Whether you’re looking for beautiful music for your ceremony or a great band or DJ for your evening reception, selecting the right professionals who can create the perfect atmosphere is a BIG job on the to-do list. Today, I’m here to make that task a whole lot easier because I have the pleasure of introducing you to Last Minute Musicians, the UK’s leading live entertainment portal.
So, what’s great about Last Minute Muscians? Well, it was founded in 2003 by Adam Hughes and Chris Walmsley, two freelance musicians who’d met whilst studying at the super prestigious Trinity College of Music in London. Now, Last Minute Musicians is the UK’s largest entertainment directory – they’ve had over 50,000 enquiries in the last 12 months alone so the team of ten is definitely kept busy.
When you visit Last Minute Musicians, you can browse profiles, read reviews, listen to audio, watch videos and choose from an ever-growing selection of the best musicians, bands, DJs, entertainers. It’s like online dating for your wedding but with Last Minute Musicians, you just know it’s going to be a perfect match!
“At Last Minute Musicians, we’re passionate about helping to match up our site visitors with the entertainment they love,” says Adam. “Having live music is so, so much more than background entertainment – it’s having a swing singer add that touch of class to your drinks reception that keeps everyone talking for months. It’s having the timeless romance of a harpist to serenading you as you walk down the isle. It’s having the band play your favourite song for your first dance with your new husband or wife. We understand it’s not just music; it’s memories that will last you a lifetime.”
As you’d expect, Last Minute Musicians is totally committed to making everything as easy as possible for you. They provide an incredibly high standard of service to you and to the musicians that they work with so everyone is happy and relaxed which just has to be a good thing.

“Our USP is definitely the diversity of the acts we can supply,” explains Chris. “Within our directory, there are literally thousands of bands, solo singers, DJs and associated companies that cover everything from 1930s vintage jazz to modern Indie rock. No matter what your taste, no matter where you are in the country and no matter how unique the theme, the Last Minute Musicians directory is sure to contain the perfect act for the occasion.”
