About

Billy Monroe is a live singer and acoustic musician based in the North East of England, bringing soulful, intimate and unforgettable performances to weddings across the North East, North Yorkshire and the Lake District.

What makes Billy truly unique is the story behind the performer. Before stepping onto the wedding circuit, Billy spent years as a professional songwriter, earning a Brit Award nomination, an Oscar shortlist, and accumulating over a billion streams across his catalogue. That world class musical pedigree informs every single performance, bringing a depth and artistry to live wedding music that is genuinely rare.

Billy specialises in acoustic soul, pop and timeless classics, performing two 45-minute sets with his own full PA system, meaning there is nothing for couples or venues to organise. From singing the bride or groom down the aisle to the warmth of the drinks reception and the energy of the evening celebration, Billy reads the room and tailors every moment to the mood.

Couples who book Billy consistently describe the same thing, that their guests couldn't stop talking about him. Whether it is the song that made the bride cry walking down the aisle, the moment the whole room joined in during the reception, or the atmosphere he created that made the evening feel truly magical, Billy has a gift for turning wedding music into memories.

Billy also offers an exclusive personalised song writing and recording service, a completely bespoke song written and recorded specifically for the couple, perfect as a first dance, a wedding gift or a surprise for the ceremony. Professional studio quality, delivered within three days.

Working with Billy is easy, warm and completely stress free. He takes pride in getting to know each couple before the day, understanding what matters to them and building a set that feels personal rather than generic. On the day itself, Billy arrives early, sets up quietly and gets on with what he does best, making your wedding sound incredible.
