Guitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in Alberta starting from about $170 for a single instrumental set, typical bookings around $550 and singer-guitarists bringing their own PA reaching $1,600+. Longer performances, weekend and peak-season dates, and sets that include vocals all push quotes up. When comparing quotes, check what each includes: amplification, travel and time to learn requested songs are sometimes itemised separately. Booking ceremony and reception music with the same performer often costs less than hiring two separate acts. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Mark Hildebrand
"It was treat to see Mark perform at the Sumner festival I attended. He is clearly dedicated to his craft and his hard work shows through in his skill. His guitar playing in particular is second to none. I also thoroughly enjoyed his honest and inclusive approach to other performers. His great talent and lack of ego are utterly refreshing."
Jennifer Moersch, Cellist & Ensembles
"Jennifer was great! Extremely patient with me and the last minute changes, came on time, played beautifully and left a great impression on all the attendees. I will definitely recommend her if anyone ever needs a cellist in Vancouver."
