Guitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in Waterford starting from about €120 for a single instrumental set, typical bookings around €330 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. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

"Christine sang a requested song for my wedding ceremony . I had asked her after seeing her contribute samples on social media.
It was heartfelt and added personal touches that reflected our story.
At short notice she also contributed to our day 2 event in a local oub and added great value to our special occassion.
We wanted something to add a variety to a strong trad flavour we had from a strong musical family.
Highly recommend Christine for an easy going , personap touch especially if your someone that likes to request sprcific song choices in a acoustic style with female vocals.

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"
