Acoustic Musicians in Cumbria
Live acoustic music for weddings and events in Cumbria
If you want live music for your wedding without the volume of a full band, an acoustic act is the natural choice. In Cumbria, acoustic musicians play ceremonies, drinks receptions and dinners, giving the day a relaxed, personal soundtrack.
Whether your wedding is near Carlisle, Kendal and Windermere or further afield, the acoustic acts here cover the whole of Cumbria. Local venues include Broadoaks Country House, Loweswater Village Hall and Storrs Hall, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Eden Barn, Holker Hall and Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa are among the other Cumbria venues listed further down, each with its own page.
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.

A solo singer-guitarist suits a ceremony or a small drinks reception. A duo adds harmonies and a fuller sound for a larger courtyard or dining room. A trio, often with cajon or bass, gives more energy for a garden party or a drinks reception with a lot of guests.
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.
Each act's page carries real video and audio, a repertoire list and reviews from previous clients. Watching a couple of clips tells you far more than any description can, so it's worth listening before you choose.
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.
