Wedding Entertainment in Gloucestershire

Bands, DJs and wedding acts in Gloucestershire

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 Gloucestershire are covered on this page, in one place.

Gloucestershire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Hyde House and Tortworth Court to Cripps Barn. The acts on this page travel right across the area, including Cirencester, Tewkesbury and Cheltenham, and are used to working with venue coordinators and sound limiters.

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 Gloucestershire 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.

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 to £4,000 and over, depending on the line-up and the date. PA, lighting where relevant and travel are included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.

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.

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.

FAQs

Reviews

“Absolutely outstanding!! These guys played at our wedding and were simply amazing. They played everything we wanted and Matt could sing such a wide range of different songs - all superbly. David (my husband) played with them for 1 song which was just brilliant and they were so supportive to make this happen. We would highly recommend this band for any occasion, such energy and thoroughly nice men. Next party we have we will be booking them for sure”

“Wow! What a band. I can't thank you enough for your wonderful performance at our wedding on Saturday. To say you rocked the place is a massive understatement. All of our guests were talking about you and even the venue staff were dancing. You were just brilliant. I wish we could do it all over again. Thanks to The Bond for giving us a night to remember.”

“Rachel and all the staff at hireaband were absolutely amazing from start to finish - so helpful and friendly. The Jack dames were such good entertainers and really kept everyone going - my legs still hurt from all the jumping around. Such a great variety of music and everyone loved them.”

(5)

“There are only two words to describe James - World Class. He nailed the brief and really annoyed the hotel staff because people were dancing instead of eating. Brilliant stuff. Thanks James.”

“DeVille were fantastic at our wedding. We found them through the website so was always a bit of a risk having never heard them live (only through the website recordings) but they did not disappoint. Many of our guests talked so highly of their playing and the quality. They quietly set up while we finished off our meal and were ready to start even if we weren’t but they were so patient and also accommodated a few wee extras. Would recommend in a heartbeat!”

(5)

“The band were absolutely brilliant. They were as good if not better than their promotional videos. We have been overwhelmed with positive feedback from our guests. We were so pleased at the flexibility of the band who were keen to make sure that we had a great evening. They were enjoyed so much that I know at least two of our guests are contemplating hiring them for their own special occasions. Thank you so much, you help make our day so memorable.”
