Solo Singers in Manchester

Hire a solo singer in Manchester

A solo singer is one of the simplest ways to add live music to a wedding or party. In Manchester, 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.

Whether your wedding is near Manchester, Salford and Stockport or further afield, the solo singers here cover the whole of Manchester. Local venues include Victoria Warehouse, Victoria Baths and The Principal / Kimpton Clocktower, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Ordsall Hall, The Whitworth and The Midland Hotel are among the other Manchester venues listed further down, each with its own page.

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.

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

The essentials:

• Prices usually from £250 up to £900
• Many acts can cover more than one part of the day in a single booking
• Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to enquire early
• The quote you receive sets out exactly what's included
• 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking

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.

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.
