Stuart ToogoodWedding Guitarist

Providing instrumental acoustic guitar for your ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast.

Introduction

Worcestershire's leading wedding guitarist

I'm Stuart Toogood, a wedding guitarist based in Worcestershire. I play relaxed, contemporary acoustic guitar at weddings across Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Shropshire and the West Midlands - creating the perfect atmosphere without overpowering your day.

I've played at over 450 weddings at venues including Curradine Barns, Warwick Castle, Clearwell Castle, Ragley Hall, Ettington Park, Mythe Barn and many more. I'm a recommended supplier at Curradine Barns, Gorcott Hall, Blackwell Grange, Hogarth's, Crumplebury and Arley House and Gardens.

It's a privilege to be asked to play at someone's wedding. To be part of one of the most important days of a couple's life is a real honour - and that's why I give every booking my full personal attention from the first enquiry to the last note.

From guests arriving to the bride's entrance, the signing of the register, and the exit as newlyweds - live guitar makes each moment feel real and lasting.

"Stuart, thanks for your excellent guitar playing at the ceremony to award a wonderful free wedding package to injured soldier Dale Leach and his bride-to-be Alexandra Lewis at Birmingham Council House. Your accompanying music was relaxing and just right for the occasion. It added very much to the atmosphere of the event."

About Stuart

Playing guitar for over 20 years

I have been playing guitar for most of my life. The Beatles were the reason I started - I still think they are the greatest band that ever existed, and I was fortunate enough to meet Paul McCartney. I went solo around 20 years ago and concentrated on weddings, because they are the happiest occasions at the most beautiful venues.

Previous clients include the Duke of Gloucester, SMEG, Britvic and Jaguar Land Rover. I am a recommended supplier at Curradine Barns, Gorcott Hall, Blackwell Grange, Hogarth's, Crumplebury and Arley House and Gardens.

Venues I know well

I have played at wedding venues across Worcestershire and the Midlands - barns, country houses, hotels, castles, and everything in between. I know how each space sounds and how the day typically flows.

"Stuart's accomplished playing added to the atmosphere of the evening. His range of music and mix of tunes really understood the audience and the nature of the event. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for pre-dinner drinks events or garden parties in the future."
