Reviews from local events in London
“Thank you for your outstanding performance at The Goring hotel for the wedding of S & J in June 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 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.”

“Sunbirds Duo were absolutely brilliant! The vibe from start to finish was spot on, with great music that really lifted the whole atmosphere. Professional, energetic, and genuinely fun to listen to—they made the event feel special and memorable. Would definitely recommend!”
““I very much want to relive this night.. over and over and over..” We have had the immense joy to host a party for my wife’s 40th where the Party Academics performed for us and our friends. It was the most amazing set, with a truly unique performance, and a few surprises :) I cannot recommend them more. They were extremely professional ahead of and during the event, scheduling calls to understand the vibe of the crowd, sharing as many details as possible on their sets and really delivering a unique experience for us. Everyone had a lot of fun, they made the party alive, and thanks to them we all have a night we can remember until we re-do it all again with the Party Academics for the next birthday :)”
“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!”

“ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE GUYS. This band is ‘the best’ party band one could ever possibly dream of. It is impossible not to love them. I am SO grateful & lucky to have had them perform for us at our wedding party. Actually - they were single handedly responsible for creating the most incredible fun vibe throughout the whole day. There was not one person seated when these guys commanded the stage. What an incredible pairing/duo. SUPER fun, full of energy, so unique - and probably the best band I’ve ever worked with. As an event organiser myself - picking a band to perform at my own wedding was a big challenge for me and I needed to get it right - but man - I couldn’t have done better if I tried. They’re exceptional. Don’t think about it - just book them. You absolutely won’t regret it. They are incredibly talented and also the nicest guys to deal with. I just love them. I want to organize more events just to experience them again. My photos just do not do them justice. Waiting for our professional photographer to share more because honestly they deserve much more than what I can show you.”

“Booked Wandering three last minute, but they were so accommodating & such a laugh! Really brought the vibe to the event, everyone loved the moment. They took song requests got involved and were just so joyful!! Book them, you won't regret it!!”
“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!”
“The trio were super professional from booking to event. They set a lovely atmosphere for our event and we’ll definitely be using them again in the future.”
“Thank you so much for joining us and creating such a special event for our customers, look forward to working with you in the future.”
“Absolutely brilliant, the guys were genuinely the. best. ever. They made the difference for a 40th surprise birthday party and every single guest of every age (children and adults alike) was so impressed and had so much fun because of their sets and ability to take any requests across so many different musical genres. Liaising in advance was also brilliant. Ollie was super client-centric, attentive to details and any preferences or logistical concerns. Russ and the guys arrived early, relaxed, professional and ready to go as arranged. Can not recommend them enough. 10/10, with thanks from the birthday boy, all of our friends and family and myself.”
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.
