Acoustic wedding bands for hire in Birmingham

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.

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.

Acoustic cover bands generally start at about £1,000 for a 3-piece band or £1,400 for a 4-piece acoustic band.
