Acoustic Musicians in York
Book acoustic musicians in York
An acoustic act brings live music to a space where a full band would be too much. Across York, 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.
York has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Bedern Hall and The Hospitium to Barmby Field Barns. Our acoustic acts travel to towns across the area, including York, Selby and Tadcaster, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Further down this page are more local venues, such as The Grand, York, Villa Farm and Merchant Adventurers' Hall, with details of each.
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.

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.
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.
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.
