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.
