Acoustic acts are the usual answer when a venue has a noise limiter or the ceremony is outdoors, since most can play with very little amplification or none at all.

A guide to booking

Hire Acoustic Bands in Australia

Acoustic bands in Australia play unplugged or lightly amplified, which suits ceremonies, drinks receptions and rooms with a sound limit. Most work from popular songs rearranged for acoustic instruments, and many offer a smaller line-up for the daytime and a fuller one after dinner.

Where Acoustic Bands Work Best

Outdoor ceremonies, marquees and rooms with a strict noise limit are the obvious cases, because an acoustic set carries without a PA fighting the limiter. They also suit long events where the music has to sit under conversation for part of the day and lead it later. Ask whether the band brings its own small PA, since even acoustic acts usually want vocal reinforcement in a larger room.

Acoustic Band Costs in Australia

Rates for a duo in Australia start at $240 and rise to $2,600+ for a five-piece with full instrumentation, with most bookings around $800. Line-up size is the main variable, followed by how many hours of playing you need and how far the band travels.

Photo of John Madeley - Solo Acoustic John Madeley - Solo Acoustic "John is a fantastic performer, great song selection playing a lot of 80’s alternative hits! Great crowd interaction! Will definitely hire again!" 1st July 2026 Ray Schneider - Private event Photo of Churi Churi "We booked Churi to play at our friend’s Hen Party and he did not disappoint! He was very efficient and professional in his communication before the event. He brought so much fun and great songs which we were dancing to all night long. We would 100% recommend booking him for any of your upcoming parties or events." 4th August 2026 Lydia Wiles - Hen Party Photo of Dagmar & Jacopo (Swing and Jazz Duo) Dagmar & Jacopo (Swing and Jazz Duo) "Fae & Sebastian H. - Per Dagmar & Jacopo - Jazz & Swing Duo 27/08/2026, Wedding Dagmar and Jacopo were truly the voice and soul of our wedding. We booked the duo to accompany the most special moments of our ceremony and aperitivo, and they made both absolutely unforgettable. Dagmar (fluent in so many languages, including the ones that were most important to us: German, English, Italian, and Spanish) enchanted everyone with her beautiful voice while also excelling in her role as our MC. From beginning to end, the collaboration felt warm, personal, and completely on equal footing, while always remaining highly professional. Their beautiful interpretations of songs that hold a very special place in our hearts made some of the most meaningful moments of our wedding even more memorable. And one moment we will definitely never forget: during our ceremony, one of the rings went missing. While everyone embarked on a scavenger hunt across the 2ha garden of the villa, Dagmar and Jacopo reacted quickly & kept playing.. providing the perfect soundtrack and turning this moment into one of the funniest and coolest experiences of the entire day. (Yes, we eventually found the ring! 😊) Thank you, Dagmar and Jacopo, for bringing so much heart, joy, and beautiful music to our wedding. We couldn’t have imagined it without you." 27th August 2026 Fae & Sebastian H. - Wedding Photo of Soupir Soupir "We couldn’t have asked for better musicians for our wedding! From the very beginning, communication was easy, friendly, and flexible. As we don’t speak French, it was especially important to us that communication could also be handled in English, and everything went smoothly throughout the planning process. The performance itself was absolutely wonderful. They are both incredibly talented musicians, and the singer has a truly beautiful voice. The pianist was also excellent, and together they created a fantastic atmosphere for our special day. They listened carefully to our wishes and took all of our requests into consideration, which made the experience feel very personal and special. We received so many compliments from our guests about the music! We highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented, professional, and easy-to-work-with musicians for their wedding. Thank you for making our day even more memorable!" 8th September 2026 Ilari - Private Wedding Photo of Aadi Saxena Aadi Saxena "We had the pleasure of having Aadi perform at our daughter’s first birthday celebration, and we were absolutely delighted with his performance. Aadi is a young, talented, versatile, and new-age singer with a beautiful voice and a natural stage presence. His soft, soulful music created a wonderful and pleasant atmosphere throughout the celebration. We especially loved how effortlessly he blended soothing melodies with the mood of the occasion. His performance added a special warmth and elegance to our daughter’s big day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a talented young singer who can create a beautiful musical atmosphere at any event. 🎶✨ Thank you, Aadi, for being a part of our special celebration and making it even more memorable! ❤️" 14th September 2026 Saptadip Datta - Birthday Photo of Erika Petti Erika Petti "We hired Erika for a private event in Tuscany and it was honestly one of the best decisions we made for the whole trip. We had a group of English friends over for a few days in the Tuscan countryside, and we wanted something special for one of the evenings. Erika came with her guitar and voice and completely won everyone over. She's incredibly versatile, moving easily between Italian classics, jazz, bossa nova and English songs, so there was something for everyone in the group. Beyond the music, she was warm, professional and easy to organise everything with beforehand. She read the room perfectly and adjusted the set as the evening went on, which made the whole night feel effortless. Our friends are still talking about it. Highly recommend her for any private event, big or small, especially if you want a mix of languages and styles done really well" 24th September 2026 Katherine - Private Event

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring acoustic bands is $800, with prices from $240 to $2,600+. Pricing depends on the number of band members, performance duration and whether additional equipment such as a PA system is included. Acoustic bands vary widely in line-up, from duos to larger ensembles, and this is typically the biggest factor in cost.

Common events for acoustic bands include weddings, drinks receptions, garden parties, intimate corporate events, restaurants and venues with noise restrictions. The softer acoustic sound allows guests to enjoy live music while still being able to hold conversations.

The acoustic bands in Australia perform a wide range of genres in an acoustic or unplugged style, including pop, rock, folk, indie, country and classic hits. The acoustic format gives songs a more intimate and relaxed feel, making it a versatile choice for many types of events.

Some acoustic bands perform entirely unplugged and need no power at all, while others use small amplifiers or microphones that require a standard power outlet. For outdoor events, a portable power source may be needed. It is a good idea to confirm any power requirements with the band before the event.

The acoustic bands on Gig Heaven range from solo acoustic performers and duos up to full acoustic ensembles of four or five musicians. A smaller act suits intimate settings, while a larger group provides a fuller sound. Many acts offer flexible line-up options depending on the event.

Many acoustic bands offer the flexibility to switch between acoustic and amplified sets during an event. This allows the music to start quietly during dinner or drinks and build in energy later in the evening. It is worth discussing this option with the band when making an enquiry.
