Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the best professional singer in Brighton and Sussex?
I may be biased, but I’m Peter Stanford, a professional singer based in Brighton with over 30 years of experience. I perform regularly at weddings, corporate events, private parties and cabaret nights across Brighton, Sussex and London, offering reliable live vocals and a wide-ranging repertoire of classic songs and retro styles.
What type of singer are you?
I specialise in retro and vintage styles, including retro pop and classic chart hits, swing, Rat Pack, crooner hits and standards, West End and Broadway showstoppers, love songs and Christmas favourites. My focus is on timeless, well-known music that works perfectly for weddings, corporate events, parties and cabaret settings.
Do you tailor the music to different types of events?
Yes. Every booking is shaped around the occasion, the venue and the audience. Some events suit relaxed background vocals, while others call for a more engaging cabaret-style performance. I tailor my song list for each event, so it fits seamlessly into the flow of the day or evening.
What types of events do you perform at?
I perform at private parties, weddings, corporate events, cabaret nights, galas, balls and festive celebrations across Brighton, Sussex and London. I have sung at a wide variety of venues. Local favourites include The Grand Hotel Brighton, The Royal Pavilion and Brighton Hilton Metropole. In London, prestigious hotels I have performed at include The Ritz, The Savoy and The Dorchester. But, whatever the size of your function, I'm happy to discuss what I can add to your event.
How do I book a singer in Brighton, Sussex or London?
Booking is simple and flexible. Whether you need a party singer, wedding singer, corporate singer or cabaret singer, Peter Stanford is available to help you create a memorable event. Contact me via the enquiry form below, or directly by phone or email. I’ll confirm availability, discuss your plans and provide a clear no obligation quote. Whether your function is an intimate gathering in Brighton or a large-scale celebration in Sussex or London, I’d be delighted to hear from you.
Are you recommended for corporate events and private functions?
Yes. I’m regularly booked for corporate events and private parties across Sussex and London. I’ve performed at a wide range of venues, from well-known local favourites such as The Grand Hotel Brighton and The Royal Pavilion, to prestigious London hotels including The Ritz, The Savoy and Claridge's. Much of my work comes through recommendations and repeat clients.
How much does a professional singer cost?
Fees vary depending on the date and location. They also depend on the length of the performance, setup requirements and the type of event. Once I know the details, I’ll provide a transparent quote with no hidden costs.
I’ve had a cheaper quote elsewhere. Why choose you?
Experience matters, together with the quality of the sound equipment supplied. With over three decades of professional performance behind me, clients book me for reliability, consistency and peace of mind. A seasoned professional helps ensure your event runs smoothly and sounds exactly as planned. My high end Bose equipment ensures crystal clear sound every time.
How far in advance should I book?
It’s best to book as early as possible, particularly for weddings, summer dates and December events in Brighton, Sussex and London. Many clients book 12 to 18 months ahead, and my 2026 and 2027 diary is already open.
Can you work alongside a DJ?
Yes. Many clients choose to combine live singing with a DJ. Live vocals work especially well earlier in the day or evening, with a DJ taking over later, creating variety and balance across the event. I can supply some amazing DJ's who I have worked with over many years.
How experienced should a professional singer be?
Experience plays a big role in timing, song choice, volume control and reading the room. With over 30 years of professional performance experience, I’ve worked on West End shows, international concerts, high profile weddings, corporate events, prestigious parties and cabaret. I’ve also had the privilege of singing for royalty, celebrities and heads of state.
Do you perform internationally as well as locally?
Yes. While I’m based in Brighton and regularly work across Sussex and London, I’ve also performed internationally at luxury hotels, corporate events and private functions in destinations including Monte Carlo, Nice, Geneva and Jordan.
Can you perform during meals or drinks receptions?
Absolutely. Many bookings include relaxed background sets during drinks receptions, dinners or corporate hospitality events. This helps create a warm atmosphere without overpowering conversation.
What kind of music works best for mixed-age audiences?
Classic songs tend to work best across all age groups. Styles such as swing, crooner hits, retro pop and standards are familiar, welcoming and well suited to weddings, corporate events and private parties alike.
Do you perform Christmas songs for December events?
Yes. For December weddings, corporate events and parties, I have a large repertoire of non-religious Christmas classics which I perform throughout Brighton, Sussex and London. These can be presented as a dedicated festive set or blended with my other musical styles to add a fun seasonal feel.

Who knew that Christmas hits and swing would mix so well, but they did! In fact it was the ideal accompaniment to our delicious Christmas lunch. Thank for for creating the perfect mood. Feliz Navidad!

Thank you for singing at our wedding. You were so kind and thoughtful from the very first time we contacted you and your performance on the day was incredible. What a voice!

Our new Year's Eve ball was one of the best we've ever held, due in no small part to your amazing retro pop hits which had everyone on the dance floor. The energy in the room was electric. Can't thank you enough.
