to our wedding day.”

“For my 40th birthday last November, I wanted to re-create some swing style magic for myself and my friends. And with Gentlemen of the Road that's exactly what I got. The set list was awesome, and you can tell the band love what they do as the sound they produced was wonderful. I can't recommend them highly enough. Two long sets just wasn't enough! Thanks guys, we had an incredible evening.”

“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!”

(5)

“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!”

“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”
