Best entertainers in Glen Huon
A wedding band lives in Glen Huon, which for a valley village of this size is a genuine piece of luck. Second on the list is a singer-songwriter at Huonville, ten minutes down the river, and then the page falls off a cliff: New Norfolk over the hills, a clown at Middleton, and Hobart's DJs, fire act, jazz band, magician and MC a fair run up the Huon Highway. Do not let the tidy order of the cards fool you into thinking that is one neighbourhood.
Two acts close and eight acts far is an unusual shape, and it changes the order you do things in. Book the local band first if you want it, because it is the only one that costs you nothing in road and nothing in a late finish. Everything else on the page is a Hobart booking with the Vince's Saddle climb in it, and the acts will tell you so once they know where they are going.

Questions people ask about entertainers in Glen Huon
Is there a wedding band in the Huon Valley?
There is one based at Glen Huon itself, which is the first card on this page and the only band anywhere near the valley. Everything else that plays a reception here comes up from Hobart with the highway in the price. If your date is a summer or autumn Saturday, that one local band is worth asking about early rather than late.
Will Hobart acts play a Glen Huon wedding?
They will, and the drive is a normal one for them, but it is the finish time that decides how they price it. A midnight end means the road back over the hills in the dark, and some acts would rather play an earlier last set than bill you for the extra. Give the exact property and the end time in the first message and you will get a straight answer.
What sort of act suits a ceremony in an apple orchard?
Something small enough to run on a battery and set up on uneven ground, which in practice means a soloist or a duo rather than a full band. The songwriter at Huonville is ten minutes away and that is exactly the job. Keep the band for the shed afterwards, where there is power and a floor to stand on.
Booking tips
Orchard weddings need the power sorted
A ceremony among the apple trees is usually a long way from any socket, and a shed reception may be on one circuit that already runs the lights and the urn. Ask the band what they draw and whether they carry battery gear for the vows.
It gets cold early in the valley
The hills hold the shade and the temperature drops the moment the sun goes behind them, which is earlier here than the forecast for Hobart suggests. Somewhere warm for the players between sets is not a luxury, it is how you keep instruments in tune.
Name the road, not just the village
Glen Huon spreads a long way up the valley and a few of the turnoffs are gravel. Put the property name and the road in the enquiry so nobody arrives with a trailer at a track they cannot get down in the dark.
