Live acoustic guitar for weddings in Telford

Telford is one of Shropshire's largest towns, well connected by the M54 and close to the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site. It draws couples from Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Staffordshire and Mid Wales, alongside those marrying locally. I cover weddings across Telford and the surrounding area as part of my service throughout Shropshire.

My style is contemporary and acoustic rather than classical or formal. Think The Beatles, Ed Sheeran and Coldplay rather than strict traditional pieces. This suits the mix of venues around Telford, from golf resort ballrooms to converted barns. Browse the full repertoire for ideas.

I'm based in Worcestershire and travel to Telford 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.
