Wedding Entertainment in the East of England

Book wedding acts anywhere in the East of England

From St Albans, Ipswich, Luton, Chelmsford, Cambridge and King's Lynn, the East of England has a huge choice of venues and a busy calendar of ceremonies, drinks receptions and evening parties. The wedding acts on this page cover the whole region, and many play several dates a month within it.

Our listings for the East of England take in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. Each of those areas has its own page too, which you'll find in the links further down, but the acts here will travel to any of them.

Venues across the East of England that our acts know well include North Hill Farm and Butley Priory, Bunkers Barn and Maidens Barn, and Madingley Hall and Manor Mews. Every venue has its own space, power supply and finish time, and we'll check those with the act for you.

Across the East of England you can choose from wedding bands, DJs, solo singers, acoustic duos, string quartets, harpists, magicians and roaming acts. Most will take a few requests ahead of the day, and many can learn a special song if you ask.

We've been booking wedding acts since 1999, and every act on this page travels across the East of England. Travel, plus PA and lighting where relevant are built into the quote, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

What to know:

  • Budget £300 to £4,000 for most bookings
  • Every quote includes travel, plus PA and lighting where relevant
  • Travel within the East of England is never added on later
  • Many acts offer longer or extra sets if you need them
  • Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Start with the space and the guest numbers. A smaller line-up suits an intimate room or a venue with a sound limiter, while a larger act fills a ballroom or marquee. Tell us the venue and numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.

Expect to pay from around £300 up to £4,000 or more for a larger line-up. The act, the date and your set times make the biggest difference. Every quote includes travel, plus PA and lighting where relevant, so nothing is added later.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio and a song list. Underneath are reviews from clients, often at venues you'll recognise.

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 the East of England 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.

“Eccentric Pony were absolutely incredible! I don’t think we could have found a better band to play at our wedding reception. They transformed the evening into a night to remember. All of our guests have been telling us how amazing the band was and how much they enjoyed them. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a high energy, professional band. All I can say is a huge thankyou to Jimmy and the rest of the band members for making our wedding reception perfect!”

(5)

“The band, The Nicholas McDonald band, played at my daughter's wedding and I must say we were all very impressed. The music was fantastic and the volume was just right too which was very important to me as we had some older guests who normally don't enjoy live music. Nicholas as so nice to everyone and the band were real gentlemen. They sounded great and really added to Claire and Phillip's big day.”

(5)

“We had a fantastic night and everyone, and I mean everyone, was raving about Crawford and the boys! I am sure you will have seen his rendition of "Caruso" (in memory of my late husband) ....just something else!! ...as I said on my fb post, I believe there is NO other band on the circuit who could have been presented with a famous Italian song a few weeks before the wedding, learn it, deliver it and move all the Italians to tears and everyone else there.. Outstanding !!”

(5)

“Andy played during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception and he was absolutely incredible. Walking down the aisle to Andy playing a soft version of my favourite song is something il never forget and it was absolutely no bother for him to learn the song for us. During the drinks reception he played such a wide range of different songs and his voice is just amazing! Such a talent and really made our wedding extra special. Thanks so much Andy, we could listen to you play all day!”

(5)

“Karl and the band were excellent. I was apprehensive about having a Céilidh for the wedding as a number of our guests had never done one before but Karl was really good at explaining the moves and the guests absolutely loved it. It was a real feature of our wedding that everyone will remember for years to come. Thank you Hickory Smoke, I would recommend you to anyone.”

(5)

“The band were incredible for our wedding reception, they were able to read the room well and the dance floor always had someone on it throwing their moves. Thank you so much for making our day that little bit more special.”
