Photo of Gajè Gipsy Swing Gajè Gipsy Swing "Nothing but compliments for this band! They created such a lively vibe for our welcome party, no request was an issue, even played on in the dark when we had lighting issues. Our day was a whirlwind of activity as we arrived and organised everything for our 3 day event but it was so lovely that our welcome party was exactly what we had imagined thanks to them." Based in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna 9th October 2026 Kelly - Welcome party Photo of Saxophone and String Quartet Saxophone and String Quartet "From the first contact with Luigi it all went very smoothly. Great communication, flexible and most of all a wonderful addition to our wedding reception and party!" Based in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna 21st September 2026 Sanne - Great experience with Luigi!!! Photo of Fabrizio Moretti Fabrizio Moretti "A delightful evening with Radiostar! Their well-curated repertoire, featuring iconic songs with a personal touch that makes them unique. Great energy on stage and an engaged audience! Highly recommended!" Based in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna Fabio Gardini Photo of Spooney Rhythm Spooney Rhythm "It's good to have listened to four saxophones that play everything. A musical ascent from classical to jazz standards... I also heard them around Bologna with their swing and Queen songs, soundtracks and video games (Super Mario) are simply good." Translated from French Based in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna Monique D. - Theatre Show Photo of Serena Alessandri Serena Alessandri "Serena & LoveAffaire Duo were absolutely perfect for our small private party. Their music created an intimate, relaxed, and elegant atmosphere that made the evening feel truly special. Serena’s voice is beautiful and expressive, and the duo’s acoustic sound fit the space perfectly without ever feeling intrusive. They were professional, attentive, and wonderfully in tune with the mood of the guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better musical backdrop for such a personal celebration." Based in Ravenna, Emilia-Romagna (43 miles from Bologna) 11th January 2026 Emma Rodriguez - Private concert Photo of I Grammofoni I Grammofoni "I Grammofoni played at our wedding on 19 September in Umbria.

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring acoustic bands is €500, with prices from €150 to €1,650+. 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.

The acoustic bands for hire 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.

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 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.

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.
