Wedding singer in Richmond — acoustic music for Richmond & West London weddings

Richmond, Twickenham, Kew — I play this patch of west London regularly throughout the year, both for weddings and for the venues' regular acoustic nights. It's close enough to home that travel is never an issue, and the mix of riverside and park venues suits acoustic music particularly well.

Venues I know in the area

  • Kew Gardens Hotel — regular gig for me, the acoustic room works brilliantly for weddings
  • Richmond Hill Hotel — stunning views, lots of wedding bookings
  • Pembroke Lodge (Richmond Park) — outdoor weddings in the park
  • The Petersham Hotel — riverside, smaller weddings
  • The Bingham — boutique hotel on the river
  • Marble Hill House (Twickenham) — Georgian villa, beautiful grounds

Richmond weddings specifically

The riverside location means a lot of Richmond weddings have outdoor or open-air elements — drinks receptions on terraces, garden games, evening fire pits. A solo acoustic setup works well in these spots because I can move with the crowd if needed and don't need a stage or a loud PA. I carry a portable setup that sounds great outdoors.

What's included

Full acoustic PA, wireless microphones if needed, backing tracks only if we've agreed them ahead of time (I prefer not to — live guitar is the point). I'll learn up to three songs specifically for your day as part of the booking.

Richmond and Twickenham are both well within my standard catchment — no travel surcharge. Send me your date, venue and timings and I'll come back with a quote.

Frequently asked

Quick answers to the questions that come up most often when people reach out about a gig.

  • Can you learn a specific song for our wedding or event?
    For weddings, yes — I'll learn songs that really matter (first dance, ceremony entrance, a parent dance) but I need plenty of notice because I'm booked up and the work is squeezed around gigs. For a big event please give me at least a year's notice where you can. For smaller private functions and pub gigs, my 600+ song repertoire is the practical place to draw from — I'll almost always have the track you want already in the set.
  • Do you play ceremony, drinks reception AND the evening?
    Yes — I cover full wedding days regularly. Ceremony music, the post-vows walk-out, drinks reception, and into the evening. With wireless microphones on the same rig I can also handle the speeches, so an unconventional venue without its own PA is no problem as long as there's a power supply. We'll work the timings around your schedule so everything flows.
  • What's the difference between a solo acoustic singer and a wedding band?
    I cover both ends of that for most weddings. The ceremony, drinks reception and early-evening work brilliantly as solo acoustic — warm, personal, easy in smaller spaces. For the evening party, I scale up: electric guitar for the solos and louder numbers, backing tracks behind the live guitar and live vocals, which gives a full band-like sound without the footprint or cost of a four-piece. Because it's me and not a whole band relearning a setlist, I stay more flexible with last-minute song choices than most bands can be.
