Billy Monroe

Billy Monroe is a live acoustic singer and guitarist based in the North East of England, bringing soulful, intimate and unforgettable performances to weddings, hotels and private events across the UK.

Before stepping into live performance, Billy spent over a decade 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 background informs every performance, bringing a depth and artistry to live genuinely rare wedding music.

Specialising in acoustic soul, pop and timeless classics, Billy performs two 45-minute sets with his own full professional PA system, meaning there is nothing for couples or venues to organise. From singing the bride or groom down the aisle to creating the perfect atmosphere during the drinks reception and evening celebration, Billy tailors every set to the mood and the moment.

Billy also offers an exclusive personalised song writing and recording service, a completely bespoke song written and recorded specifically for the couple, delivered to professional studio standard within three days.

Consistently five-star rated, Billy is known for being warm, professional and completely stress-free to work with on the day.

Music has always been the thing I keep coming back to, no matter what. I spent over a decade writing songs professionally, picking up a Brit Award nomination, an Oscar shortlist and over a billion streams along the way, but if I am honest, what I love most is the moment a song lands with someone in a room. That is what eventually pulled me into live performance.

There is something really special about performing at weddings and events that you just cannot replicate in a studio. The look on a bride's face as she walks down the aisle, the moment the whole room joins in during a drinks reception, the atmosphere that builds when the music is just right. Those moments are why I do this.

I genuinely care about every event I perform at. I take time to get to know each couple before the day, understand what matters to them and build something that feels personal rather than just another gig. On the day itself I just want everything to be effortless for you. I show up, set up quietly and get on with what I love doing.

I have been lucky enough to perform at some incredible venues across the UK, and every single one has reminded me why I made the switch from the studio to the stage. I would not change it for the world.

I have been involved in the music industry professionally for over fifteen years, though my journey into live performance has been anything but conventional. I started out as a songwriter, which took me to some incredible places. I picked up a Brit Award nomination and an Oscar shortlist along the way, and the songs I wrote accumulated over a billion streams worldwide.

But as proud as I am of those achievements, what really lights me up is performing live. I have now performed at hundreds of weddings, corporate events, hotel residencies and private parties across the North East, North Yorkshire and the Lake District, and every single one has taught me something new about how to read a room and make a moment feel special.

I am consistently five-star rated across every platform I perform through, and the reviews from couples mean more to me than any industry accolade. Knowing that I played a small part in making someone's wedding day unforgettable is genuinely the best feeling in the world.

My clients are typically couples planning weddings at country houses, boutique hotels and barn venues across the UK who want live music to make their day feel truly special. I also work regularly with hotels and restaurants looking for live music for dinner service or private hire events, and with companies hosting corporate dinners, award nights and Christmas parties. Whatever the occasion, my clients tend to be people who want their guests to have a great time and understand that live music makes all the difference.

I am a professionally trained live performer with over fifteen years of experience in the music industry. I hold full public liability insurance and bring my own professional PA system to every event, meaning venues and clients have complete peace of mind on the day.
