Wedding Ceremony Musicians in Athlone
Woodwind Musicians in AthloneSolo 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 Athlone mostly quote per set rather than per hour, starting from about €110 for a single instrumental set, with typical bookings around €310 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 Athlone, Leinster, Ireland is €310 (EUR). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

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! Best, Siobhan & Karl O'Connor x"
