Solo guitar works at almost every point of an event, from ceremony music and drinks receptions through to relaxed evening sets. Before requesting quotes, it helps to decide where live music sits in your day: quiet background playing during food, a featured moment such as a first dance, or both. That decision shapes the set list, the equipment a performer brings and the price you are quoted.
A typical booking covers two 45-minute sets or three 40-minute sets with breaks in between, though most performers will adjust timings to fit around speeches, courses and other entertainment. For drinks receptions, many guitarists play longer, lighter sets at background volume; for evening slots, expect shorter and more energetic performances. Agree the running order in advance and decide who will cue the performer on the day, so timing changes reach them quickly.
Indoor setups are simple: a chair, a small clear area and a nearby socket cover most performances. Outdoor ceremonies and garden parties need more thought. Ask whether the performer can bring a battery amplifier or play fully acoustic where there is no power, check noise policies and finish times with your venue before booking an amplified evening set, and make sure there is somewhere dry and shaded for both the performer and the instrument.
Guitar players in Germany mostly quote per set rather than per hour, starting from about €110 for a single instrumental set, with typical bookings around €350 and singer-guitarists bringing their own PA reaching €1,000+. 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.
The average price for Guitarists available in Germany is €350 (EUR). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Tim Scott Guitar
"Those of you Clerkenwell types who frequent the Slaughtered Lamb or
19:20 can not have failed to notice an new industry resident on Great Sutton
Street.
Desso's impressive carpet portfolio can now be viewed at the company's smart new showroom - and, naturally, the design community was invited along for a sneak preview, and much more.
Guests were treated to top live music and not just the superior Desso flooring products to whet their whistles.
We must congratulate all involved, as the evening attracted an impressive array of those specifying types, as well as the usual thursday night Clerken-crowd.
To use the Editor's favourite saying, it was smoother than n otter's pocket."
The Major B
"Looking for a soulful artist to play at your event? Look no further. From the very beginning I had a good feeling about Bryan and Bella and they did not disappoint. Bella sings beautifully and Bryan is a real genius when it comes to instruments. We had a song request to start our wedding ceremony that was a bit unusual and they turned it into sth exceptionally beautiful that immediately created a great atmosphere. They also were great at the reception and we had so many guests commenting about their great music. Thanks again, Bryan and Bella, we are so glad we found you! You made our wedding very special. ♥️ V& K"
Adar Alfandari
"Adar played in my wedding ceremony, and I couldn't ask for a better job.
We asked a specific song for our ceremony, 'I wanna be yours' by Arctic Monkeys, and Adar made a special version of it and even produced a stunning backing audio to go with his live performance in our event. It was very special and artistic and we got so many compliments."
Cameron Arndt Music
"Cameron is a fantastic live musician! He made my 40th birthday party truly special. Cameron plays nonstop, hit after hit, and has a good sense of what the audience wants.
He started with quiet background music, but later, he moved on to cool party music that got everyone singing along, dancing, and celebrating.
All of the guests (100+) were thrilled, and many asked for his contact information.
I'm looking forward to another event with Cameron and can highly recommend him!"
