Reviews from local events in Italy
“We could not have been more impressed with our musicians!! We had the Italian folk trio come to our welcome party, and they were the absolute cherry on top! They were amazing musicians, entertainers, and kicked off our wedding perfectly. I would highly recommend to everyone!!”

“We had Forever Young play during our wedding at Villa Arcadio in Salo, Garda in September 2026. As we are located in Sweden, researching Italian bands turned out to be quite tricky and it was difficult to find a band that felt right. But with Carol and Alex, we found it! Our main contact was Carol, and throughout the process, she was always positive with a great “can do” attitude as was open to any suggestions from us. From the cake cutting to the late party, Forever Young helped make our dream wedding come true and we can’t be anything but happy and grateful for all the great songs played! All our guests were super impressed, and complimented us for choosing just the right band for the venue! My only regret is that I did not get to listen to and see all the songs! :) We would hire them again anytime! Professional, kind, and fun to be around!”

“The Italian Riviera Swing Band played our wedding in Umbria in September, from the ceremony through to the end of dinner. Celeste’s voice is something else. We’d sent her a list of songs that mattered to us, including a few she had to learn from scratch, and she sang every single one of them beautifully. Half our guests were in tears during the ceremony. Later, when we walked in for dinner, the whole room was singing along. Their repertoire is huge and the timing was perfect throughout. They knew exactly when to fill the room and when to sit back so people could talk. Our guests kept coming up to us about them all evening. Planning with Celeste beforehand was easy from the very first email. She replied quickly, thought of things we hadn’t, sent us a clear plan well in advance, and even asked about our colours so the band would fit in with the rest of the day. On the day everything ran exactly as discussed. The best band we could have wished for, and lovely people on top of it. Thank you!”

“Dusk Roamers is a really really good band and they make a big party and good atmosphere! They played at our wedding and it was really amazing! Andrea was very kind and helpful. The communication was smooth. They made our wedding very special. Thank you very much!!”

“DJ Gius was an amazing addition to our wedding. We had him for the day of our wedding and the day after for our pool party. He such professional always having a plan a and a Plan B just in case of rain which I thought was great! When we discussed music choices, he was really thorough about it! Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night and had a great time. He’s worked with our violinist so I was at ease knowing that she and him knew each other when coordinating the setup of the music. Thank you so much for being part of our special days you were incredible!!”
“The Turnpikes were absolutely exceptional at our Wedding Welcome Dinner in Asciano. William and the band brought amazing vibes to the event. The music they played absolutely made the night what it was. They had all of our guests dancing by the end of the evening. Not only were they excellent musicians, but they were also wonderful people! If you're thinking about booking The Turnpikes for an event, do not hesitate!”
“Blue Note Four played at our welcome pizza party the night before our wedding in Umbria, and they completely made the evening. They were exactly right for us. Modern, warm, genuinely lovely people, and the kind of band that lifts a room without ever taking it over. Guests who’d just arrived after long flights were suddenly standing around the band with a drink in hand, grinning. It set the tone for the entire weekend, and people were still talking about them days later. Planning with them was just as good. Clear answers, no back and forth, nothing we had to chase. On the night they arrived early and were completely set up long before the first guests turned up, which took a lot of stress off us. If you want a band that makes the whole night feel effortless and special, book them. We’re so glad we did. Thank you!”
“I'm a musician who did a destination wedding. Music is important to both me and my husband. I found it quite daunting to find and book a band. We spend a lot, truly a lot, of time looking for good options. We immediately liked The Suits Jazz Band when we saw them online. Since we got in touch communication has been wonderful and quick. Most importantly of course, at our outdoor rehearsal dinner they sounded great, looked great and were just all round lovely guys! It elevated the vibe of the evening to a whole next level. We didn't plan on dancing after dinner at all, but our family and friends couldn't be stopped. They made all the technical aspects so easy for us. They just took care of everything. 10/10 would recommend. Very professional, quality skilled musicians, wonderful people!”

