Soundtrack to the best day ever.


We have known Andrew for years and have been aware of how talented he is for just as long. We were at a wedding a few years ago and Andrew was there for the full day. Some of the songs he was playing had us in tears (happy tears), he is amazing. We knew from that day that we had to have him at our wedding and when we contacted him, the entire booking process was very straight forward and relaxed. Andrew has the perfect balance of being professional yet personable - it feels like you’re talking to a family member or a life long friend during the catch up meetings and video calls - he made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process!

We booked the “Daytime solo, Full evening & PA package” which covered pretty much all day. The list of songs that we were sent to pick from was enormous and it was difficult to narrow these down as there are so many to pick from. We also asked Andrew if he could learn a song that wasn’t on the list and he did so without any fuss. The email and text contact throughout the build up to the wedding was exactly what we wanted, Andrew made us feel like everything was under control, and it was!

Our wedding day was exactly what we had dreamt of, Andrew’s voice and guitar playing sets the perfect tone for a wedding and his image is perfect. He is so easy going and will adapt the setlist throughout the day if needed. We had a few messages to make over the PA and Andrew sorted all of this for us without any fuss.

He was joined by his colleague Matt in the evening who is a percussionist. The energy that these two brought to our evening reception was outstanding. They made sure that our guests felt welcome but also that they were having the best night too. Andrew doesn’t just stand there playing his guitar and singing, he talks to the guests and has a laugh with them and this made it feel like everyone in the room had known each other forever. He introduced us in to the room for our cake cutting, First Dance and Dad & Daughter dances, making sure that all of the guests were there and didn’t miss it!

Andrew was at our wedding for the entire day and his energy levels did not drop for a second, we don’t know what his secret is! The feedback we have received from our guests regarding Andrew has been nothing but fantastic - he really is the best in the industry at what he does, “second to none” some might say.

We had the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been the same without Andrew and Matt. Thank you so much for making it the most amazing day.

A must for your wedding day!

We booked Andrew to sing and play for our drinks reception and wedding breakfast. He was simply incredible. ALL of our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much of a great singer and good vibe he was on the day. From the point of making our enquiry right the way through to after the wedding, communication was fantastic, we got to pick songs we loved, Andrew even helped us dedicate 2 songs in memory of our grandmas. He’s just amazing at what he does. We can’t wait to see more of him in our local when he’s not busy with other weddings, what a complete legend. You made our wedding perfect. Thank you🫶🏼

Our Wedding

Andrew is not only a brilliant musician but a true gent. Communication was professional, caring and smooth. Andrew even learnt a special song for us which he didn’t have on his play list. All our guests commented on how brilliant Andrew’s music was and what a nice guy he is. Thank you Andrew for being such an important part of our day.

10/10 would recommend!!

We honestly don’t know where to start!
From the moment we booked him, Andrew felt like so much more than a supplier - he genuinely felt like a friend who was going to be part of our wedding day. That meant so much to us.

Andrew played during our wedding breakfast and then our full evening set, and he was absolutely incredible. He created such an amazing atmosphere and somehow managed to make the whole evening feel even more special. The dance floor was full, everyone was having the best time, and we have so many brilliant memories from the night that we’ll treasure forever.

One of my favourite moments was Andrew letting me gatecrash his set and play the harmonica with him for Piano Man. It was completely ridiculous but absolutely perfect. 😂 It’s one of those little moments from our wedding that I’ll never forget, and it really sums up Andrew - incredibly talented, but also so warm, welcoming and genuinely invested in making your day memorable.

Andrew and Izzy have been amazing from start to finish. They were always so quick to respond to our questions and made everything feel easy and stress-free. We never once felt like we were just another booking - they genuinely cared about our day.

Looking back, we feel incredibly lucky that we found 24Live and that Andrew was such a big part of our wedding. We couldn’t imagine the day without him.

If you’re a couple thinking about booking them, our only advice is do it! They are worth every single penny and then some. You’re not just booking a band - you’re gaining people who genuinely care about making your wedding unforgettable.

Thank you, Andrew, Matt and Izzy, for being such a special part of our day ❤️

An absolutely amazing day, made better by Andrew and Matt.

From start to finish Andrew was so helpful and responsive. No questions were too big and he would always answer best he could! We had a call with Andrew before our big day to go through the timelines and song choices, this was so useful and felt so reassuring.

On the day Andrew sung me down the aisle and was absolutely amazing. We then opted for Matt to join too for the drinks reception and wedding breakfast. Every single one of our guests have not stopped talking about them, they were incredible. We were allowed to pick our own songs and if Andrew felt the vibe was right he would switch it up abit.

If we were to ever book entertainment for another occasion, without doubt we would go to these guys first. The absolute highlight of our day and we are so grateful.

Truly talented

There isn't a big enough thanks.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It’s taken us a day to properly reflect on just how amazing yesterday was, and we honestly can’t put into words how incredible 24 Live Acoustic were at our wedding.

