Browse 1,471 acoustic bands available for hire worldwide, rated 5 out of 5 across 3,252 reviews from real clients. These acts range from intimate acoustic duos to full folk-style festival bands, with prices starting from $130 and most bookings around $460.
Acoustic acts sit at the quieter end of live music. Where a cover band brings drums and amplification, an acoustic group works from guitars, upright bass, cajon and vocal harmony, so the sound fits a room rather than filling it. That makes them a common pick for ceremonies and dinner music as well as full evening sets.

Acoustic bands bring an intimate, organic sound to events that electric acts simply cannot match. These talented musicians rely on the natural resonance of acoustic instruments to create warm, engaging performances that connect directly with audiences. From fingerpicked guitars and rich vocal harmonies to acoustic versions of popular songs, these acts offer versatility that works across different event styles and venues.
Acoustic groups excel at reading the room and adjusting their energy to match the moment. Unlike their electric counterparts such as alternative bands or classic rock bands, acoustic acts can perform without complex sound systems, making them ideal for outdoor ceremonies, intimate venues, or locations with noise restrictions. Many acoustic musicians also offer the flexibility that cover bands provide, performing popular songs across multiple genres while maintaining that distinctive unplugged feel. For events requiring gentler background music, acoustic bands can smoothly transition between featured performances and easy listening sets.
The growing popularity of festival-style weddings (sometimes called WedFest) has made acoustic bands particularly sought after for outdoor and marquee celebrations.
Wedding ceremonies particularly benefit from acoustic performances, where the natural sound carries beautifully during processionals and ceremony music. Reception entertainment can range from acoustic duos providing dinner music to full festival-style bands creating a relaxed, communal atmosphere. Corporate events appreciate the professional yet approachable nature of acoustic performances, while birthday parties and anniversary celebrations find these acts create the personal moments guests talk about afterwards.
Rates typically range from $130 for smaller acoustic duos to $1,550+ for established festival-style groups with full instrumentation. The average booking cost sits around $460, reflecting the skill level and experience these musicians bring to performances. Factors affecting pricing include the number of performers, performance duration, travel requirements, and whether additional equipment like sound systems is included in the package.

Young & Younger
"Great Duo if anyone needs a Duo to play @ their venue I can highly recommend"
Krystal Live Band
"This band is simply fabulous! I organized a party with about 120 people, young and the most "old" and I have never seen such an atmosphere. The next day my guests only talked about that. The musical level is stunning, the set list is great, the sound is exceptional (it plays loud but you never have the impression that it hits your ears. I wonder how they come to this result!) The beautiful light show coordinated with the music. In short, great art. And not to spoil anything they are just adorable."
East West Rest Trio
"Playing an award show isn’t the easiest setting, especially without a clear cue schedule, but East West Rest made it feel completely natural. With just a few pointers, they listened, anticipated, and flowed seamlessly with the hosts and the rhythm of the night. As a producer, that took a big worry off my shoulders, and for the audience it added the perfect sound effects and a warm, pleasant, welcoming vibe during walk-in/breaks/inbetween awards. Imanol, Tian and Giannis, thank you so much for the music, the energy and the kindness. You truly set the tone for the evening. (The Lush team was also very pleased!)"

Nícolàs “El Rom”
"Absolutely fantastic. Right up there with performances we saw in Spain."
The Serenades
"It was a great pleasure to collaborate with this band for a wedding!
Talented, professional, friendly musicians, with incredible energy and especially a great singer! They managed to create an amazing atmosphere and get the newlyweds and their guests dancing and enjoying themselves fully.
A team that listens, pleasant and perfectly organized, with whom collaboration was smooth from start to finish.
I recommend them without hesitation and hope to have the opportunity to work with them again very soon on another wedding."