“Tuscany folk band was absolutely fantastic! They were so much fun and the guests loved them. They even took song recommendations on the spot from multiple guests. You won’t regret booking them. Thank you so much 🤍”

“Thank you Puppets for being everything and more on our big day! You were absolutely incredible. Our guests were completely blown away by the band's talent, and we felt so lucky to have you at our wedding. The setlist was flawless, the party vibes were immaculate, and the band's attire was stunning. The addition of the saxophonist was also spectacular and took the experience to another level. Everything was PERFECT! Do not hesitate to book this band. They are the real deal and will make your event unforgettable. Thank you so much 🤍 Lots of love, Chelsea & Jonny from Castello di Celsa in June 2026”

“The quartet was absolutely beautiful. Their timings were perfect (multiple entrances and large venue outside) and were very talented. They also have such an extensive song list which is rare. Best decision having them. You won’t regret booking them. Thank you so much 🤍”
Booked The Florence String Quartet for a wedding at Castello di Celsa, Siena, Italy
“Italian Sax & DJ were brilliant at our event, as was the violinist that accompanied them for the ceremony! Over messages they were responsive and happy to share all the information we needed. On the day they played a fantastic mix of songs throughout the evening, making sure to play from our list of songs at points in the dinner and the party. One of the best parts was how adaptive they were to playing live - they were able to play great backing music to our game during the dinner and quickly caught on if the guests were singing a particular song. During the party they interacted so well with the guests while out playing the saxophone and were happy to take live requests. They were even kind enough to extend their set a little longer than planned. Overall they really went above and beyond our expectations! Wouldn’t hesitate to book them again”

Here's a List of Some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Hiring an Acoustic for Weddings and Events...
What exactly is an acoustic duo?
It’s a duo of musicians with one or both members singing, with one or both playing on acoustic guitar. This, of course, is not a strict definition though. One member of the duo can instead perform on keyboard or even a reduced drum kit (snare and hi-hat) or any other acoustic instrument for that matter.
What are the advantages of hiring an acoustic duo for your wedding or event?
As they are just two musicians, the cost for hiring an acoustic duo is usually significantly less than hiring a full band. They require less time to set up and pack down at the end of the night and can perform in a smaller stage area, often less than 2m x 2m.
For what occasions are acoustic duos suitable?
Just about any occasion where live music is required, but they are particularly suitable for wedding receptions with fewer guests in smaller, more intimate wedding venues. They are suitable at venues with difficult access where it would be problematic to bring all of the equipment required for a full wedding band.
They are ideal as background music for more low-key events like a drinks reception, small corporate events or even Christmas parties.
Acoustic duos are also ideal for wedding venues with strict sound limiters in place. Most wedding venues in the UK now have sound limiters fitted – they can cause the power supply to the band to be cut off if a certain pre-determined decibel limit is exceeded. It’s best to check with your venue if they have a sound limiter installed, and at what level it is set, e.g. 95 decibels (dB), 90dB or sometimes as low as 85dB.
Hiring an acoustic duo thus means you don’t have to worry about sound limiter issues as the sound produced by the duo is always far below the limiter’s level.
Acoustic duos are also suitable for international events where you require the duo to travel to your event to perform. For example, many UK based acoustic duos on FixTheMusic perform at weddings in France, Italy and Spain.
With just two members, there is less equipment to transport and fewer expenses to pay for – clients are paying for flights and accommodation for only two musicians, rather than four or five. Hence, hiring an acoustic duo for destination weddings is a cost-effective and popular solution.
Are acoustic duos loud enough to get people dancing at a wedding reception or party?
Absolutely. Most acoustic duos have a party set ideal for dancing – some use a self-contained PA system to boost their sound when required.
How much cheaper will an acoustic duo be in comparison to a full band?
Put simply, the main factor that determines the cost of live music is the number of musicians required. Therefore, an acoustic duo is often about half the price of hiring a four-piece band for your event.
What sort of music do acoustic duos play?
Acoustic duos can perform any music that a full band would perform, of course with a more stripped-back arrangement. Their set lists often feature many acoustic guitar-based songs but they are highly skilled musicians who perform a wide range of pop and rock covers.
How do I hire an acoustic duo for my event?
On FixTheMusic there are several professional acoustic duos listed. Submit an enquiry to receive quotes directly from local duos. You can compare their quotes, message them on our secure system and when you’re ready to book, you can pay safely online by debit or credit card. It’s that simple!
