wedding singer

Ceremony music performer

A wedding singer is a vocalist hired to perform at wedding receptions, typically singing popular love songs and dance music.

The role has become associated with a particular kind of professional entertainer—competent but perhaps not destined for stardom, working the banquet circuit: He's been a wedding singer for fifteen years.

The term sometimes carries a faintly dismissive connotation, suggesting someone whose musical ambitions have settled into comfortable routine.
