About
Hi, i'm George - thanks for viewing my profile!
I am a professional acoustic guitarist and vocalist with a wealth of experience in the live performance industry. From rock and pop classics to jazz and soul standards (and everything in between), I can provide your event with over 2 hours worth of high quality live acoustic music. My laid back, chilled out acoustic repertoire is the perfect finishing touch for weddings, functions and events. Have a look at my sample repertoire below to get a taster of what I can play for you!
I have a BMus Honours Degree in Popular Music Performance from the world-renown Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in London and have been performing live in bands, duos, trios and of course solo for over 15 years. You can catch me most of the time performing in my professional function band 'Happy Hour' on guitar and vocals, as well as teaching my wide range of guitar students in the Essex area.
I like to work with my clients to ensure their exact wishes are met, so requests in advance are always welcome (if they're not already on my vast repertoire, that is!). I have a neat, compact professional PA system as part of my high-quality live set up, ensuring I always sound good wherever I go.

CEREMONY
If you're looking for high-quality live performances of special songs during your wedding ceremony, look no further! I can take requests, learn and perform during all parts of the wedding ceremony - this includes guest entry, aisle walk, signing of register and guest exit.
Live music is wonderful addition to a marriage ceremony, giving you and your guests memories for a life time. Your wedding ceremony is one of the most important and special moments of your life, so why not enhance it with the personalised live performance of the songs closest to your heart?
DRINKS RECEPTION
Treat yourself and your guests to some relaxed acoustic renditions of your favourite songs, whilst you chat and enjoy your bubbles and canapes! The sound of live singing and acoustic guitar is the perfect addition to the celebratory atmosphere of a post-ceremony drinks reception. I can perform up to 2 hours worth of live music in the background and can perform inside and outside thanks to my professional PA set up. I always adapt my repertoire to whoever's in front of me, ensuring there's something for everyone to enjoy. Got a request? Let me know in advance and i'll play it! Got a request live on the spot?! Come and let me know, I bet I know it!

My gentle and relaxed arrangements of popular music songs can provide a unique touch for such a special part of the day. My professional set up is neat and compact, and can be adapted to suit all room sizes and shapes.

Reviews for George Wood - Singer/Acoustic Guitarist
10/10 Recommend!
What a voice!
George really made our day!
Thanks George!
Book George now! Brilliant addition to any wedding!
George stayed with us for the entire day, performing throughout the ceremony, the wedding breakfast, and even our first dance – for which he went above and beyond by learning a special song just for us. What a performance it was! His voice, presence, and talent brought so much warmth and atmosphere to the day – it was everything we hoped for and more.
In the lead-up, George took the time to hold a meeting with us to go over all the finer details, ensuring everything was just right. It was clear from that moment he had everything in hand and genuinely cared about making the day perfect for us.
He was happy to help at every turn, and nothing was too much trouble. We felt totally at ease knowing he was part of the day – a true professional and a genuinely lovely person.
Thank you, George, for making our wedding day so special. If you're considering booking him – do it. You won't be disappointed!
Wonderful George Wood!
Would give more than 5* if we could!
Made our wedding amazing!
Dance floor packed, everyone telling us how good the band are and we even got the chance to boogie away too! George did a special duet with my sister in law for our first dance too - all arranged with ease and no stress. It was hands down the best thing we did - would book again in a heartbeat.
