Phil Smyth Music Full Description

Looking for wedding music that feels personal, stylish and genuinely memorable?

I'm Phil Smyth, a Devon-based wedding singer, guitarist and entertainer providing live music for ceremonies, drinks receptions and evening celebrations across Devon, Cornwall and the South West.

Whether it's an emotional aisle song, laid-back acoustic music during drinks, or a packed dancefloor later in the evening, my goal is always the same: create the perfect atmosphere for your day.

My performances combine live vocals, acoustic guitar and modern live-looping techniques to create a bigger sound than you'd expect from a solo performer, whilst keeping the warmth and personality of live music at the heart of everything I do.

Throughout the day I perform a mix of modern favourites, timeless classics and crowd-pleasing singalongs, tailored to suit the mood of your wedding and the people in the room.

Many couples book me for the entire day, from the ceremony right through to the evening celebrations. For larger parties, I can also provide live band options through New Heroes, creating a seamless transition from relaxed daytime entertainment to a high-energy evening party.

With hundreds of weddings performed across the South West, I understand how important it is to get every detail right. From our first conversation through to the final song of the night, you can relax knowing your wedding music is in safe hands.

If you're looking for live wedding music that's modern, professional and designed around your day, I'd love to hear about your plans.

Such a Pro
From the moment we began talking to Phil about the wedding he was such a pro. From helping us to choose the right playlist, to performing beautifully during the ceremony, overseeing the tech and logistical side , introducing the speeches and finally to helping Russ perform an amazing song as part of the groom’s speech Phil was a big part of making our day special for us and our guests. We can’t thank him enough.

So pleased
We were so pleased with our full day package that we chose with Phil. He knew exactly what he was doing and really made the day. He’s incredibly talented and we thank you so much for adding a special touch to our day. The band in the evening was out of this world and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Everyone has commented on how good the entertainment was...Thanks again!

Phil was absolutely incredible at our wedding,
Phil was absolutely incredible at our wedding, and made our evening reception an experience we'll never forget! One of the most important things to us was a packed dancefloor, which Phil and New Heroes made sure of. We had so many comments from guests saying how much they enjoyed the band - they were brilliant from start to finish. Aside from the music, Phil is incredibly professional and responsive. When our original wedding date(s) were delayed because of the pandemic, Phil was really supportive and accommodating for the new dates. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found him as a supplier - his professionalism meant it was one less thing for us to stress about. In short, we wouldn't have any hesitation recommending Phil and his band to anyone, for any gig or event.

He was perfect. So many compliments.
Phil played @ our wedding on 13/11/2021 Colehayes Park. We had a few hiccups on the day of the wedding and in the words of my husband, i felt i could relax once Phil arrived as he was able to reassure him registrars running late was normal and just because of his laid back calming demeanour. Phil played solo acoustic for the ceremony and welcome drinks. He then was joined by a drummer for the evening and rocked the night away. He was perfect. So many compliments. Its not easy finding suppliers when you live 200 miles away but we managed to hit the jackpot. Forever grateful for the part you played in our day. Thank you
