Other Wedding Entertainment in Wiltshire
Ceremony, drinks reception and daytime entertainment in Wiltshire
Other wedding entertainment covers the specialist and smaller acts that most weddings add around the main band: solo singers, acoustic duos, harpists, pianists, classical guitarists, string quartets, close-up magicians and roaming musicians. Couples in Wiltshire book them for the ceremony, the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast.
Whether your wedding is near Devizes, Marlborough and Chippenham or elsewhere in Wiltshire, the acts listed here cover the whole area. Local venues include Barford Park Barn, Ashley Wood Farm and The Manor House, Castle Combe. For an outdoor ceremony or drinks reception, it's worth agreeing a covered back-up spot with the venue.
Each act is booked for a particular part of the day. Harpists, pianists and string quartets suit the ceremony, acoustic duos and solo singers suit the drinks reception, and magicians and roaming musicians work between groups of guests. Many can learn a special song for the aisle or the signing of the register.
Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for weddings since 1999. Every act listed here travels to Wiltshire as standard, brings the equipment it needs, and sets up around the timings of your day. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

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.
A solo singer, guitarist or harpist for the ceremony typically starts from around £300, while a quartet or a magician for the whole daytime can reach £1,500 or more. The price in your quote includes travel, so it won't change once you've booked.
Each act's page carries real video, audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how an act works a room than any description can, so it's worth watching two or three before you shortlist.
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.
