Solo Singers in Derbyshire

Wedding and party singers in Derbyshire

A solo singer is one of the simplest ways to add live music to a wedding or party. In Derbyshire, 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 Derbyshire include Shottle Hall, The Roundhouse, Derby and Donington Park Farmhouse, and our solo singers travel to weddings and events across Derby, Chesterfield and Matlock. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. Makeney Hall Hotel, Osmaston Park and Callow Hall are among the other Derbyshire venues listed further down, each with its own page.

The right singer depends on the feel you want. A singer-guitarist gives a relaxed, acoustic sound; a singer-pianist feels more classic; a crooner brings the swing era into the room; and a singer with backing tracks can sound like a full band.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for weddings since 1999. Every solo singer listed here travels to Derbyshire 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

Think about the part of the day you want covered and the kind of songs you like. For a ceremony, choose a singer whose repertoire includes the songs you want for the aisle and the signing. For a party, look for a singer with an upbeat set list and a PA big enough for the room.

Expect to pay from around £250 up to £900. 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. Busy Saturdays in summer and December sit at the top of the range, and your quote shows exactly what's included.

Every act's page has video and audio of the performer you would actually book, along with their repertoire and written reviews from couples who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the sound before you commit.

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.

Many do. Some accompany themselves on guitar or piano, while others sing to backing tracks for a fuller sound. Each singer's page shows exactly how they perform.

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

Very little. A small corner of the room and a standard power socket is usually enough.

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.

“Marcus really made our perfect day complete, he sang and played guitar doing three sets throughout the day, and did an outstanding job. All of our guests have commented on how good he was and how it made the day that bit more special. We would highly recommend Marcus to anyone, nothing was too much trouble for him, he even learnt a new song for us. Thank you once again from Ash & Cobie”

“Wow..."Newcastle's got talent" I'm struggling to find words that will do justice to highlight the performance Neil gave at my daughter's wedding. We were blown away with his ability to go from Roy Orbison to Pablo Nutini, his vocal range is awesome, an extremely talented musician. Neil is a dedicated professional on every level from start to finish. He is a true gentleman, one of life's treasures, hurry and book him, before his diary is full...He adds that special touch to any occasion.”

“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.”
