Ah, weddings! A celebration of love, unity, and a promise of forever. Now, imagine this beautiful occasion accompanied by the soulful strumming of a guitar and the melodic voice of an acoustic wedding singer. Sounds dreamy, right? Let’s dive into the world of acoustic wedding singers and discover how to find the perfect one for your special day.

Hiring The Perfect Acoustic Wedding Singer

There’s something undeniably magical about live acoustic music. It’s raw, intimate, and has the power to tug at the heartstrings. When played at weddings, acoustic tunes can set the mood, making every moment feel even more special and memorable. Some people choose to mix up their live music into the evening and have a bigger band play at the reception, but an acoustic wedding singer is much more suited to the ceremony itself.

Why Choose an Acoustic Singer for Your Wedding?

Ever wondered why acoustic singers are becoming a popular choice for weddings? Let’s break it down:

•  

  • Personal Touch: Acoustic singers often bring a personal touch to their performances. Their renditions can make popular songs feel unique and tailored just for you.

• • Versatility of Acoustic Music: From romantic ballads to upbeat tracks, acoustic singers can cover a wide range of genres, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

• • Budget-Friendly Option: Hiring a full band can be expensive. An acoustic singer, on the other hand, offers a more budget-friendly alternative without compromising on the quality of entertainment.

How to Find the Perfect Acoustic Wedding Singer

Finding the right singer for your wedding can be a daunting task. But don’t fret! Here are some tried and tested ways:

•  

  • Go Book It – Event Supplier Marketplace. (Sorry, I know we are bias, but there are so many fantastic acoustic wedding singers listed on there accross the UK!)

• • Recommendations and Word of Mouth: Start by asking friends or family who’ve recently tied the knot. Their recommendations can be gold!

• • Online Platforms and Social Media: Websites like YouTube or Instagram are great platforms to discover talented acoustic singers. Plus, you get a sneak peek into their style and repertoire.

• • Attend Local Gigs: Keep an eye out for local performances. This gives you a chance to experience their live performance and gauge if they’re the right fit for your wedding.

Things to Consider Before Hiring

Before you finalize your singer, here are some things to consider:

•  

  • Experience and Portfolio: Has the singer performed at weddings before? Check their portfolio to get an idea of their style and versatility.

• • Song List and Customization: Does the singer have a setlist? Can they customize songs for you? (If you are asking them to learn a new song for you, do expect to pay additional as it will take time for them to perfect it for you)

• • Equipment and Setup: Ensure the singer has the necessary equipment and knows the setup logistics, especially if your venue is outdoors or has specific requirements. It is worth checking with your venue to see whether you need to ask the wedding singer to show any insurances too (the wedding singers will generally have this, don’t worry!)

Finalizing the Deal

Once you’ve found your perfect match:

•  

  • Contract and Payment Terms: Always have a written agreement. This ensures clarity on payment terms, performance duration, and other essential details.

• • Timings & Schedule. Make sure you are both on the same page with timings, when they are due to arrive at the venue and who their main contact will be etc. (Your venue will usually have someone who can help load them in etc).

Conclusion

Finding the perfect acoustic wedding singer can elevate your wedding day, making it unforgettable. With the right research and considerations, you’re sure to find a singer who resonates with your vision and adds a magical touch to your special day.
