Last update: December 2024

Thomas J Wilman - Indie Folk Wedding Singer is a solo singer and guitarist offering beautiful, laid-back acoustic music for your big day that’s a little different to your average wedding singer. He is based in Brighton, East Sussex, but available to hire for events across the South East, the rest of the UK and beyond. Thomas performs a unique selection of indie, alternative rock and folk covers, but with more than enough pop and golden oldies to keep friends and relatives of all ages happy, all played in his own stripped-back indie folk style.

If you love Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver, and are also partial to a bit of indie, rock and alternative music, then Thomas's musical style is the perfect match for your big day. He plays soulful folk music at Ceremonies, Drinks Receptions and Wedding Breakfasts. His emotive voice and professional musicianship will no doubt elevate the atmosphere of your special day.

Services Offered

Whether you are planning an intimate micro wedding or a relaxed rustic affair outdoors, Thomas J Wilman can provide a stunning soundtrack to your milestone celebration. He blends a range of genres from indie and alternative rock tunes to pop and golden oldies for a rich and varied sound.

Thomas offers a number of music packages for your Ceremony, Drinks Reception and/or Wedding Breakfast that are all flexible to fit all your needs and wishes.

He also provides a highly bespoke service – as tailored to your tastes as you want it to be – and he will work with you to create the perfect soundtrack to your special day.
