Stuart Toogood, Wedding Guitarist

Live acoustic guitar for weddings across West Midlands

The West Midlands has some superb wedding venues, and I am very familiar with the area having played at venues across Birmingham, Solihull, and beyond. Many couples from Birmingham and the surrounding towns choose me as their wedding guitarist, and I enjoy every wedding I play there.

I'm a recommended guitarist at Hogarths Hotel in Solihull and have played at corporate and wedding venues of every size and character across the West Midlands. The region's range of settings, from boutique hotel ceremony rooms to large function spaces and contemporary barn conversions, all suit live acoustic guitar well. Background music that is warm and present without being intrusive is particularly valued in the West Midlands' busier, more social wedding settings.

Music for every part of your wedding day

Live guitar music can provide the soundtrack to your entire wedding day across West Midlands. Most couples choose live music for two or three key moments, creating a consistent musical atmosphere from the ceremony through to the wedding breakfast.

01

Wedding Ceremony

Live acoustic guitar for guest arrival, your entrance down the aisle, the signing of the register, and your exit as a married couple. The most personal music of the day, I always learn songs specially for the ceremony if needed.

Ceremony music
02

Drinks Reception

Relaxed, warm acoustic music while your guests mingle and celebrate after the ceremony, inside or outside. Songs people know and love, at a level that lets conversation flow. Often the part guests talk about most.

03

Wedding Breakfast

Gentle background guitar throughout your meal, warm, familiar music that keeps the atmosphere alive without competing with conversation. The part of the day where you finally get to sit down and enjoy it.

Why live acoustic guitar

What live guitar brings to a wedding

Live acoustic guitar does something that a carefully curated playlist simply cannot, it fills the room with presence. Guests notice it. They comment on it. It gives people something to enjoy and talk about while you're off having photographs taken, and it creates moments that last long after the day is over.

I play instrumental fingerstyle guitar: warm and recognisable without being overpowering. Songs people know and love, at a volume that lets conversation flow. Background music done well, not too loud, not intrusive, just right.

And before your day, I always invite you to come over so we can go through song choices together and make sure everything feels exactly as you imagined.
