Acoustic Musicians in Devon

Live acoustic music for weddings and events in Devon

If you want live music for your wedding without the volume of a full band, an acoustic act is the natural choice. In Devon, acoustic musicians play ceremonies, drinks receptions and dinners, giving the day a relaxed, personal soundtrack.

Across Devon, acoustic acts are booked for weddings and events in and around Exeter, Plymouth and Torquay. Venues in the area include Sharpham House, Watermouth Cove and The Great Barn Devon, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. Rockbeare Manor, Bickley Mill and ANRÁN at Tidwell Farm are among the other Devon venues listed further down, each with its own page.

The appeal of an acoustic act is how easily it fits in. With guitars, vocals and sometimes a cajon or double bass, an acoustic line-up can play in a ceremony room, on a terrace or in a busy courtyard and still sound warm and relaxed.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for weddings since 1999. Every acoustic act listed here travels to Devon as standard, and the instant quote button on this page shows pricing and availability for your date.

The essentials:

• Budget from around £350 to £1,400, depending on the act and the date
• Book for the ceremony only, or for the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast
• Popular dates go months in advance
• Everything included is listed in your quote
• Change your mind within 14 days and get a full refund

Think about the size of the space and how many guests will be there. A single performer works well for up to around 80 guests in a ceremony room, while a duo or trio carries better outdoors or in a busy reception. Most acts bring a small, discreet PA so they can be heard without being loud.

Prices usually start from around £350 and go up to £1,400 or so. A solo musician for a single set sits at the lower end; a duo or trio covering the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast sits towards the upper end. Your quote shows the full price for your date, so you can compare acts on the same basis.

Every act's page has video and audio of the performer you would actually book, along with their repertoire and written reviews from couples who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the sound before you commit.
