Photo of Louise Golbey - Jazz, Soul, Pop, Disco Louise Golbey - Jazz, Soul, Pop, Disco "I first met Louise at a wedding showcase over 10 years ago, and from that moment she was completely embedded in my brain! She has such a wonderfully soulful, distinctive voice, and I remember knowing there and then that whenever my wedding day came, I wanted her to be the one performing. Fast forward more than a decade, and having Louise and the quartet there on our wedding day was honestly so special. They were absolutely incredible and created the most beautiful atmosphere from the moment they started playing. Hearing that voice I had remembered all those years ago, now singing at our wedding, was a real full-circle moment for me. The quartet were phenomenal – so talented, polished and effortlessly brilliant. The music brought so much warmth and emotion to the day, and so many of our guests commented on just how amazing they were. Louise, you were every bit as wonderful as I remembered and more. It was genuinely a dream to finally have you perform at our wedding after all these years. Thank you to you and the whole quartet and Terrron the DJ for being such a special part of our day and for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever. 🤍 We couldn’t recommend you highly enough! Kelly & Jake xx" Based in London, England 3rd November 2026 Kelly Godbold - Wedding Band Photo of Luminous Duo Luminous Duo "We booked the Duo for our wedding in Barcelona. 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 19th September 2026 Grace and Tom - Wedding Photo of Oh la la! Oh la la! "The residents of Norton Place were delighted to welcome Fifi and Olly to perform at our summer soirée on 16 August. Their performance was uplifting and wowed the audience over three sets with their fabulous range of familiar and not so familiar french music." Based in London, England 7th September 2026 Lynn McNamara - Summer party Photo of D.Banana Band D.Banana Band "We were absolutely thrilled to have this band play at our wedding reception! We requested reggae love songs because my partner and I both love old school reggae and their reggae rhythms were infectious, everyone was up dancing from the very first song, young and old. They played such a perfect mix of classic and well-loved tunes also. They sounded amazing, and were so professional and friendly throughout .They really made our day feel so special and joyful, we can’t recommend them enough! Thank you for giving us such wonderful memories."

Filippo is a superb guitarist and Azu's voice and performance is second to none! They compliment each other so well and really made it a night to remember. Without doubt, I wouldn't hesitate to book them again or strongly recommend them for a wedding or party. Thank you The Mirrors for the great evening and forever memories!!"

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.
