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 mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in Switzerland starting from about CHF110 for a single instrumental set, typical bookings around CHF320 and singer-guitarists bringing their own PA reaching CHF950+. 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 is CHF320, with most priced from CHF110 to CHF950+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Kymotopia
"I was thrilled when Kymotopia agreed to play at our wedding, and they somehow exceeded all expectations.
Jean-Nöel and Joseph were incredibly accommodating from start to finish, happily taking on special requests, including learning specific pieces especially for us, and even helping out with a few extra things on the day. We asked them to perform some of these learned pieces at key moments during the ceremony and they absolutely nailed it. "A World of Waves" (their first album) is forever going to be a musical portal for me back to that special day.
These two are fantastic musicians and wonderful to work with. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough!"
Duo Vaires
"Duo Vaires was honored to provide live music for a special Kiwanis Club event. We designed an elegant program blending timeless classical pieces with refined jazz standards, creating a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere for the members and guests. It was a pleasure to collaborate with such a distinguished organization"
Marco Bartoli
"His music brought a truly charming atmosphere to our wedding reception. Tasteful, warm, and never overpowering, it felt perfectly in tune with the moment. A wonderful musician and a real pleasure to work with."

From start to finish, the vibes were incredible, Matt created the perfect atmosphere and making our wedding breakfast feel even more magical.

If you’re looking for a talented singer and guitarist who can create amazing vibes, deliver a truly incredible performance and make your wedding feel extra special then Matt is the one! He brought the perfect blend of talent, atmosphere and personal touches to our day.
Thank you so much Matt for being such a big part of our day"

Their choice of music was very appropriate for the various moments from slow to upbeat and from instrumental to lyrical accompaniement. Everyone loved the performance! They had every guest engaged with their music! I would have no hesitation in reccommending them for any occasion as they were so professional.
