What Impacts the Cost of a Wedding Singer?
1. Performance Time & Setup
Whether you're booking a 30-minute ceremony or a full evening performance, duration will affect pricing. Some weddings also require early setups or late finishes — in which case, you should expect a nominal additional charge of £75 per hour.
2. Travel Costs
Travel is calculated per mile. If your venue is outside the local area, £0.45 per mile is added to the final quote. We believe in full transparency — no hidden fees.
3. Type of Act
Solo performers tend to be more affordable but can still deliver powerful, emotive performances.
Duo Acoustic acts bring a richer sound with live guitar or piano accompaniment.
Duo Electric adds more depth and volume, perfect for evening receptions and dancing.
4. Add-On Services
Want to make the moment truly yours? Add a Personalized Song Performance for just £50 — perfect for first dances or walking down the aisle to your song.
