Acoustic Musicians in Bristol
Live acoustic music for weddings and events in Bristol
Acoustic music suits the parts of a wedding or party where people want to talk as well as listen. In Bristol, acoustic musicians are booked for ceremonies, drinks receptions, garden parties and wedding breakfasts, playing familiar songs in a stripped-back style that fills a room without taking it over.
Popular wedding venues in Bristol include Goldney Hall, Nailsea Tithe Barn and Old Down Manor, and our acoustic acts travel to weddings and events across Bristol, Clifton and Portishead. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Manor Farm, Leigh Court and Clevedon Hall, with details of each.
Acoustic acts range from solo singer-guitarists to duos and small trios with harmonies. Repertoire usually runs from classic love songs and folk to acoustic versions of recent chart hits, so the music feels familiar without being loud.

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.
Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the wedding. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.
