Acoustic Musicians in Cambridgeshire

Live acoustic music for weddings and events in Cambridgeshire

If you want live music for your wedding without the volume of a full band, an acoustic act is the natural choice. In Cambridgeshire, acoustic musicians play ceremonies, drinks receptions and dinners, giving the day a relaxed, personal soundtrack.

Popular wedding venues in Cambridgeshire include Childerley Barn, Bassmead Manor Barns and Longstowe Hall, and our acoustic acts travel to weddings and events across Cambridge, Peterborough and Ely. 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 The Guildhall, Trinity Hall and Chippenham Park, with details of each.

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.

We've been booking wedding entertainment since 1999, and every acoustic act on this page covers Cambridgeshire. You can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

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.

Expect to pay from around £350 up to £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. Busy Saturdays in summer and December sit at the top of the range, and your quote shows exactly what's included.

Every act's page has video and audio of the performer you would actually book, along with their repertoire and written reviews from couples who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the sound before you commit.

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.

“Absolutely fantastic performances and sets, everyone totally loved the vibe and the amazing performers- everyone was asking who they were and how I found them. When it rained they came off the stage and performed inside the marquee creating a really intimate magical moment, and graciously did a couple of requests for us all to join in on - couldn't have asked for more or better, simply brilliant! 11/10 thanks so much”

“WOW! What an amazing team these guys are. Absolutely exceeded expectations, they had everyone dancing from the 1st song to the last, so chilled out, they had our guests joining in with them, they are so adaptable and read the crowd perfectly. The song snippets on their profile really don't do them justice, I would definitely book them again. Thank you so much for making an amazing day even better!”

“Jessie was amazing from the minute we first spoke to him, so chilled and made everything stress free which is exactly what we wanted. He has the most incredible voice and his performance of our first dance was honestly unreal, we actually preferred it to the original! Even with only 30 guests at the wedding party, he still managed to fill the dance floor with the DJ set later on. We cannot thank him enough.”

(5)

“Thank you so much for your contribution to Caroline and Gustavo's wedding on Saturday. Your playing was absolutely fabulous and gave the Spanish Theme a wonderful lift. It was absolutely lovely and so many people commented on how beautifully you played and how great the tunes were. Everyone appreciated your contribution to the day and it made such a difference. Many many thanks.”

“Declan was a breath of fresh air- not only was he professional but put us both at ease knowing that the music was in the best hands. We received loads of compliments about the ceremony and drinks reception music Declan played. He chatted away to some of our guests before he headed off which was lovely. Would recommend Declan 100% to anyone and only wish we had another event to book him for!”

(5)

“Tommy & Sons were absolutely fabulous. We loved their sets, and so did all our guests. They were genuinely lovely people, and some of our guests were able to get up and sing with them. This was brilliant! Couldn't be happier with our choice to hire Tommy & Sons; comms between hireaband, and the band were excellent and we hope to use them again in the future. Thank you!”
