Wedding Entertainment Bristol

Wedding Entertainment in Bristol

Your wedding day deserves more than one great moment — it deserves a whole day of them. At Hireaband, we offer a carefully chosen range of wedding entertainment for Bristol couples that goes well beyond the evening band. Whether you are looking for something elegant and intimate for your drinks reception, something unique to surprise your guests during the afternoon, or something high-energy to close out the night, we have the right act for every part of your day.

Bristol has one of the most creative, eclectic wedding scenes in the UK, and the entertainment on this page reflects that. From beautiful acoustic duos and sophisticated jazz acts perfect for ceremonies and receptions, through to swing bands, roaming performers and full party bands — there is something here for every style of Bristol wedding.

Every act on our roster has been personally vetted for talent, professionalism and reliability. Here is what is available for your Bristol wedding:

  • Boss Acoustic — Available as a solo, duo or trio, Boss Acoustic is the ideal choice for wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions and relaxed daytime entertainment. Beautiful, understated and effortlessly professional. From £900.
  • XY Duo — Stripped-back acoustic versions of your favourite songs, delivered with real intimacy and warmth. Perfect for daytime entertainment or background music during your wedding breakfast. From £1,045.
  • The Blue Notes — A three-piece roaming acoustic band with male vocals. A brilliant option if you want live music that moves around your venue and mingles naturally with your guests. From £1,600.
  • Blue Note Jazz — A duo or trio of sax, guitar and drums performing jazz standards and modern covers. Sophisticated, timeless and ideal for creating a relaxed, stylish atmosphere during a drinks reception or wedding breakfast. From £595.
  • Velvet Jazz — A two to five-piece jazz band with beautiful female vocals. One of the most elegant daytime entertainment options on our roster, and a perfect fit for Georgian and country house venues across the Bristol area. From £525.
  • Vintage Jukebox — A swing band performing the biggest hits of the last 40 years with a vintage twist. If you want something that feels glamorous, joyful and a little bit unexpected, this is the act. From £2,295.
  • Eccentric Pony — Billed as the ultimate party band, Eccentric Pony does it all — huge repertoire, incredible energy and a free manned DJ service included. If you want a band that takes full ownership of the room and never lets the dancefloor empty, look no further. From £1,300.
  • Monte Carlo Club Live — A completely unique live band and DJ combination performing club classics live. If you want your wedding reception to feel like the best night out your guests have ever had, this is the act. From £2,750.
  • Monte Carlo 80s — All the biggest 80s hits performed live by a full band with male vocals. A brilliant choice for couples who want a nostalgic, high-energy evening that every generation of guest will love. From £2,750.
  • The Hartbeats — Three male vocalists, acoustic and electric options, and a huge song list that covers everything from laid-back daytime sets to full evening performances. One of the most versatile acts on our roster. From £1,695.
  • Pinstripe — A four-piece rock and pop covers band with male vocals. Solid, reliable and great value for couples who want a dependable evening party band with a broad appeal. From £1,130.

The right entertainment is not just about the act — it is about how it fits the space. Our team knows Bristol and South West venues well, and we can help you match the right act to the right moment in your day.

For outdoor ceremonies and garden receptions at venues like Aldwick Estate or Old Down Estate, a roaming acoustic act such as The Blue Notes or Boss Acoustic creates a magical, natural feel without overwhelming the space. For grand ballrooms and Georgian rooms at venues like Clevedon Hall or Hamswell House, the refined elegance of Velvet Jazz or Blue Note Jazz during the drinks reception sets exactly the right tone before the evening band takes over.

If your Bristol wedding has an eclectic, party-focused feel — think converted spaces, industrial venues or late-night receptions — Eccentric Pony and Monte Carlo Club Live are built for exactly that kind of energy.

Not sure which act is right for your venue? Our team is always happy to advise. You can also explore our full range of wedding bands in Bristol if you are looking for a full evening band alongside your daytime entertainment.

We offer a wide range of acts for every part of your wedding day, including acoustic solos, duos and trios for ceremonies and drinks receptions, jazz and swing bands for elegant daytime entertainment, roaming performers, and full evening party bands. Browse all available acts above.

Absolutely. Many couples book a quieter acoustic or jazz act for the daytime and a separate party band for the evening. Our team can help you plan a programme of entertainment that flows naturally across the whole day. Just get in touch and we will talk you through the options.

Prices vary depending on the type and size of act. On this page, acts start from £525 for an intimate jazz duo right through to £2,750 for a full party band and DJ combination. Every quote includes travel, so the price you see is the price you pay.

We recommend booking 12 months ahead where possible, especially for popular summer Saturdays. Some of our most sought-after acts fill their diaries very early. That said, if your date is closer, always get in touch — we often have availability at shorter notice than you might expect.

Yes — all of our acts are fully self-contained and arrive with everything they need to perform. For acoustic and jazz acts this typically means a small, discreet PA system suitable for ceremonies and receptions. For evening party bands it means a full professional sound system and often stage lighting too. Everything included will be clearly stated in your quote.

Yes — many of our Bristol couples book both. You can explore our full selection of wedding bands in Bristol alongside the acts on this page, and our team can help you coordinate everything so it all fits together seamlessly on the day.

In the extremely unlikely event of an emergency, Hireaband will work immediately to find a suitable replacement. It is one of the key advantages of booking through an established agency — you have a dedicated team in your corner if anything unexpected arises.
