Guitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in Kitchener starting from about $170 for a single instrumental set, typical bookings around $500 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.

"We love having Chris out to Bad Apple. He is a great guy to work with and a great musician! He is good at reading the crowd and taking requests from a variety of genres (even Britney on occasion ?)!"
Gary Taylor Guitar
"Gary was such a wonderful musical addition to our event! He arrived on time with his own gear and was very attentive to our schedule and expectations. When there was a lull he took initiative and did some additional songs and kept the vibe going.
As a musician his performance was great. Both instrumentally and vocally very talented. We asked him to engage with the crowd, he didn't hesitate and his interactions came naturally. He even collaborated and improvised with other performers! He was extremely friendly and polite with us and our guests.
Thank you Gary for your special contribution to our night!"