From the very beginning, Andrew and his partner Izzy were absolutely impeccable with their communication. They made everything so easy and were brilliant to work with throughout.

The band were unbelievable on the day. They kept the dance floor going all night, worked seamlessly with our sax player and DJ, and created such an incredible atmosphere. Andrew is an exceptionally talented singer and absolutely nailed our first dance, “All For Love” by Bryan Adams — a song that means so much to us and was very special to share on our wedding day.

And the kids absolutely loved him too! Playing Pokémon for them was such a brilliant touch — they danced the night away!

Also thank you Matt on percussions who did little Saxo bongo moment, also very talented and an added extra which made the atmosphere more enjoyable.

Our guest throughout the night and following have commented and how talented you are, and you can tell that you love what you are doing.

There really aren’t enough words to describe just how amazing 24 Live Acoustic were. They played such a huge part in making our wedding so special, and we’re incredibly grateful.

Thank you so much, Andrew and Izzy and Matt.

You were absolutely incredible! ❤️

Incredible Entertainer! 5 star 🌟

We booked Andrew through Hitched pretty much straight after we booked our wedding venue 2 years before we got married after seeing his videos on there and he was so friendly and helpful with all my questions (and there were a lot!) 😂. He was always keeping in touch throughout the planning process asking if there were any questions and checking how planning was going it was so nice and felt like he genuinely cared. Then came to the wedding he introduced himself as soon as he got there and felt like we were already good friends. He performed for our evening reception and each and every guest commented on how great he was and what brilliant music was played. Andrew really knows how to get the party started and is so friendly and can see how much he really loves his job and genuinely cares about his couples day to make sure it goes exactly how they want it. Thank you so so much! And I hope we meet again and get to hear you performed again in the near future 🥰

Outstanding from start to finish

Andrew was absolutely phenomenal. From our first meeting, he took the time to understand what we were looking for and he truly delivered.
We had the full day package and Andrew played our wedding ceremony and wedding reception playing beautiful relaxed tunes before been joined by Matt in the evening to create the party atmosphere.

Andrew is a true professional and was dedicated to making our wedding truly special. He also provided the PA for our wedding speeches and celebrant ceremony which was really convenient.

We would highly recommend 24 Acoustic to anyone interested. You will not be disappointed!

Andrew has been incredible from start to finish!! So responsive and communicative, so flexible so open to new ideas and we always felt he had us and our best interests at heart ahead of our wedding. On the day him and Matt were incredible, our guests have been talking about them ever since and we would hire them again in a hearbeat. HIRE THEM!! You will not regret it!!

Mr And Mrs Duffield 08.09.2026

Andrew, from the moment we got engaged I knew after seeing you at a previous wedding that we wanted you at our day, from the minute I stood outside the ceremony room waiting to come in hearing you singing I just knew we had made the right choice,

The whole day was absolutely electric exactly how we wanted it and the energy was incredible you had all our guests up even prior to desserts and then having the sax player join you who you hadn’t even crossed paths with before I was completely speechless,

From the constant checking in with us from you and Izzy, to accommodating anything we wanted and helping one of my bridesmaids sing during the ceremony, I would 1000% recommend you to anyone getting married and we cannot thankyou enough for everything,

Amy and Adam ❤️

Wedding Singer Review

Andy was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Throughout the build-up to our wedding he was always communicative, accommodating, and happy to work with us to ensure everything was exactly how we wanted it. His performance during the drinks arrival and drinks reception was amazing and created the perfect atmosphere for our guests, to which many of them said how good he was! We couldn't have been happier with his contribution to our special day and would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and professional singer. Thank you, Andy!

Wow ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After the most special day, we danced the night away with the 24 Live Acoustic duo! And what an amazing night it was! The dance floor was full and it was everything we could have ever wished for! Our guests loved the sets just as much as we did. Throughout the planning process, Andrew and Izzy have helped every step of the way! Thank you to Andrew and the team for making our day the best day of our lives!

Absolutely incredible 24 Live

We had Andy and Matt from 24 Live perform at our wedding on 22nd August 2026 and we honestly cannot recommend them highly enough!
From start to finish they were so professional, friendly, and made everything completely stress-free. The communication beforehand was excellent and they really listened to what we wanted.
The song choices were AMAZING. They nailed the perfect mix - beautiful, emotional songs for our ceremony / first dance, and then an incredible party setlist that had our dance floor full all night. Every single guest has commented on how good they were.
They completely made our day so special and brought such an amazing atmosphere and energy. So many people asked where we found them!
If you're thinking of booking them - do it! Thank you so much Andy & Matt for making our wedding day unforgettable.

You Made Our Night!

We couldn’t recommend 24 Live enough! Andrew was excellent in the run-up to our wedding and made everything so easy, we genuinely didn’t need to worry about a thing. They were absolutely brilliant on the day, and so many of our guests commented on how good they were. They really did make our night and created such an amazing atmosphere. They also made our first dance so memorable. Thank you so much!
