Solo Singers in Kent

Wedding and party singers in Kent

A live singer turns key moments of a wedding into memories: the walk down the aisle, the signing of the register, the drinks on the lawn. In Kent, solo singers are booked for exactly those moments, and many also play parties and private celebrations.

Kent has a wide choice of wedding venues, from The Beacon and Preston Court to East Quay Venue. Our solo singers travel to towns across the area, including Canterbury, Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Cooling Castle Barn, One Warwick Park and Port Lympne, with details of each.

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.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched couples with live entertainment for their wedding day. The solo singers listed here all travel to Kent, and the instant quote button shows pricing and availability in a few seconds.

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.

Most solo singer bookings fall between £250 and £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. The date and time of year make up the rest of the difference, so a weekday or winter date can cost less than a summer Saturday.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the performer you would be booking, with videos, audio, a repertoire list and reviews. Between them you can get a clear sense of the act well before the day.

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

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 Kent 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.

“Paul is such a lovely guy and he kept in touch frequently in the run-up to the wedding. Paul was happy to play songs we requested and not to play songs we asked him not to. He played the music we requested in between his usual set and guests commented on how good the music was. Paul also made announcements for the first dance etc. which was great. Overall we were delighted we had booked Paul and highly recommend him for your wedding.”

“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”

“Just wanted to drop you an email to say a HUGE thank you for Saturday night!! You were absolutely fantastic - you really made our night perfect. Everyone keeps saying how amazing you were - Also thanks for letting the budding Take That singers take to the floor!! We are already planning another charity event next year, so we can book you again!”

“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”
