Acoustic musician playing the soundtrack for your wedding day.

Unique acoustic versions of YOUR favourite tunes on your wedding day.

Are you more Ezra Furman than George Ezra? More Yeah Yeah Yeahs than Wet Wet Wet? More ‘Friday I’m In Love’ than ‘Saturday Night’ (Di di na na na!)? More Bon Iver than Bon Jovi? More Edward Sharpe than James Blunt? More Big Thief than Clean Bandit? More ‘Pink Moon’ than Bruno Mars? More ‘Dancing In The Dark’ than ‘Dancing In The Moonlight’? More Fall Out Boy than Atomic Kitten? Actually, scratch that… Atomic Kitten rock! Do you never tire of “Into My Arms” but have heard more than enough of “when your legs don’t work like they used to before”? I think you get the idea…

Hi, I’m Thomas J Wilman but you can call me Tom - we’re all friends here! If you both love your music and are looking to fill your big day with unique acoustic versions of all your favourite indie, alternative, folk and rock songs, but still want enough classic pop and golden oldies to keep relatives of all ages happy, then I might just be the wedding singer for you!

From the sublime to the surreal, my indie-folk style will incorporate however you want your wedding day to sound.

Based in Brighton, Sussex, but available to hire for weddings across the South East and the rest of the UK, I have live music packages to cover all of your daytime wedding needs – Ceremony, Drinks Reception, Wedding Breakfast, Turnaround and First Dance – and am more than happy to slip into even the most untraditional / unconventional of wedding plans.

I have a sizeable and ever-growing repertoire packed full of songs I love, and I hope you do too! Spanning seven decades and covering a number of genres, the tunes are all sung and played in my distinctive indie-folk style on acoustic guitar and the occasional ukulele and harmonica. Think Nick Drake covering Pixies; Sufjan Stevens singing Blink 182.

Playing the songs you and your wedding guests want to hear!

This is YOUR wedding and you know what you and your guests are into. I’m not going to tell you “I know how to read a crowd” and then play the same old cliched tunes. I want the music I perform to echo your personalities and unique bond, so I offer a bespoke service to all my couples – as tailored to your tastes as you want it to be – and we will work together to create the perfect soundtrack to your special day. Also, I love learning new songs, so free off-repertoire requests are included as part of every one of my wedding packages.

Likes: cool weddings and venues, couples who are passionate about music and want their big day chock-full of the tunes they love from start to finish, surprise aisle songs, Bluey, The Magnetic Fields, End of the Road Festival.
Dislikes: Bing bunny, celery, Flying Ant Day!
