The average price is €350 (EUR). Guitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in Cologne starting from about €110 for a single instrumental set, typical bookings around €350 and singer-guitarists bringing their own PA reaching €1,050+. 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.

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"
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!"

Dominique
"Dominique proves that one person is more than enough
Some artists need a whole band to make an impact, but Dominique proves that one person can be enough to fill our event with energy, emotion and pure musical power. During his show he showed why music is sometimes the most impressive.
With his voice, guitar and installation, Dominique managed to create a sound that felt like there was a whole band on stage. Every note and chord was delivered with such precision and feeling that the audience was captivated from start to finish. His voice? Raw emotion and technical perfection in one. From intimate ballads to powerful uptempo songs, the versatility was impressive.
What made this performance extra special was the interaction with the audience. Dominique managed to make a real connection, with personal stories between the songs and an energy that captivated you as a listener. You felt the passion and craftsmanship in every performance.
With influences from pop rock music, but with a unique twist of his own, Dominique has proven that he is a name to keep an eye on. Whether you like profound lyrics, virtuoso playing or simply music that goes straight to the heart—this is an artist you must experience live.
A musical journey you don't want to miss."
Ekaterina Uvarova - Classical Guitar
"Ekaterina was an amazing part of our recent networking lunch. The music chosen was perfect to create the atmosphere and it was a lovely accompaniment to the event. We hope to work with Ekaterina again at the next edition!"
Jalo & Sounds (solo duo trio etc)
"I was just walking around the city and heard a nice music, and then entered the event just to enjoy it. I stayed till the end. These guys made me feel great with their live performance of nice music. They are authentic, friendly, positive and give such a great vibe with their live play. Thank you for the nice evening! Hopefully see you again"
