Reviews of Acoustic Bands based near Maidstone

5/5 from 47 reviews
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 Gillingham, England (9 miles from Maidstone) Mr & Mrs Phelps - Wedding Photo of Move Over Dali Move Over Dali "A VERY IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE ON THEIR DEBUT PERFORMANCE, Certainly left an impact, Plenty of happy dancing going on Everyone were well pleased with the choice of songs, not heavy rock, a band with a definite commitment to music, CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM, AND EVERYONE THAT MADE THE EVENING THE SUCCESS THAT IT WAS" Based in Tonbridge, England (12 miles from Maidstone) Royal Oak, Tonbridge - Move Over Dali gig Photo of Kat Farmer Singer Kat Farmer Singer "Thank you Kat for an amazing night of music.

They were fantastic and our guests were raving about how excellent they were!" Based in Hastings, England (29 miles from Maidstone) Emily & Michael - Wedding 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 (32 miles from Maidstone) 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.
