Photo of Charlie Duo Charlie Duo "Thank you so much to Charlie Duo for performing at a charity event I held. They were amazing! The most helpful people in the run up to the event! Really prompt so accommodating and done everything I asked. The price was amazing and we had the best comments from guests and many people asking for their details" Based in Chelmsford, England (12 miles from Basildon) Charlotte Twigg - Charity Event Photo of Electric Outfit Live Band Electric Outfit Live Band "Hi guys, I just wanted to drop you a quick message to thank you so much for playing at our wedding, our guests kept telling us how amazing you were throughout the evening, right from the first dance to the very end you kept all ages up and dancing….exactly what we were hoping for when booking a band, you certainly delivered…and then some!" Based in Gillingham, England (13 miles from Basildon) Mr & Mrs Phelps - Wedding Photo of Lewis Ross Music Lewis Ross Music "Lewis was amazing!! We had him at our little civil ceremony in Brighton and he was a true highlight of the ceremony. We listened to so many musicians during our search, and while many were undoubtedly talented, a lot of them seemed to put their interpretation ahead of the music itself. We were looking for someone who would let the songs shine, and that's exactly what he did, while having a beautiful voice himself. His voice is natural without sounding overdone or forced. His performances felt authentic, heartfelt, and true to the songs we already knew and loved. Rather than trying to reinvent them, he captured everything that made them special in the first place, which was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. As well as his great voice, he was also incredibly responsive, helpful and accommodating. He followed the brief exactly, and we are truly grateful. We would have him again in a heartbeat and definitely recommend him to others." Based in Maidstone, England (21 miles from Basildon) 27th July 2026 Sofia and Ben - Wedding Photo of Acacia Road Acacia Road "e recently had the pleasure of booking Acacia Road for our wedding, and I can confidently say they were the best decision we made for our special day. From the moment we contacted them, the professionalism and enthusiasm from their team were evident. They took the time to understand our vision and catered to our musical preferences, which made the planning process seamless and enjoyable. On the day of the wedding, Acacia Road truly brought their A-game. Their performance was nothing short of spectacular. The band had an incredible energy that instantly set the mood, getting our guests on their feet and dancing the night away. Their repertoire is diverse, covering a wide range of genres that catered to all our guests, from classic hits to modern favourites. The vocalists were remarkably talented, and the instrumentalists were top-notch, creating a fullbodied sound that filled the venue beautifully. One of the highlights was their ability to read the room. They tailored their setlist based on the energy and vibe of our guests, ensuring that the dance floor was always packed. At one point, they even took requests, which really made our guests feel involved and added a personal touch to the evening. Moreover, the band’s professionalism was evident throughout the evening. They arrived early to set up, coordinated seamlessly with our wedding coordinator, and were adaptable to any changes we requested. Their friendly demeanour made them a joy to work with, helping to alleviate any wedding-day stress. In summary, Acacia Road exceeded all our expectations. They transformed our reception into an unforgettable celebration filled with laughter and dancing. If you're looking for an amazing band to create lasting memories at your wedding, I wholeheartedly recommend Acacia Road. They are truly the best choice we could have made, and we are so grateful for the incredible experience they provided!"

Before the ceremony the Duo were incredibly helpful and flexible in helping finalise the set list for our welcome drinks and cocktail hour and the equipment they would require. We were also fortunate that the Duo learnt our first dance song, sending over a demo well before the ceremony so that we could check that we were comfortable dancing to it. On the day, both Nadine and Lumai were brilliant. They were exactly the style of performer we were looking for, with their bossa-nova sound setting the perfect atmosphere for our guests on their arrival and during our cocktail hour. We’ll always remember that we were fortunate enough to have a live band perform our first dance - thank you so much for making this happen!" Based in London, England (25 miles from Basildon) 19th September 2026 Grace and Tom - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring acoustic bands is £410, with prices from £120 to £1,300+. 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.
