Live acoustic guitar for weddings in Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury sits on a loop of the River Severn, with a historic town centre and wedding venues spread across the surrounding Shropshire countryside. I cover weddings here regularly as part of my service across the West Midlands and the surrounding counties.

My style is contemporary and acoustic rather than classical or formal. Think The Beatles, Ed Sheeran and Coldplay rather than strict traditional pieces. I play a mix of slow, medium and upbeat songs, adjusted to suit each part of your day. Browse the full repertoire for ideas.

I'm based in Worcestershire and travel to Shrewsbury and the surrounding area regularly for weddings. Whether you're planning a ceremony only, a drinks reception, a wedding breakfast, or the full day, I'm happy to discuss what would suit you best and confirm my availability for your date.

Yes, Shrewsbury is within my regular travel area. I travel across Shropshire and the wider Midlands for weddings, and Shrewsbury is well within comfortable range of my Worcestershire base. Travel within this area is included in my standard pricing.

Which parts of the day can you cover for a wedding in Shrewsbury?

I can cover the ceremony, drinks reception, and wedding breakfast, separately or in any combination. Most couples choose two or three parts of the day. I'm always happy to talk through what would work best for your particular day and venue.
