Wedding Singers for Hire in London

We've processed 278 enquiries for singers in London and confirmed 27 bookings on the platform this year.

London has the deepest pool of wedding singers anywhere in the UK, with 23 locally-based acts available to hire through FixTheMusic.

Whether you need a solo singer-guitarist for your ceremony at The Berkeley, a singer-pianist for drinks at the Kimpton Fitzroy, or an acoustic duo for your reception at Carousel in Charlotte Street, you'll receive quotes directly from singers who know London venues inside out.

Our London-based wedding singers include Thomas Philip, who has nine confirmed bookings in the city and performs at venues like the Four Seasons Hotel London at Tower Bridge and China Tang at The Dorchester; Iddy Awan, one of the most-booked singers on the platform with 97 total bookings; and Steve Sings, who covers ceremony and drinks reception packages at venues including The Old Marylebone Town Hall.

Also based in London are Jack Sings, who regularly performs at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park and Kimpton Fitzroy; The Jewish Wedding Singer, who sings Hebrew ceremony music under the chuppah; and The Tonics, an acoustic duo with 88 total bookings and 18 reviews.

Couples typically hire a singer for the ceremony and drinks reception, then switch to a venue DJ or band for the evening party. This is the most common pattern we see across London enquiries. Singers charge less than full bands because there's one performer rather than four or five, and the equipment requirements are lighter.

All singers on FixTheMusic carry public liability insurance and PAT tested equipment.

Across the 278 singer enquiries we've received for London events, the most common request is ceremony and drinks reception coverage. Couples ask for live music as guests arrive, during the walk down the aisle, for the signing of the register, and then a 90-minute set during canapés and drinks.

Some singers offer separate ceremony and drinks reception packages if the logistics of moving equipment between spaces are tight, as one singer told a couple booking at a central London venue:

"It normally takes us one hour minimum to set up, and to move all the equipment from the ceremony to the next location will be a minimum of 30 minutes turnaround."

Singer-guitarists are the most popular format, with 22 of our 27 confirmed London bookings falling into this category. Singer-pianists like Jack Sings are another option, particularly for venues with a house piano. Acoustic duos like The Tonics add a second instrument (typically guitar and vocals with added percussion) for couples who want a fuller sound without the cost of a full band.

What London couples have paid

Based on 27 recent confirmed bookings with invoice data, here's what couples have actually paid:

The median price across all confirmed London singer bookings is £790. Most singer-guitarists quote between £750 and £1,000 including all audio equipment. Adding a second musician to form a duo typically brings the price to £1,200–£1,700.

Venues where our singers have performed

London singer bookings span hotels, restaurants, pubs and unique spaces. The venues that appear most frequently in our enquiry data include The Ivy Cafe Blackheath (four bookings), The Berkeley in Knightsbridge, the Kimpton Fitzroy on Russell Square, Carousel in Charlotte Street, The Langham Hotel on Portland Place, and The Ivy Tower Bridge.

Singers have also performed at Fitzrovia Chapel, the Garden Museum in Lambeth, Trinity Buoy Wharf and The Goring Hotel in Belgravia. In south west London, our singers have been booked for weddings at Chelsea Old Town Hall, the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park in Knightsbridge, and pubs along Lordship Lane in East Dulwich.

How far in advance to book

The median lead time for London singer bookings is 79 days, or just under three months. This is shorter than the typical lead time for wedding bands in London, which tend to be booked six to eight months ahead. Singers are often booked as an add-on once the main evening entertainment is sorted, or for couples planning a smaller, intimate wedding on a shorter timeline.

A note on PA systems

Several London venues don't have a PA system suitable for a live vocalist, as one couple discovered when booking a singer-pianist:

"We asked the venue about their PA system and they advised it's not suitable for a live vocalist, so we would have to add the PA system to the hire as well."

Most singers on FixTheMusic bring their own compact PA, but it's worth confirming this when you request quotes.
