Wedding Entertainment in Essex
Wedding entertainment in Essex
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 Essex, couples browse here first, see which acts they keep coming back to and let the rest take shape around them.
Popular wedding venues in Essex include Crondon Park, Anne of Cleves Barn and Apton Hall, and our acts play weddings across Brentwood, Southend and Chelmsford. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we can usually say what has worked there before.
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.
Hireaband has been booking live wedding entertainment since 1999. Every act listed here travels to Essex as standard, and PA, lighting (where relevant) and travel costs are always included in the quote you receive.
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
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.
Every act's page has video and audio of the performers who would actually play at your wedding, a full song list and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to judge the style and the atmosphere before you commit.
Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.
