Acoustic Musicians in Northumberland

Live acoustic music for weddings and events in Northumberland

An acoustic act brings live music to a space where a full band would be too much. Across Northumberland, that means a singer and guitar for the aisle, a duo on the terrace during the drinks reception, or a trio playing through the meal, with a sound that stays warm and relaxed.

Northumberland has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Hallington Mill and Healey Barn to Slaley Hall Hotel. Our acoustic acts travel to towns across the area, including Alnwick, Morpeth and Berwick-upon-Tweed, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Other venues in the area include Newton Hall, The Barn on the Bay and Langley Castle, and each has its own venue page further down.

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.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched couples with live entertainment for their wedding day. The acoustic acts listed here all travel to Northumberland, and the instant quote button shows pricing and availability in a few seconds.

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.

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.

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.
