Wedding Entertainment in Cornwall

Wedding entertainment in Cornwall

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

Whether your wedding is near Truro, Padstow and Falmouth or elsewhere in Cornwall, the acts listed here cover the whole area. Local venues include Polhawn Fort, Eden Project and Tredudwell Manor. Ask your venue early about its finish time and any sound limiter, as both affect which acts suit it.

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 Cornwall as standard, and PA, lighting (where relevant) and travel costs are always included in the quote you receive.

What to know:

  • Budget from £300 for a ceremony musician and £1,200 to £4,000+ for a band
  • Every quote includes travel and any PA or lighting the act needs
  • Many acts will learn a first dance or special song
  • Solo acts and duos can often be booked at shorter notice
  • Every booking is covered by 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.

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.

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

“We just wanted to drop a quick email to say a massive thank you to you all for making our wedding day so special. It was absolutely perfect for us, and we received so many compliments from our guests on everything. We will share photos of the day in due course with you all, but in the meantime, please accept our heartfelt thanks for everything you have worked so hard on. Love from Mr and Mrs Coutts ❤”

“The Shakers were phenomenal! They had great energy all night and curated the best setlist for our mostly American audience. We were able to pick a short list of songs we especially wanted to hear, and a short list of do-not-play, which made us feel like we had the right amount of input to the big day. We had countless guests shaking their hands and applauding them by the end of the night - the whole group was so talented, we especially loved the saxophone solo in the middle of the dancefloor!”

“The website was easy to navigate with follow up contact from first view til the event. The band were absolutely fabulous! There were people from age seven to into their seventies and they all commented on a great band and a real mix of music to keep everyone on their feet. It was banging! I'd highly recommend them and have already started letting people know where to find them. Thanks so much for making our anniversary party so memorable..”

“The Hartbeats played at our wedding in the evening. They set up quickly and without fuss. They confessed later on that they'd never heard the song we requested for our first dance (by a band called Blind Pilot), however, they played it perfectly and we couldn't have been happier with it! Guests were dancing and singing all night long to the band, and then to the DJ set afterwards. They played a big part in entertaining our guests in the evening, and we would recommend.”

“Declan was amazing! Reached out before the wedding and discussed the songs and everything was perfect during the ceremony and danced at the drinks reception. Can't thank him enough for making our day go so effortlessly well!”

“Brightside were amazing! Great communication from beginning to week of our wedding! They arrived before our agreed time and they worked with our catering company in where to set up etc. We asked for live music and DJ in between sets and they did amazing! We have had so many compliments and how good the band were and also passed on the information for recommendations! So glad we picked these guys! Thank you!!!”
