Acoustic Musicians in Leeds & West Yorkshire

Book acoustic musicians in Leeds & West Yorkshire

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

Whether your wedding is near Leeds and Wakefield or further afield, the acoustic acts here cover the whole of Leeds & West Yorkshire. Local venues include The Mansion, Roundhay, Waterton Park Hotel and Lineham Farm, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Hollins Hall, Mirfield Monastery and Bowcliffe 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.

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

The essentials:

  • Budget from around £350 to £1,400, depending on the act and the date
  • Book for the ceremony only, or for the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast
  • Popular dates go months in advance
  • Everything included is listed in your quote
  • Change your mind within 14 days and get a full 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.

Prices usually start from around £350 and go up to £1,400 or so. 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. Your quote shows the full price for your date, so you can compare acts on the same basis.

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.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.

“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!”

“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!”

“We thought Ian Was amazing! All our guests said how brilliant his voice was and how much they enjoyed his take on classic songs. He was very easy to contact when we were planning everything and even agreed to sing a few songs in memory of my late Mum and Dad. We booked him immediately after hearing him on an agency web site! Thanks for being a part of our special day Ian.”

“I hope you got back ok on Saturday night. We just wanted to thank you for making our wedding evening so perfect. The music was amazing and everyone really enjoyed it. Slightly biased, but I have never been to a wedding when the dance floor has been so full for so much of the night! Looking forward to seeing the photos. Thanks again”

“Hi De La Duo, THANK YOU!!! The day feels like a bit of a blur if I'm honest but one of my clearest memories was walking down the aisle (rather quickly oops) and hearing you playing. It was beautiful. John and I have received so many compliments about you guys. you truly were a highlight of the day! All the best, Charlotte and John x”
