Acoustic Musicians on the Isle of Wight
Live acoustic music for weddings and events on the Isle of Wight
Acoustic music suits the parts of a wedding or party where people want to talk as well as listen. On the Isle of Wight, 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.
Whether your wedding is near Newport, Ryde and Cowes or further afield, the acoustic acts here cover the whole of the Isle of Wight. Local venues include Cowes Yacht Haven, East Afton Farmhouse and Shepards Wharf Marina – The Sugar Store, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Other venues in the area include Royal Ocean Racing Club, Northwood House and Barton Manor, and each has its own venue page further down.
Most acoustic musicians play a mix of songs guests will recognise, reworked in a softer style. That makes them a good fit for the parts of the day where the music should add atmosphere rather than take centre stage.

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.
