The average price to hire for a wedding, private party or corporate event in the South East in 2024 was £706. Prices will vary depending on the length of performance you require, travel costs, and the reputation of the act. Expect to pay more for an established singer or group at the top of their game, with prices going up to £2,486 for the most experienced musicians. If you’re working to a tight budget, please let us know and we’ll provide you with a selection of quotes for the most affordable options. We have local musicians available from as little as £264.
Most weddings and private parties take place on Saturdays between the the beginning of May and the end of September, and for these dates we recommend booking your live music 12 months in advance. Most corporate events tend to take place mid-week when availability is generally less of a challenge, and for these we recommend securing your musicians approximately 6 months in advance, with the exception of events happening over the busy Christmas / NYE period, which should also be booked 12 months in advance.
You’re looking at them! The South East Entertainment Company seeks out the best local singers and musicians so you don’t need to take a risk on an unknown act. We’re not a directory. Every artist has been personally selected by our entertainment experts who have over 200 years combined experience in the industry, and who are uniquely qualified to understand whether an artist offers a high quality service. We also follow up every booking to ensure our musicians are living up to expectations, and we remove any artists who we lose confidence in. You can have total confidence that if you hire an act through us, you’ll be getting the best local musicians in your area, and that every aspect of their service will exceed your expectations.
You’ll get a secure booking contract which ensures the commitment of your musicians, and which covers you against a multitude of eventualities. Your contract sets out what’s been agreed between you and the artist, such as the event date, event address, performance times, specific performance requirements, the agreed fees and the payment terms - amongst other things. The artist can’t be substituted for another without your approval, and should something unforeseen happen, you’ll be covered by out-of-hours emergency support.
