Acoustic Musicians in Berkshire

Live acoustic music for weddings and events in Berkshire

An acoustic act brings live music to a space where a full band would be too much. Across Berkshire, that means a singer and guitar for the aisle, a duo on the terrace during the drinks reception, or a trio playing through the meal, with a sound that stays warm and relaxed.

Whether your wedding is near Reading, Windsor and Newbury or further afield, the acoustic acts here cover the whole of Berkshire. Local venues include Englefield House, Coworth Park and Ufton Court, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. You'll find more Berkshire venues below, including The Elephant Hotel, Dorney Court and The Great House at Sonning, each with its own page.

The appeal of an acoustic act is how easily it fits in. With guitars, vocals and sometimes a cajon or double bass, an acoustic line-up can play in a ceremony room, on a terrace or in a busy courtyard and still sound warm and relaxed.

Hireaband has booked wedding entertainment since 1999. Each acoustic act on this page travels to Berkshire as standard, and the instant quote button shows prices and availability for your date without waiting for a reply.

The essentials:

• Typical cost: £350 to £1,400, depending on how long they perform and the date
• Your quote shows exactly what's included
• Ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast packages available from many acts
• Most couples book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday
• Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Think about the size of the space and how many guests will be there. A single performer works well for up to around 80 guests in a ceremony room, while a duo or trio carries better outdoors or in a busy reception. Most acts bring a small, discreet PA so they can be heard without being loud.

Most acoustic act bookings fall between £350 and £1,400. A solo musician for a single set sits at the lower end; a duo or trio covering the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast sits towards the upper end. The date and time of year make up the rest of the difference, so a weekday or winter date can cost less than a summer Saturday.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the performer you would be booking, with videos, audio, a repertoire list and reviews. Between them you can get a clear sense of the act well before the day.
