Solo Singers in Cardiff

Wedding and party singers in Cardiff

A solo singer is one of the simplest ways to add live music to a wedding or party. In Cardiff, singers are booked for the walk down the aisle, the drinks reception, the wedding breakfast and smaller celebrations, bringing a personal touch that recorded music can't match.

Popular wedding venues in Cardiff include De Courceys Manor, Hensol Castle and Llanerch Vineyard, and our solo singers travel to weddings and events across Cardiff, Penarth and Barry. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. Further down this page are more local venues, such as National Museum Cardiff, Miskin Manor and Cardiff Castle, with details of each.

A good solo singer reads the room. During a ceremony that means gentle, well-chosen songs; at a drinks reception, familiar tunes at a comfortable volume; and later in the day, a livelier set if guests want to dance.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for weddings since 1999. Every solo singer listed here travels to Cardiff as standard, and the instant quote button on this page shows pricing and availability for your date.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £250 to £900, depending on how long they perform and the date
  • Your quote shows exactly what's included
  • Ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast packages available from many acts
  • Most couples book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

A singer with guitar suits a relaxed drinks reception or a ceremony in a smaller room. A singer-pianist works well where there's a piano at the venue, or for a more classic feel. Singers using backing tracks give you the sound of a full band from one performer, which suits a party or a later evening set.

Prices usually start from around £250 and go up to £900 or so. A single set for the ceremony sits at the lower end, while a singer covering the ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast, or an evening set, sits towards the upper end. Your quote shows the full price for your date, so you can compare acts on the same basis.

Each act's page carries real video and audio, a repertoire list and reviews from previous clients. Watching a couple of clips tells you far more than any description can, so it's worth listening before you choose.

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 day. 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

Most cover the ceremony, the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast, and some also play an evening set. Many can learn a special song for the aisle or the first dance.

Yes. Singer-guitarists and singers using backing tracks bring everything they need. Singer-pianists usually bring a digital piano if the venue in Cardiff doesn't have one.

Typically £250 to £900, depending on how long they perform and the date. Your quote shows exactly what's included.

Most can, given a few weeks' notice. Mention it when you enquire and the singer will confirm.

“James was absolutely brilliant, he created the most amazing atmosphere and our wedding reception just would not have been the same without him. James is not only a hugely talented artist, but he was excellent with our guests. For the first part he played at a level that people could enjoy his music and still have a conversation, the energy then increased towards the end with people dancing and singing along. Just perfect, I cannot recommend him highly enough”

“I hope you got back ok on Saturday night. We just wanted to thank you for making our wedding evening so perfect. The music was amazing and everyone really enjoyed it. Slightly biased, but I have never been to a wedding when the dance floor has been so full for so much of the night! Looking forward to seeing the photos. Thanks again”

“Fantastic Singer and Entertainer. Very versatile from Solo Artist, DJ. Greg has a wide range of songs from 60s to present day and can adapt to any age group or type of party mood or function to suit individual needs. Absolutely brilliant entertainer and value for money. We have used him on several occasions and went down a storm every time.”

“Dale is a very talented musician with great ability on both bass and vocally. Dale covers all styles of music expertly and understands the role in enhancing guest experiences on board, encouraging their enjoyment in bars and dance areas. Dale’s onstage performance is always full of energy and he displays a clear passion for the music he is playing.”

“I’d recommend Ian without hesitation. Not only is he a huge talent with a fine repertoire, he is a genuinely good guy who was friendly and communicative during the build-up to my wedding. On the day itself he went above and beyond what I’d expect from a performer by allowing my son (a beginner on guitar) to play along to one of his songs. Ian is a top talent and a top man.”

“Joe was perfect for our wedding. He played and sang beautifully both during the reception and for 3 hours during the reception dinner and after-party. He made our day even more special. My family kept him busy all night making all kinds of song requests and he played them all! Booking him again for my mum's birthday party next year.”
