Wedding Entertainment in Leicestershire

Wedding entertainment in Leicestershire

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 Leicestershire are covered on this page, in one place.

Leicestershire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Mythe Barn and Quorn Grange Hotel to Willow Marsh Farm. The acts on this page travel right across the area, including Melton Mowbray, Hinckley and Loughborough, 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.

We've been booking wedding acts since 1999, and every act on this page covers Leicestershire. 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.

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 live band gives you a show and an atmosphere a playlist can't match, while a DJ can play any song you like and takes up less space. Many couples book a band for two sets and have the DJ or the band's playlist carry the rest of the night.

Expect to pay from around £300 for a solo ceremony musician up to £4,000 or more for a large band with brass. The format matters most, then the date and how long the act plays. Every quote includes travel and any PA or lighting needed, so nothing is added later.

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 Leicestershire 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

“The House of Lairds were amazing and helped us having a roaring time while we celebrated our anniversary. They coached us through the traditional dances and played so many of the great songs we flagged ahead of time. They had a good flow in the set and were just all around great people. Hireaband made it super easy to book and manage.”

(5)

“The Balloon Animals were amazing! We are quite picky in our music choice and The Balloon Animals were the perfect choice for us! Don’t go for them if you want a cheesy wedding pop - they don’t play that. But if you like The Beatles, The Doors, Arcade Fire and other classics - they will be the stars of your event! Truly unique.”

(5)

“Me and Sophie just wanted to send a quick email to say how amazing the band were. They were lovely to chat with and their performances were beyond mine and Sophie’s expectations! We are so glad we booked them and even said next time we have some form of event we will definitely book them in again. Please could you pass this over to them. I hope they liked performing at our venue and the crowd/atmosphere made their time enjoyable too.”

“We were absolutely thrilled with The Hartbeats’ performance at our wedding. It was beyond our expectations. Thank you so much. The singing and choice of songs was spot on. The dance floor was packed and this made us so happy to see all of our guests having a great time. We didn’t want it to end! Thank you again.”

“Fairmont were excellent. Very polished and professional and set the perfect tone to our colleague event. They played a great mix of tunes, traditional and contemporary which was great. Would highly recommend.”

“All I’ve received is positive comments and feedback on how amazing you all were!”
