Photo of Mel'S Acoustic Mel'S Acoustic "⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Wedding Experience My wife and I are incredibly grateful to Mel for being such an important part of our wedding day. From the very beginning, he served as our wedding singer and choir member during our Nuptial Mass at Prince of Peace Catholic Church. His voice added so much beauty, reverence, and emotion to the ceremony. The music made every moment feel even more meaningful, and many of our guests told us how touching the Mass was. After the ceremony, Mel seamlessly transitioned to our wedding reception as our solo acoustic performer. He created the perfect atmosphere with a wonderful mix of romantic love songs, classic favorites, and upbeat music that everyone enjoyed. His professionalism, talent, and ability to connect with our guests made the reception feel warm, elegant, and truly unforgettable. One thing we appreciated most was how easy he was to work with throughout the planning process. He was reliable, organized, and genuinely cared about making our wedding special. If you’re looking for someone who can provide beautiful church music for your wedding ceremony and then continue the celebration with live acoustic entertainment at your reception, we highly recommend Mel. His versatility and passion for music made our wedding complete. Thank you, Mel, for helping create memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. — Mike & Grace, Newlyweds 💍❤️🎶" Based in Las Vegas, Nevada 15th July 2026 Mike - Our wedding Photo of Awaaz Group Awaaz Group ""Beyond Expectation" Hands down the best in the business!

Based in Wichita, Kansas 30th April 2026 Lindsey - Birthday party Photo of Rich Stolp Music Rich Stolp Music "Rich was excellent in his professionalism from the beginning to end of the process. We had a short notice event in which we were looking for a musician. Rich was excellent in completing our company paperwork in a timely manner and was very responsive. The music and set up was smooth and excellent. Rich provided us with a great ambiance of live music at our event. We will certainly book him for future events and would recommend his musical talents."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring folk singers is $330, with prices from $100 to $900+. Pricing depends on the singer's experience, performance duration and whether they perform with a guitar, other instruments or backing tracks. Folk singers suit a range of settings from intimate acoustic performances to larger outdoor events.

A live folk musician working a pub or bar usually plays two or three shorter sets across an evening rather than one continuous performance, with an audience that comes and goes. The setup is lighter, since there is rarely a stage and the corner of a room is the normal spot. Rates for this work differ from function bookings, so it is worth saying which kind of event it is when enquiring.

The folk singers in United States perform traditional folk, contemporary folk, Celtic, acoustic singer-songwriter material and folk-influenced popular music. Many folk singers accompany themselves on guitar, banjo or other acoustic instruments.

Many are writers as well as performers and will mix their own songs with traditional material and familiar covers. The balance is usually the booker's choice and most are happy to lean either way. For an event where guests should recognise what they hear, say so, because a set of entirely new songs makes for a different evening.

Hiring folk singers is ideal for weddings, pub and bar events, festivals, private parties, corporate dinners and intimate gatherings. The acoustic, storytelling style of folk music creates a warm, personal atmosphere that suits a wide range of settings.

Singalong choruses are part of the tradition and many performers use them deliberately, choosing songs a room can pick up inside a verse. How far it goes depends on the crowd and the point in the evening, and a good performer reads that rather than forcing it. Events wanting a quieter listening set should say so, as the same singer can do either.

For small, intimate venues, many folk singers can perform without amplification. For larger spaces or outdoor events, a small PA system is usually needed. Most folk singers bring their own amplification equipment. It is worth confirming the setup with the singer based on the venue.

Many folk singers offer flexible performance options, from solo acoustic sets to performances with additional musicians such as a guitarist, fiddle player or small ensemble. It is worth discussing line-up options with the singer when requesting a quote.
