When it comes to wedding planning, choosing the right music can feel overwhelming. Live music, particularly an acoustic wedding duo, is one of the most impactful choices you can make, so we're here to bust some myths about having live music at your wedding!
As a wedding and event singer and acoustic duo in the East Midlands UK, offering live music from relaxed background music to party vibes, here is some genuine wedding music inspiration for couples planning their big day.
Myth 1: Live music is only for the ceremony
Myth: Live music is only suitable for walking down the aisle.
Truth: An acoustic wedding duo can provide music throughout your entire day, ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast, and evening celebrations. This is where our wedding singer packages options come into their own, as we offer many packages to suit what you're looking for!
A wedding singer package approach allows couples to bundle multiple live music sets into one seamless experience, rather than booking separate suppliers. From romantic ceremony songs to laid-back acoustic covers during drinks and upbeat party sets later on, live music can evolve beautifully as your day unfolds.
Myth 2: Live music is too loud or distracting
Myth: Live musicians will overpower conversation or feel intrusive.
Truth: Acoustic setups are perfect for maintaining balance. A professional acoustic wedding duo knows exactly how to adjust volume and energy to suit each moment. So many times guests have come up to us and said they thought it was tracks being played we blended in so well! And that's what we pride ourselves on, blending to the moment, and fitting right in to the atmosphere! Don't get me wrong, when we need to, we can shift gear and get people moving and grooving - just check out this reel here to see how this works in action!
Myth 3: Acoustic music is too chilled for a party
Myth: Acoustic music won't be upbeat enough
Truth: Acoustic does not mean low energy or just background. With modern arrangements and loop pedals, an acoustic wedding duo can deliver vibrant, upbeat performances that rival any party playlist. Check out this post, from the end of the night at one of our acoustic gigs!
Our speciality is taking weddings from relaxed background music to party vibes, giving you the best of both worlds without needing to change suppliers or setups - but did you know we also have a party band?!
Myth 4: Live music limits your song choices
Myth: We'll get more variety with a DJ or a band
Truth: To be honest, this is more about vibe preference that variety - as there's not many songs we can't do! We'll be honest about the sound we can produce though, as there are only two of us! If you're looking for the full band sound, or the electronic 90s dance beats, then we'll bow out, but can we make our own arrangements of the majority of songs? Absolutely yes!
Myth 5: Live music is more stressful to organise
Myth: I don't want the stress of organising another supplier
Truth: Booking an experienced acoustic wedding duo can actually simplify things, and

stress! We will do all the organising and liaising with your venue, and having a live musician takes the pressure of another person to press play at the right time, and solves any playlist issues on the day. We will ensure your day flows seamlessly, be on hand for any delays to provide some extra tunes, and make sure the atmosphere gets just the right tracks at the right time!
Why couples choose an acoustic wedding duo:
Couples choose live music because it creates:
A warm, personal atmosphere
Seamless transitions throughout the day
Interactive, memorable performances
One cohesive soundtrack rather than disconnected moments, avoiding any technical issues or added pressure.
