Acoustic Musicians in Suffolk

Book acoustic musicians in Suffolk

An acoustic act brings live music to a space where a full band would be too much. Across Suffolk, 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.

Popular wedding venues in Suffolk include Haughley Park Barn, Lanwades Hall and Hengrave Hall, and our acoustic acts travel to weddings and events across Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Lowestoft. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. You'll find more Suffolk venues below, including Snape Maltings, Copdock Hall and Bruisyard Hall, each with its own page.

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.

We've been booking wedding entertainment since 1999, and every acoustic act on this page covers Suffolk. You can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

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.

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.

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.

“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”

“Before the event Dave did everything possible to work with us and make sure that it all went without a hitch, which was much appreciated. He and the rest of his group were friendly and professional throughout, and our guests loved seeing the joy they so clearly get from what they do. We hadn’t tried jazz at our hotel before, but it went down really well and we received lots of great feedback.”
