Acoustic Musicians in Liverpool

Live acoustic music for weddings and events in Liverpool

Acoustic music suits the parts of a wedding or party where people want to talk as well as listen. In Liverpool, 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.

Across Liverpool, acoustic acts are booked for weddings and events in and around Liverpool, Southport and St Helens. Venues in the area include Titanic Hotel Liverpool, Liverpool Cathedral and Ullet Road Unitarian Church, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. Blackstock Market, Royal Live Suite in the Liver Building and Love Lane Brewery are among the other Liverpool venues listed further down, each with its own page.

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.

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

The essentials:

  • Prices usually from £350 up to £1,400
  • Many acts can cover more than one part of the day in a single booking
  • Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to enquire early
  • The quote you receive sets out exactly what's included
  • 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking

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.

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.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the day. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.

“Exceptionally talented pair. Had the pleasure of listening to them on the P&O Britannia and they helped us have a fantastic time, we were truly entertained. The vocals are beautifully on point and create a perfect atmosphere. Best of all is their choice of repertoire, so much variety and perfect to relax to; I even found myself singing along on several occasions! Thanks for some great music.”

“Absolutely fantastic, very professional. A beautiful voice which was even better than the video. We booked them for 1 hr and to sing our first dance song. It is a memory that I will never forget. All the guests really enjoyed the music as they sang songs from all genres and did it extremely well. Very talented. We are very pleased that we booked them and could not have asked for more.”

“Really great to meet you and the band last night, thanks so much for an awesome performance! Everyone absolutely loved it, as you could probably tell by the dancing on tables and repeated calls for an encore :) You hit the nail on the head in terms of the brief and the kind of performance we were after and you totally brought your A-game!”

“Hi. We would like to record our appreciation to Declan Daniel for the music he played at our wedding reception last Saturday. Many of the guests commented on the quality of his playing and there is no doubt that Declan's music added a very special ingredient to our special day. Please pass on our thanks and best wishes for his musical career. Many thanks also for a very efficient service. Best wishes”

“I’d recommend Ian without hesitation. Not only is he a huge talent with a fine repertoire, he is a genuinely good guy who was friendly and communicative during the build-up to my wedding. On the day itself he went above and beyond what I’d expect from a performer by allowing my son (a beginner on guitar) to play along to one of his songs. Ian is a top talent and a top man.”

(5)

“I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for the amazing performance the band did on Saturday. Honestly, it was one of the highlights of the day and we were absolutely delighted. We couldn’t have asked for a better band - you guys were fantastic. Please let me know if you ever need a reference because we would love to recommend you guys”
