Now booking weddings for 2026-27
The average amount couples spend on wedding music in the UK is £1,900, according to Bridebook’s 2025 UK Wedding Report.
That breaks down to:
💍 £821 for ceremony music
🥂 £1,102 for reception music
Let’s break it all down — prices, packages, what’s included, and how to get the best value for your wedding music.
Depending on how much of the day you’d like covered, here’s what a professional wedding singer typically charges:
Ceremony only - £300-£600
Two parts (ceremony + drinks) - £600-£1200
Full day - £1000-£1500
👉 My own packages start from £500, including professional equipment, your chosen songs, and a unique, heartfelt performance.
Whether you’re after a single emotional moment or a full-day live experience, I offer three simple wedding music packages:
Live music for one part of your day — such as your wedding ceremony, processional, or drinks reception.
Live music for two key moments — for example, your ceremony and first dance, or drinks reception and early evening.
Full-day coverage: ceremony, drinks reception, and first dance, plus a playlist for your wedding breakfast to keep the atmosphere flowing before your DJ or band takes over.
Acoustic songs as guests arrive
Your processional song, performed live as you walk down the aisle
Background music for the signing of the register
A joyful exit song as newlyweds
90 minutes of relaxed, feel-good live music as guests mingle and enjoy fizz
Background music (up to 90 minutes) that starts gentle and builds in energy
Your first dance, performed live
An acoustic upbeat set to warm up the dance floor before the DJ or wedding band
If you just need background music, there are cheaper options.
But most couples I work with want more than that.
They want:
🎸 A live-looping singer-guitarist creating songs on the spot — beats, bass, harmonies and all
💕 A singer who can learn and perform their special processional song
🔊 Top-tier sound gear, a professional setup, and full confidence it will all run smoothly
Here’s what typically influences the cost of hiring a wedding singer:
Experience & reviews — hiring someone with a track record brings peace of mind
Live looping and performance style (I create full-band sounds solo)
Travel and venue access/setup times
Special song requests and rehearsal time
Equipment quality — all mine is PAT-tested and professional-grade
Thank you Tom for what can only be described as an epic performance at our wedding! The ideal blend of that classic indie sound we love, with party mashups that kept us all guessing what was coming next. Incredible loop pedal skills and vocal harmonies were off the chart, we had trouble getting people inside for the wedding breakfast! Perfect addition to our day, loved it!
