Wedding Entertainment in Birmingham

Find your wedding entertainment in Birmingham

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 Birmingham are covered on this page, in one place.

Across Birmingham, our wedding acts play country houses, barns, hotels and marquees in and around the city centre, Sutton Coldfield and Solihull. Venues in the area include The Grand Hotel Birmingham, The Bond and Birmingham Botanical Gardens, each with its own space and finish time, which we'll check with the act for you.

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.

Hireaband has been booking live wedding entertainment since 1999. Every act listed here travels to Birmingham as standard, and PA, lighting (where relevant) and travel costs are always included in the quote you receive.

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
  • Mix formats across the day, from ceremony music to an evening band
  • Summer Saturdays book up 12 to 18 months ahead
  • A 14-day change-of-mind refund comes with every booking

Some venues have sound limiters, early finishes or restrictions on where acts can set up. Check these early, as they can decide whether a full band, a smaller line-up or a DJ is the better fit.

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.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

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 Birmingham 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.

“Eccentric Pony were absolutely incredible! I don’t think we could have found a better band to play at our wedding reception. They transformed the evening into a night to remember. All of our guests have been telling us how amazing the band was and how much they enjoyed them. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a high energy, professional band. All I can say is a huge thankyou to Jimmy and the rest of the band members for making our wedding reception perfect!”

“The band, The Nicholas McDonald band, played at my daughter's wedding and I must say we were all very impressed. The music was fantastic and the volume was just right too which was very important to me as we had some older guests who normally don't enjoy live music. Nicholas as so nice to everyone and the band were real gentlemen. They sounded great and really added to Claire and Phillip's big day.”

(5)

“We had a fantastic night and everyone, and I mean everyone, was raving about Crawford and the boys! I am sure you will have seen his rendition of "Caruso" (in memory of my late husband) ....just something else!! ...as I said on my fb post, I believe there is NO other band on the circuit who could have been presented with a famous Italian song a few weeks before the wedding, learn it, deliver it and move all the Italians to tears and everyone else there.. Outstanding !!”

(5)

“Andy played during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception and he was absolutely incredible. Walking down the aisle to Andy playing a soft version of my favourite song is something il never forget and it was absolutely no bother for him to learn the song for us. During the drinks reception he played such a wide range of different songs and his voice is just amazing! Such a talent and really made our wedding extra special. Thanks so much Andy, we could listen to you play all day!”

(5)

“Karl and the band were excellent. I was apprehensive about having a Céilidh for the wedding as a number of our guests had never done one before but Karl was really good at explaining the moves and the guests absolutely loved it. It was a real feature of our wedding that everyone will remember for years to come. Thank you Hickory Smoke, I would recommend you to anyone.”

(5)

“The band were incredible for our wedding reception, they were able to read the room well and the dance floor always had someone on it throwing their moves. Thank you so much for making our day that little bit more special.”
