Acoustic Duo or Full Band? Choosing the Right Live Wedding Music Setup

The Summer Street Band performing live in-studio – offering both acoustic wedding music and full band experiences for your big day

One of the first questions many couples ask is: Should we go with an acoustic duo or a full band for live music at our wedding? Both have their own strengths, and your decision depends on your vision, your venue, and your budget.

Here’s how to decide:

Acoustic Duo – Intimate, Relaxed, Beautiful

Perfect for:

• Ceremonies

• Canapés

• Intimate receptions or small venues

Benefits:

• Softer sound ideal for romantic moments

• Budget-friendly

• Takes up less space

• Still delivers beautiful harmonies and professional performance

Our acoustic sets blend vocals and guitar in a laid-back, soulful style. Great for beach weddings or garden ceremonies.

Full Band – High-Energy, Dancefloor-Filling, Memorable

Perfect for:

• Reception party

• Large venues

• Dancefloor fun

Benefits:

• Big sound and show-stopping presence

• Engages guests of all ages

• Adds a real wow-factor

Our six-piece band brings a fun, vibrant mix of pop, soul, funk and dance-floor classics — guaranteed to get everyone up and moving.

Best of Both Worlds?

Many couples choose both:

• Duo for ceremony + canapés

• Full band for the reception

That’s exactly what’s included in our Wedding Packages, along with sound production and lighting.
