10 Memorable Musicians & Entertainers

Treat your guests to show-stopping entertainment, from a soulful gospel choir at your ceremony to an 8-piece band to dance to all night long.

 

The wedding speeches are complete, the reception feast has been shared and the cake has been cut... now it’s time to hit the dance floor for a night you’ll always remember! There’s no better feeling than dancing the night away with your loved ones to incredible music and entertainment.

What many brides and grooms might not realise, is the sheer range of musical talent and party specialists out there, from classical pianists and 12-piece bands to mystical magicians and colourful glitter stations. The key is to bring in entertainment that means a lot to you and reflects you personally as a couple. For example, hiring a traditional bagpiper to mark the end of your ceremony could be very fitting if you have Scottish heritage!

If your budget allows and you would like to mark the order of the day, some couples like to have different musicians playing at different times throughout their wedding celebration. For instance, a gospel choir could serenade you down the aisle, an acoustic guitarist could be the backdrop to your drinks reception and a DJ could transform your night into the ultimate disco! Some bands also have special prices if you book them for the whole day, so it’s worth exploring their offers.

At Weddings & Honeymoons Magazine, we have spoken to some of the leading musicians and entertainers across the country and have listed our top ten recommended suppliers to help you with your search. Whether you’re looking for a string quartet or a swinging jazz band, we’ve got you covered.
