Gary Brown - Wedding & Event Guitarist

I’m Gary, an experienced singing guitarist based in Southampton, dedicated to creating beautiful live music that elevates every moment of your special day. I perform across the South Coast, offering both solo acoustic performances and the option to book me as part of my high-energy wedding band, The Pocket Rockers — a four-piece group specialising in rock and pop hits from the 1970s through to today. Music has a magical way of setting the tone for a wedding, and my aim is to make each performance as personal and memorable as the day itself. Whether it’s the emotional moment you walk down the aisle, the joyful buzz of guests mingling over champagne, or the relaxed elegance of your wedding breakfast, I tailor my playing to fit each part of your celebration perfectly. As a solo wedding guitarist, I bring an intimate and romantic atmosphere to your day. My repertoire is wide and versatile, blending timeless classics with modern favourites. From the delicate beauty of Ed Sheeran or John Legend for your ceremony, to acoustic renditions of favourites by The Beatles, Coldplay, or George Ezra for your drinks reception, I’ll work with you to create the perfect soundtrack. For couples who want to keep the music going into the evening, The Pocket Rockers are available to turn your wedding night into an unforgettable party. We’re a professional four-piece band — lead singer, guitarist, bassist, and drummer — delivering high-energy performances that get everyone dancing. With a setlist covering decades of iconic music, we know how to keep the dance floor full and the celebrations going. Many couples choose a combination of both — acoustic guitar during the day, then The Pocket Rockers in the evening for a full live music experience. Professionalism is at the heart of everything I do, whether I’m performing solo or with the band. I use high-quality sound equipment suitable for any size of venue, indoors or outdoors, and also provide a battery-powered setup for locations without mains electricity. This means your live music can happen anywhere — from gardens and courtyards to beaches and barns. With years of experience performing at weddings and events, I understand how important it is to be reliable, organised, and easy to work with. You can trust me (and The Pocket Rockers) to arrive in good time, be discreet during setup, and coordinate with your venue and other suppliers to ensure everything runs smoothly. Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and my goal is simple — to help make it unforgettable. Whether it’s the intimate sound of solo guitar during your ceremony or the electric energy of a full band in the evening, I’ll help create moments you, your family, and your guests will remember for years to come.
