About

Hello! I’m Ollie Stephens, an acoustic wedding singer and guitarist from Devon. I specialise in performing at

  • Church Ceremonies
  • Civil Ceremonies
  • Drinks Receptions
  • Evening Receptions

My role during the ceremony is to perform: as your guests are arriving, half an hour before ceremony and one song as bride enters the ceremony. I will keep the song as long as is necessary. 2-3 songs during the signing of the register and your exit song as a married couple, usually an upbeat number. I feel that it is important that you choose the songs for your ceremony.

My role during the afternoon drinks reception is to perform while canapés and photographs take place, until you are called in to be seated for the wedding breakfast.

I’ll select songs that are appropriate to the mood and age range of your guests.

Or I will happily play from a list of songs or artists you choose before the day.

Ollie Stephens - The Devon Wedding Singer is a live musician and singer from Teignmouth, Devon.

What can we say! Ollie was as professional in person as he was in the run up to our event. The communication throughout the booking was fantastic and nothing was too much - even asking for him to perform a recently released song to keep the children happy was not an issue at all.

If we were to have our day again, we certainly wouldn’t book a venue until we knew Ollie was available, a complete non-negotiable.

Our friends still comment on how amazing Ollie was and how astounded they were at his ability to perform every song that was thrown at him, via requests.

When it came to choosing what Ollie sang, we had an extensive list of songs to choose from; Ollie would have been there the whole weekend if we had chosen all our favourites.

Ollie was performing for the afternoon of our wedding reception. As we couldn’t make our minds up, we decided to ask for a handful of songs that we liked, but then asked Ollie to play what he felt was right for our crowd; we wanted a party atmosphere and boy did he deliver.

Ollie is extremely personable and amazing with people of all ages. Our son enjoys playing the guitar and Ollie was more than happy spending time with him to talk about music and guitars.

We would like to say thank you Ollie, you certainly made our day. Keep doing what you are doing, you were truly fantastic.
