Wedding Entertainment in Kent

Wedding entertainment in Kent

The right entertainment can carry a wedding from the aisle to the dance floor. Couples in Kent book everything from a harpist for the ceremony to a full band with brass for the evening, and many combine two or three acts across the day.

Kent has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Cooling Castle Barn and East Quay Venue to Goodnestone Park. The acts on this page travel right across the area, including Sevenoaks, Ashford and Canterbury, and are used to working with venue coordinators and sound limiters.

Within this category you'll find wedding bands, DJs, solo singers, acoustic duos, string quartets, harpists, magicians and roaming acts. Their pages show exactly what they play, and most will learn a first dance or a special song if you ask.

We've been booking wedding acts since 1999, and every act on this page covers Kent. PA, lighting where needed and travel are built into the quote, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

At a glance:

Solo acts start from around £300; live bands range from £1,200 to £4,000 and over
PA, lighting where relevant and travel are included in the price you're quoted

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.

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 Kent 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.

Reviews

“We did something a little bit different and organised for the piper to play on the Sunday morning after our wedding to welcome our guests for breakfast. Our piper was brilliant. He was punctual and professional. He had good communication throughout. Our guests, especially our English relatives couldn’t stop raving about him and he was kind enough to have photos taken also. Would highly recommend. Colin was friendly and approachable and a great musician.”

“Uptones Duo were the perfect start to our wedding day. All of our guests commented on how beautiful they sounded at the ceremony and during our reception drinks. I couldn’t have asked for more, thank you for helping to make our day so special.”

“Mirror were absolutely amazing at our wedding, from the 3 piece jazz band during reception drinks through to the 8 piece evening band, the music was incredible and kept everyone on the dance floor. Since the wedding so many people have commented on just how good the band were and we couldn't agree more. We'd seen Mirror 2x before and they just get better each time - I couldn't recommend them more highly, the dance floor stayed packed the whole night - thank you!”

“Justin was amazing. Right on time, right on cue and took all our requests and made most of them possible without dropping a beat! Communication was great too, we spoke live only once before, but then when he came it's like we've known each other since forever. Would hire him again anytime!!!”

“Marcus played at our wedding on Saturday and everyone just loved him. Our guests talked about him all night and since the wedding we've heard nothing but praise. The weather did its best to dampen our spirits but Marcus just added a ray of sunshine to the whole day.”

“Konrad played during our afternoon drinks reception at our wedding. We asked for a mix of music and he hit that brief perfectly for us. All of our guests said how nice it was to have live Sax music played during that part of the day and we couldn't agree more. Finally we were played into our meal and it really set the tone perfectly for a fun party for the rest of the night. I cannot recommend Konrad more and will definitely be booking through HireABand again.”
