Wedding Ceremony Musicians in United Kingdom
Woodwind Musicians in United KingdomSolo 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 United Kingdom mostly quote per set rather than per hour, starting from about £100 for a single instrumental set, with typical bookings around £250 and singer-guitarists bringing their own PA reaching £700+. 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 United Kingdom is £250 (GBP). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Oscar Lyons
"We hired Oscar for our wedding in the south of France this summer and he provided such a wonderful atmosphere with his beautifully moving voice. It really made such a difference to the vibe of our special day. He was very responsive in communication, highly professional and friendly throughout. Very much recommended. I can see his music working well in so many settings! Thanks again"

Franck le Chanteur
"I booked Franck recently for a launch day for a pharmacy I work in. From start to finish, he couldn't have been easier to deal with.
On the day, we were blown away! He was simply amazing. Crooning covers interspersed with some French music. The perfect mix. So many of our customers were asking - who is this guy?! They were loving him. We asked him to stay on and play for an extra 2 hours. Not a problem, he agreed immediately. I would definitely recommend Franck to anyone thinking of booking him."
