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.

Jack & Chloé xxxx

The Katies Wedding

Andrew was great on the day and as we booked the whole day package we had the bonus of the band in the night. They were brilliant and all guests commented how good they were! Communication before the day was easy and we were so happy we had booked them. Thanks again for a lovely day!

Absolutely Amazing 🤍

The best wedding singer from start to finish! Not only was his performance incredible (so many of our guests commented on how amazing he was), but Andrew was also fantastic throughout the wedding planning process, answering any questions, requests very quickly. Just amazing!
We would recommend to anyone looking for a wedding singer🤍
Thank you so much again!

Amazing soundtrack to our wedding!

We did a lot of research before choosing Andrew for our wedding. Every video we saw of him performing was spot on and we liked his broad repertoire of songs. We hired Andrew for our whole day and evening and we were not disappointed!
Andrew has an amazing voice and is so talented! He learnt 3 songs for us and everything was incredible. Our guests commented on how brilliant he was and everything flowed perfectly. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Andrew! Wish we could do it all again.

The Soundtrack of our Wedding Day

To encapsulate the magic that Andrew creates for a wedding day is hard to put into words but it all starts with his warmth and kindness that radiates into his music. Andrew is with you every step of the way when it comes to the initial consultation; to regular check ins via email and all the way to your final meeting on Zoom.
We had Andrew perform our wedding ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception and we truly believe he puts his heart and soul into it. The bespoke songs he learnt for our wedding (even a football one) as well including dedications for absent friends and family really were those special touches we appreciated at our wedding.
If you want the best wedding experience you need Andrew and 24Live as he and his team are ‘Simply the Best!’

First person we booked!

Andrew was one of the first people we booked, we knew our venue, celebrant and singer and booked way in advance to tie the three together.
Andrew was in touch more than any other supplier we dealt with, he had little check ins leading up to the date, nothing was ever too much trouble, he was always so polite and kind. His song list had more than enough choice, he learnt a song for our ceremony, led a guest singalong and managed to put a voice memo of our daughter announcing our arrival to everyone/husband to be!
We booked him and Matt for most the day, our guests loved them.
Would encourage anyone I knew getting married to book him so we could enjoy his music again!
Thanks so much guys

Absolutely incredible!!

Having 24 Live Acoustic performing on our wedding day was without doubt one of the highlights. Andrew had people up dancing during the wedding breakfast, which set the tone perfectly for the rest of the day. He was joined by his colleague Matt for the evening set and the energy that the two of them brought to the room was amazing. Even now, three months later, guests are still commenting on how brilliant they were.
In the lead-up to the big day Andrew was incredibly helpful, friendly, and accommodating, making everything completely stress-free. On the night, he even took some last-minute requests, which turned out to be a fantastic addition and made the evening feel even more special.
Andrew and Matt are a hugely talented duo and an absolute must-have for your wedding – we honestly couldn’t have wished for better! Highly recommend!

Everyone Loved You!!

I do not have enough words to express how amazing Andrew was at our wedding. Even now, 4 months later, he is still the number one thing which our guests still talk about.

We are so grateful for the amount of energy and joy he brought to our day. We booked the “Ultimate Full Day Solo Package” which meant that Andrew performed from the beginning of our ceremony, right through to a final set in the evening, which had all our guests up on the dance floor. Andrew was perfect for the full day - an incredibly talented musician who created the best atmosphere in every room he performed.

In the run up the wedding, Andrew was exceptionally professional and checked in with us regularly. We felt very well looked after and we knew our wedding was in safe hands.

If you book Live-24 for your wedding, you will not regret it. It may just be the best part of your day!

Thank you Andrew for everything!

Absolutely amazing ✨🖤

Andrew was so helpful from the moment we first messaged to book him at our wedding. He always responded very quickly and informative. On our wedding day he was very friendly and professional. He has amazing talent and our day wouldn’t have been the same without him there! One of our best decisions was booking Andrew to sing at our wedding. We absolutely loved having him there and so did all our guests. Thank you so much Andrew you’re amazing!! Xxxx

Nat and Beth's wedding

The second we saw some of Andrews videos and song choices we knew he was the one we wanted for our big day. From the the very beginning Andrew was always on hand to answer questions we had and quick to do.
Then the second we heard him for ourselves on the day he exceeded all of our expectations. We gave a few song choices but was happy for Andrew to pick his own for the drinks reception and he definitely brought the vibe with all the right songs. All our guests had nothing but kind words and praise for how amazing he was on day. Andrew was worth every penny we paid and our only regret would be we didn't have him for longer. If you think Andrew has an amazing voice in videos you'll be blown away hearing him in person. He was the ultimate professional and very interactive with our guests on the day. We would 100% recommend his service to make your day extra special

Made our Wedding! 🥰

From first booking, right to performing their final song, 24-Live were nothing short of outstanding. Andrew kept in touch throughout the whole planning process making us feel at ease and fully up to date with everything we needed to know. On the zoom catch up, Andrew was warm and welcoming which only made us more excited to have the band as part of our day. 24-Live performed at our evening reception and were the highlight of our day both for us and our guests. They played an incredible set list of all our favourites and interacted with our guests so well keeping everyone involved and on the dance floor! Everyone commented how much they enjoyed the music and definitely didn't want it to end!
If you are looking for a band that will keep your day flowing, play incredible live music with epic musicianship and go above and beyond to make your day special, look no further. Thank you so much, Mr & Mrs Johnson.

Absolutely amazing!!

From first contact, Andrew was amazing. Professional and friendly, he made me and my wife feel like we’d known him for years, and like he was a guest rather than a vendor. He was always quick to respond to our messages, and it never seemed like we whether bothering him with questions or requests. I’d 100% recommend Andrew to anyone 👍👍

Key factor in our amazing day!

Andrew was a key part in making our day incredible. He was really supportive throughout the build-up to and process of curating our day. He absolutely smashed the whole day and all of our guests were incredibly impressed.

We booked Andrew for the full day with Matthew joining the evening sets. They read the room perfectly and got the vibe right with the songs choices throughout the day, everyone was up dancing for all of their sets during the evening.

Andrew is really funny and caring and great to get along with. He was really understanding and accommodating of our requests, even ensuring that the aisle song was a secret from the groom.

Beyond Incredible. Andrew and Matt are Who you need.

Andrew and Matt from 24 Acoustic absolutely made our wedding. From the moment we first contacted them, they were incredibly responsive, flexible and just brought the best vibes from the very beginning.

They played everything. We had iconic classics, pop punk bangers and even the Pokémon theme tune on request. We originally asked for the final five songs of the wedding breakfast set to be a bit more upbeat, with family favourites like Jamie Webster and James, to get everyone up and dancing. But it turns out we didn’t need to worry about that at all, because they had the whole room on their feet by the time the starters had been cleared away. It was one of those magical moments where the plan went out the window in the best possible way.

I never thought I would be stood up during my meal singing Zombie by The Cranberries and Belter by Gerry Cinnamon, but I honestly couldn’t imagine it any other way. The atmosphere was unreal.

They know exactly how to read a room and keep the energy flowing. Our guests loved them. We loved them. We are already planning to book them for a birthday event next year.

I even made a last minute change to the tempo of our first dance song and they handled it with complete ease. No stress at all.

For the price, the experience absolutely blew our minds. If you want your wedding to be fun, entertainment-packed and a party everyone will remember, then do not look anywhere else.

Not only the best wedding entertainment we have ever seen. They are now a duo we will be going to watch monthly in Sheffield.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
