Wedding Entertainment in Oxfordshire

Wedding entertainment in Oxfordshire

This page brings together every kind of wedding act, from live bands and DJs to singers, string quartets and magicians. Couples in Oxfordshire use it to plan the whole day, starting with the ceremony and finishing with the last dance.

Popular wedding venues in Oxfordshire include The Tythe Barn, Blenheim Palace and Caswell House, and our acts play weddings across Abingdon, Oxford and Banbury. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we can usually say what has worked there before.

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 Oxfordshire. 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

Room size and the moment in the day both matter. A solo singer or acoustic duo suits a ceremony or drinks reception without overwhelming the space, while a larger band is the right call for filling a dance floor in a ballroom or marquee later in the evening.

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.

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.

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.

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 Oxfordshire 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!”
