Acoustic wedding bands are becoming more and more popular at wedding receptions in the UK. There has been a resurgence in the popularity of folk rock music (think Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers), which often features upright bass, acoustic guitars and sometimes banjo or cajon.
FixTheMusic is free for event planners to use – bands provide quotes directly to you.
Wedding venues in the UK now have to adhere to strict limits on environmental noise imposed by local councils. In practice, this means that most wedding venues have a sound limiter to prevent excessively loud live music. Acoustic bands solve this problem as they perform at a much lower decibel level in comparison to amplified bands.
Acoustic bands can often work out to be cheaper than “electric” wedding bands, as much less PA equipment is required to be transported by the band.
They can create a more intimate atmosphere suitable at smaller wedding venues with fewer guests but will also be loud enough to get your guests onto the dance floor. Acoustic bands are very popular at festival-themed weddings and vintage-themed weddings.
Acoustic wedding bands on FixTheMusic have public liability insurance and PAT tested equipment.






“Book Roaming Beats! They were absolutely amazing at our wedding and were so much fun. Every single song was perfect, they are all so talented and got every single person involved and dancing. I love that the band moves around and so it felt like the whole space was the party and because they didn’t amplify the sound for us, people could also still talk and hear each other. Roaming beats have been talked about non stop by our guests, they made a huge impact on our celebration and brought so much joy. THANK YOU!”
“Thank you for your outstanding performance at The Goring Hotel for the wedding of S & J 2026. As a luxury wedding planner, I have the pleasure of working with some exceptional suppliers, and The Wandering Three are right at the top of that list. On the day, they performed as a five-piece band, and the energy, musicianship and vocals were simply fantastic! Beyond the music, they were impeccably organised, warm, flexible and a genuine pleasure to work with. Their repertoire is incredibly varied, they keep the music flowing seamlessly throughout the day, happily accommodate guest requests wherever possible, and even took care of the announcements for us, which was hugely appreciated. Most importantly, they created an atmosphere that had everyone smiling, dancing and talking about the celebration long after it had finished. A truly first-class team, and one I would recommend without hesitation for any high-end wedding or event.”
“The Ferryman are amazing!! Zack and the rest of the band got the party started at our wedding and kept an amazing positive vibe throughout! On an extremely hot day the band had amazing energy, they were able to play music outside our town hall and then played throughout the journey to the reception on a vintage double decker bus, very impressive! They got such an amazing vibe going and all our guests absolutely loved them. Throughout the day the band were just incredible and Zack was really friendly and responsive when booking the band as well. Could not recommend them higher!!”
“The guys were fantastic. I found it impossible to find a great band, that also could do Irish folk music with a fiddle. They were just what we'd hoped for energetic, great voices and unbelievable musicians. They really made our wedding. I highly recommend.”
“The Roameo Band were absolutely fantastic at our client’s wedding party from start to finish. They created such an amazing atmosphere and had everyone on the dancefloor all night. The guests absolutely loved them, and their energy and interaction with the crowd were brilliant. They were also incredibly friendly, professional, and very quick to respond throughout the planning process, which made everything so easy for us as event planners. We would highly recommend them for weddings and parties, and we would love to work with them again in the future!”
“As good as everyone says. Extremely professional in the organisation and lead up, and unbelievable vibes on the day. Dance floor full all night!”
“If we could leave 6 stars we would. Sunbirds Duo were, without doubt, the best money we spent at our wedding. We had so many guests asking about them afterwards and complimenting us on our choice to book them. They played before and during our ceremony, as well as a roaming trio at our drinks reception. But the highlight by far was them gatecrashing (planned!) our dessert, duetting with guests and dancing around the tables. If you do one thing for your wedding, book these guys!”
“Wow… what can I say! They were the highlight of our wedding, our guests absolutely loved it and it really got the party started. I cannot recommend them more, absolutely incredible!! Thanks so much again for making our wedding epic :) ”
“Wandering Three’s performance at our wedding night was honestly beyond words. Their energy, passion, and talent brought such a special atmosphere to our celebration. What we loved most was how they skillfully tailored the music and track choice to the room, and their huge repertoire meant that all our guests (and us) had THE best time ever, we didn’t want them to leave! Set up was totally seamless. One minute they weren’t there and the next they had everything out and were completely ready to go. Would highly recommend them to make your wedding or event unforgettable. This band is phenomenal! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Absolutely fantastic - couldn't have been more perfect! All our guests were on the dance floor all night which made me so incredibly happy. Every single song was brilliant and the band seemed to be enjoying the party as much as we all were. Sam responded almost instantly to queries by email in the weeks leading up to the wedding. They arrived in plenty of time and set up promptly. The perfect band! Thank you very much!”
“We had The London Brass Roamers perform at our wedding and they were brilliant! Their entrance to our chosen song was absolutely spot on and all our guests loved them - we’ve had lots of comments about their performance since. They were also super friendly and easy to communicate with throughout - would recommend.”
“So glad we booked The Roaming Folks. They were really communicative from the start which made the process easy and took the stress out of wedding planning. They entertained our guests thoroughly during our drinks reception and even surprised me and the groom with a lovely rendition of Amore at the entrance to the reception. Would highly recommend booking them for your future event!”
Acoustic cover bands generally start at about £750 for a 3-piece band or £950 for a 4-piece acoustic band.
An acoustic roaming band is ideal for outdoor drinks receptions where a mobile band can really add an extra dimension to your event. It’s a great advantage that the band doesn’t need to plug into a PA system but can instead roam freely to interact with your guests.
Wandering acoustic bands are one of the hottest trends in live music currently – they are in great demand to perform at weddings throughout the UK.
