Wedding Entertainment in Bristol

Find your wedding entertainment in Bristol

Every couple wants something different from their wedding entertainment: a full live band to fill the dance floor, a solo singer for the ceremony, or an acoustic duo for the drinks reception. Whatever the format, weddings in Bristol are covered on this page, in one place.

Whether your wedding is near Harbourside, Clifton and Portishead or elsewhere in Bristol, the acts listed here cover the whole area. Local venues include Leigh Court, Aldwick Court Farm and Old Down Manor. Ask your venue early about its finish time and any sound limiter, as both affect which acts suit it.

Not every act does the same job. Some are best for a quiet, elegant ceremony, others for a lively reception or a packed dance floor. Knowing which parts of the day you want to cover makes the choice much easier.

Since 1999, Hireaband has supplied wedding entertainment for couples right across the country. The acts listed here all travel to Bristol, bring the equipment they need and include travel in the price. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.

What to know:

  • Budget from £300 for a ceremony musician and £1,200 to £4,000+ for a band
  • Every quote includes travel and any PA or lighting the act needs
  • Many acts will learn a first dance or special song
  • Solo acts and duos can often be booked at shorter notice
  • Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Some venues have sound limiters, early finishes or restrictions on where acts can set up. Check these early, as they can decide whether a full band, a smaller line-up or a DJ is the better fit.

Expect to pay from around £300 for a solo ceremony musician up to £4,000 or more for a large band with brass. The format matters most, then the date and how long the act plays. Every quote includes travel and any PA or lighting needed, so nothing is added later.

Each act's page carries real video, audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how an act works a room than any description can, so it's worth watching two or three before you shortlist.

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.

“Thank you SO much for an absolutely outstanding performance at our wedding on Saturday night! You guys were incredible, from first dance to last it was just spectacular!! The musicality and professionalism of the entire band was second to none throughout the entire evening. We can't thank you enough for making our wedding night so special. Our guests couldn't praise you enough! Thanks again, we'll be sure to recommend you guys to anyone looking for a top quality function band!”

“My husband talked me into getting a band for our wedding rather than a DJ and I am so glad he did, these guys were amazing! He was never off the dancefloor (and he never dances!) They have songs to suit any type of guest and they really get the crowd involved. My husband has been in several bands himself in the past, so he loved having the opportunity to play drums along with the band for a song, it made the night that little more special, so thank you guys!”
