Solo Singers in Swansea

Hire a solo singer in Swansea

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 Swansea, solo singers are booked for exactly those moments, and many also play parties and private celebrations.

Across Swansea, solo singers are booked for weddings and events in and around Swansea, Mumbles and Neath. Venues in the area include Fairyhill, Craig y Nos Castle and Oldwalls Gower, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. You'll find more Swansea venues below, including Morgans Hotel, Sketty Hall and Oxwich Bay Hotel, 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.

We've been booking wedding entertainment since 1999, and every solo singer on this page covers Swansea. You can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

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.

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.

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.

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 Swansea 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.

“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.”

“Alan was fantastic, he played 3 sets with the middle one being Elton John which was fabulous. He read the crowd and knew exactly what would get everyone going. We had a mixed age range and everyone loved it. Highly recommend Alan for any party.
Thanks to the team at Hire a Band for organising everything for us.”

“His vast range of musical talent shone through and was picked up on by the feedback from the guests most of whom had never heard Jack play before. A special thanks to Jack also for learning a very special song for our first dance it meant a lot to us. He is so versatile in what he can play that we would not hesitate in recommending him for your special day. …”

“Absolutely fantastic performances and sets, everyone totally loved the vibe and the amazing performers- everyone was asking who they were and how I found them. When it rained they came off the stage and performed inside the marquee creating a really intimate magical moment, and graciously did a couple of requests for us all to join in on - couldn't have asked for more or better, simply brilliant! 11/10 thanks so much”

“We booked Marcus for our wedding reception at the beginning of August. I would thoroughly recommend him for any similar events. Communication prior was prompt & courteous, insurances etc provided for the venue without any hassle. Most importantly on the day itself he was professional, and all of the guests very much enjoyed his performances. Thank you Marcus for your involvement in our special day”
