Wedding Entertainment in Buckinghamshire

Bands, DJs and wedding acts in Buckinghamshire

Most couples haven't settled on a format when they start looking. You might be torn between a band and a DJ, or wondering whether a ceremony singer is worth it on top of the evening act. Across Buckinghamshire, couples browse here first, see which acts they keep coming back to and let the rest take shape around them.

Buckinghamshire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Hartwell House & Spa and Huntsmill Farm to The Dairy at Waddesdon. The acts on this page travel right across the area, including Milton Keynes, Marlow and Aylesbury, and are used to working with venue coordinators and sound limiters.

The formats differ a lot. A live band brings energy and a show, a DJ gives you any song you like, and a solo singer or duo suits a ceremony or drinks reception without overwhelming the room. Many couples book one act for the day and another for the evening.

Hireaband has been booking live wedding entertainment since 1999. Every act listed here travels to Buckinghamshire as standard, and PA, lighting (where relevant) and travel costs are always included in the quote you receive.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: from around £300 for a solo act to £1,200 to £4,000 and over for a live band
  • Always included: PA, lighting where relevant and travel costs, in every quote
  • From solo singers and acoustic duos through to full live bands, with line-ups sized to suit your venue
  • Most couples book 12 to 18 months ahead for a summer Saturday, though solo acts and duos can often be booked closer to the date
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

A common pattern is a harpist or quartet for the ceremony, an acoustic act for the drinks, and a band or DJ for the evening. Share your running order when you enquire and we'll suggest acts for each part of the day.

Solo acts and duos usually start from around £300, DJs and smaller bands sit in the middle, and a full live band ranges from £1,200 to £4,000 and over. Summer Saturdays are the busiest dates. The price in your quote includes travel, so it won't change once you've booked.

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.

FAQs

Wedding Entertainment is the full range — live bands, solo singers, duos, acoustic musicians and more — so you can compare every option in one place rather than committing to one format first.

It varies a lot by format — a solo singer or acoustic duo typically starts from around £300, whereas a live band can be anything from £1,200 all the way to £4,000 and over, depending on line-up size. Travel is always included in every quote.

Yes — solo acts and duos are one of the most popular choices for smaller weddings, ceremonies or where budget or space is limited, and they're booked through the same instant-quote process.

Yes, every act listed here travels to Buckinghamshire as standard, with travel costs already included in the quote you receive.

Many acoustic acts and duos can cover ceremony music as well as an evening set — check each act's own page for what's included, or ask us directly when you enquire.

Most couples book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday — earlier is generally safer the bigger the act, since full bands get booked up first.

“We just wanted to drop a quick email to say a massive thank you to you all for making our wedding day so special. It was absolutely perfect for us, and we received so many compliments from our guests on everything. We will share photos of the day in due course with you all, but in the meantime, please accept our heartfelt thanks for everything you have worked so hard on. Love from Mr and Mrs Coutts ❤”

“The Shakers were phenomenal! They had great energy all night and curated the best setlist for our mostly American audience. We were able to pick a short list of songs we especially wanted to hear, and a short list of do-not-play, which made us feel like we had the right amount of input to the big day. We had countless guests shaking their hands and applauding them by the end of the night - the whole group was so talented, we especially loved the saxophone solo in the middle of the dancefloor!”

“The website was easy to navigate with follow up contact from first view til the event. The band were absolutely fabulous! There were people from age seven to into their seventies and they all commented on a great band and a real mix of music to keep everyone on their feet. It was banging! I'd highly recommend them and have already started letting people know where to find them. Thanks so much for making our anniversary party so memorable..”

“The Hartbeats played at our wedding in the evening. They set up quickly and without fuss. They confessed later on that they’d never heard the song we requested for our first dance (by a band called Blind Pilot), however, they played it perfectly and we couldn’t have been happier with it! Guests were dancing and singing all night long to the band, and then to the DJ set afterwards. They played a big part in entertaining our guests in the evening, and we would recommend.”

“Declan was amazing! Reached out before the wedding and discussed the songs and everything was perfect during the ceremony and danced at the drinks reception. Can’t thank him enough for making our day go so effortlessly well!”

(5)

“Brightside were amazing! Great communication from beginning to week of our wedding! They arrived before our agreed time and they worked with our catering company in where to set up etc. We asked for live music and DJ in between sets and they did amazing! We have had so many compliments and how good the band were and also passed on the information for recommendations! So glad we picked these guys! Thank you!!!”
