Guitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in Bolton starting from about £100 for a single instrumental set, typical bookings around £250 and singer-guitarists bringing their own PA reaching £800+. 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 Distance
"Soph & Matt played for our wedding in September and were absolutely fantastic! Not only did they include songs we had requested for the playlist but knew how to play perfectly for the crowd. All guests loved them, from our 5 year old cousins and friends in their twenties to parents and my 80 year old nan-in-law. The dance floor was never empty - I can testify that all dancers never stopped moving. I want to thank Soph & Matt for making our wedding reception, it was truly amazing and guests are still talking about them nearly 5 months on. An awesome wedding band!"
Roger Gamon Guitarist - classical/jazz/pop

Graham Anthony Cooper
"Ross wrote: We booked Graham for our NYE party and really couldnt have asked for a better night. The perfect mix of songs, a full dancefloor all night and a really interactive performance. Graham is super friendly and professional, nothing was too much for him on the night. Our guests had nothing but good things to say about him and we will be booking him for future parties and special events."
