Reviews of Classical Guitarists available in Kilkenny

5/5 from 281 reviews
Photo of Chris Wood Guitarist Chris Wood Guitarist "When we got engaged, we knew we would like to have a small, private ceremony with family and close friends. We contacted Chris to discuss how that might look and from the 1st call, we knew we were in good hands. Chris is so talented, modest, and efficient. There were big asks being put to him and he delivered on all fronts, to a degree that we could only have dreamed of. Chris brings so much to a ceremony by incorporating his own style of guitar playing into the requested songs. His good humour and easygoing reassurance are bonuses to having him involved in a ceremony. Thank you Chris for all you did for us in 2025 as we planned our wedding - we are eternally grateful!

Hiring classical guitarists is popular for wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, restaurant dining, corporate events, private parties and Spanish or Mediterranean-themed events. The gentle sound of a classical guitar is ideal for creating a relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere.

For small, intimate settings, many classical guitarists can perform without amplification. For larger venues, outdoor events or spaces with background noise, a small amplifier or PA system is usually needed. It is a good idea to discuss the venue with the guitarist to determine the best setup.
