What is a Folk Wedding Band?
A folk wedding band brings the warmth, energy, and storytelling of folk music to your celebration, combining acoustic instruments with modern hits for an unforgettable atmosphere.
If you're looking for a folk wedding band that captures the spirit of artists like Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, and Of Monsters and Men, Kinmara is the perfect fit. We are a modern folk wedding band that blends stomping indie-folk anthems with heartfelt acoustic ballads, creating the ideal soundtrack for your big day.
What sets us apart from other wedding bands is our authentic folk instrumentation. With violin (fiddle), acoustic guitar, cajon, and rich vocal harmonies, we deliver the genuine folk sound that couples are searching for. Whether you want the foot-stomping energy of a barn dance or the intimate beauty of an acoustic ceremony, our folk wedding band has you covered.
As a rustic folk wedding band, we're equally at home in a converted barn in the Cotswolds, a tipi in a Sussex field, or a marquee in a Scottish glen. Our acoustic-driven sound naturally complements the raw, organic atmosphere of rustic and outdoor wedding settings.

Mumford & Sons Wedding Band

From the driving energy of I Will Wait to the raw emotion of Little Lion Man, we capture the essence of Mumford & Sons with our live instrumentation.
Our lineup of acoustic guitar, violin/fiddle, and powerful group vocals means we don't just cover Mumford & Sons songs, we inhabit them. The result is an authentic, high-energy performance that gets your guests on their feet and creates those unforgettable wedding moments.
Beyond Mumford & Sons, our modern folk wedding band repertoire spans the best of contemporary folk and indie, including The Lumineers, Ben Howard, Hozier, George Ezra, Vance Joy, and many more.

Violin Folk Wedding Band
Add a violin to your folk wedding entertainment for a sound that's deeply emotive, beautifully textured, and utterly captivating.
The violin is the soul of folk music, and our violin folk wedding band option brings an extraordinary dimension to your wedding. Whether weaving delicate melodies during your ceremony or driving energetic fiddle lines during the evening party, our violinist transforms every performance.
Our violin can be added to any of our packages. Book our Acoustic Quartet for a stunning daytime performance featuring violin, guitar, cajon, and vocals, perfect for your ceremony or drinks reception. Or add the violin to our full evening band for a complete folk wedding band with violin experience.
The violin is particularly stunning for first dances, bringing an emotional depth that guitars alone cannot achieve. Imagine walking down the aisle or sharing your first dance with a live fiddle playing a folk arrangement of your chosen song.

Our acoustic-driven folk sound fills barn spaces beautifully, with natural resonance that suits exposed beams, fairy lights, and rustic decor. We bring compact, professional PA systems that deliver full sound without overwhelming intimate barn settings.
Festival-style tipi weddings and marquee celebrations are our natural habitat. Our rustic folk wedding band vibe pairs perfectly with the relaxed, bohemian atmosphere. We can even offer roaming folk performances between tipis.
