"What a brilliant evening! A huge thank you to ABBA ATTACK for bringing such an awesome evening of music to Osberton International Horse Trials 2024. From start to finish, the group were exceptionally professional to work with. They arrived with plenty of time to spare, set up their own kit and performed banger after banger live for our audience. Totally self sufficient and easy to work with. The level of showmanship/musical talent on display was also absolutely top drawer. Our audience absolutely loved the evening and we will 100% refer/book again. Thank you again and wishing you a brilliant end to 2024."

FAQs about hiring Wedding Entertainers in Dumfries And Galloway

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

What entertainment should I have at a wedding?

What entertainment you’d like for your wedding depends on your tastes as a couple, budget and overall vision for your big day. However, at Encore Musicians, we help thousands of couples every year in the UK plan entertainment for their wedding day therefore we are experts in choosing the right musicians for your big day. For ceremonies, it’s ideal to have musicians who can provide atmospheric background music, such as string quartets, harpists and singing guitarists. For the cocktail hour (or drinks reception), musicians such as jazz bands, acoustic duos or saxophonists, can provide a more upbeat ambience whilst still allowing for conversation amongst guests. Last but not least, for the evening party, you want musicians who can keep the dance floor full. Our Wedding and Party Bands give engaging, lively performances, or you can opt for a Wedding DJ who can create seamless playlists perfect for guests of all ages and tastes. For something a little bit different, consider Ceilidh Bands, a more unique, interactive form of entertainment or Soul and Motown bands, a timeless and classy option for couples who want something a bit more unique. Additionally, for a surprise element to wow your guests, consider singing waiters for unexpected wedding entertainment where the singers dress as waiters and then burst into song.
