Wedding Ceremony Musicians in ColchesterGuitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in Colchester 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.

Guy Watson
"I can’t say enough words to express my gratitude to you Guy. You were amazing , on time, entertaining and definitely an amazing musician. You covered all my song requests that were my dad’s favourite, and even my personal Papa don’t preach which bought happy tears to my eyes. Thank you for making my Dad’s wake a memorable day that will be remembered for years to come."
Lewis Ross Music
"Lewis was amazing!!
We had him at our little civil ceremony in Brighton and he was a true highlight of the ceremony. We listened to so many musicians during our search, and while many were undoubtedly talented, a lot of them seemed to put their interpretation ahead of the music itself. We were looking for someone who would let the songs shine, and that's exactly what he did, while having a beautiful voice himself. His voice is natural without sounding overdone or forced. His performances felt authentic, heartfelt, and true to the songs we already knew and loved. Rather than trying to reinvent them, he captured everything that made them special in the first place, which was exactly what we wanted for our wedding.
As well as his great voice, he was also incredibly responsive, helpful and accommodating. He followed the brief exactly, and we are truly grateful. We would have him again in a heartbeat and definitely recommend him to others."
