Guitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in Bournemouth starting from about £100 for a single instrumental set, typical bookings around £250 and singer-guitarists bringing their own PA reaching £850+. 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.

"Ben performed at a private festival even we held in the summer and everybody loved it . Great songs and was perfect for what we wanted"
ClusterFolk
"Clusterfolk played at my wedding last weekend and were absolutely amazing.
They were the perfect backdrop to my wedding reception and played a mix of instrumentals and vocals.
We received many compliments regarding the music and quality, and the guys are truly lovely and easy to work with.
We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again"
Oak & Brass
"Oak & Brass were fantastic and a brilliant surprise for a 60th Birthday party. They were really easy to communicate with beforehand and kindly learned some of the birthday girls favourite songs for the big day. We were up and dancing the minute they started and I don't think any of the party sat down from the moment they arrived. Everyone at the party was raving about the music the day after.... I would book again in an instant. Thanks Oak & Brass!"

We had lots of communication before re music choices . We couldn’t have asked for more . He helped take the day extra special ."
