Wedding Entertainment in Northamptonshire

Live wedding entertainment across Northamptonshire

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 Northamptonshire, couples browse here first, see which acts they keep coming back to and let the rest take shape around them.

Northamptonshire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Rushton Hall and Delapre Abbey to Home Farm Events. The acts on this page travel right across the area, including Daventry, Kettering and Wellingborough, 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.

Since 1999, Hireaband has supplied wedding entertainment for couples right across the country. The acts listed here all travel to Northamptonshire, bring the equipment they need and include travel in the price. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.

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.

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.

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 who have already booked them, often at venues you'll recognise. Between them you'll have a clear picture of the wedding well before the day.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.

“Crawford and the guys were absolutely incredible at our wedding , every guest including us were blown away by Crawfords vocal skills and the bands set list for the night was fantastic! My wife and I are truly grateful for having this unbelievable band performing for our big day, can’t recommend them enough!! Like to also personally thank Del & Gaye at Hireaband during our band booking process and for being so great to work with to make our big day special. 11/10 for everything!!”

(5)

“The whole process - from enquiry to our wedding day - was a delight. We had initially booked our wedding band through Hireaband and were looking for a pianist for the ceremony. Gaye sent through a variety option and that is how we found Chris. Chris was amazing! When we talked through what we wanted for our ceremony, he was more than happy to make it happen, not questions asked. All of our guests were so complimentary of the variety of songs he played. Would highly recommend to anyone!”

(5)

“Steven was a fantastic addition to our wedding. We had so many compliments from our guest about how entertaining he was. He was engaging, friendly and kept everyone shocked and scratching their heads with how he did all his tricks. Would definitely recommend!”

(5)

“The Fairmont Trio were excellent on our wedding day. They were prompt and played perfectly throughout the ceremony and the drinks reception. All the guests loved them and we have had so many compliments about their performance. The band members were also super friendly and seemed to enjoy themselves as well.”
