How much does it cost to hire Guitarists in Crawley?

from£800GBP

Guitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in Crawley starting from about £100 for a single instrumental set, typical bookings around £260 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.

Photo of Crash Crash "We booked CRASH to perform at our wedding, Ash was very helpful, and the booking process was extremely simple and sensibly priced. Talented musicians playing great music made a great day even better." Based in Crawley, England 12th July 2026 oliver hassan - Weding Photo of The Opposition The Opposition "Mark and Phil have played twice at my garden party. They have delighted guests of all ages. They are not only very talented musicians but are lovely people who draw the audience in. No-one wanted them to finish! I cannot recommend them highly enough - accomplished, professional, punctual and charming!" Based in Crawley, England Mandy Claiden - Private Garden Party Photo of The Gentlemen- professional duo/band The Gentlemen- professional duo/band "Good Morning! Just wanted to say a massive thank you for Saturday! The boys were amazing and so interactive with us which really made our party! Apologies for some of our diabolical singing! When you’re behind the mic you think you are the best singer in the world! 🤣 Hopefully catch up with them again, absolutely brilliant ❤️" Based in Surrey, England (11 miles from Crawley) 6th August 2026 Vannie Davies - Party Photo of Tom Butterworth Tom Butterworth "We were lucky enough to have Tom playing for our outdoor wedding ceremony and drinks reception, he created a lovely ambience, and was a pleasure to deal with throughout the bookings process. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to add an extra special touch to a special occasion." Based in Burgess Hill, England (11 miles from Crawley) Lucy - Wedding Photo of Chris Harper Chris Harper "Chris Harper was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding day! From the very beginning, Chris was professional, friendly, and incredibly easy to work with. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted for each part of the day — from the ceremony to the drinks reception — and he absolutely delivered. His voice is stunning, and his guitar playing brought such a warm, emotional atmosphere to our ceremony. Guests kept asking us “Who is your singer? He’s amazing!” — and they weren’t wrong. We even picked one of his original songs "Eyes Off You" to walk down the aisle to. It was truly perfect. Chris’s setlist was spot on — a great mix of romantic, relaxed, and upbeat songs that suited the vibe of the day perfectly. He read the room beautifully and kept the energy flowing without ever being overbearing. We genuinely can’t recommend Chris highly enough — he helped make our day so memorable, and we feel lucky to have had him as part of it. If you’re looking for a wedding singer who’s talented, professional, and a joy to have around, book Chris to be part of your special day!" Based in Crowborough, England (15 miles from Crawley) Lauren and Joe Hall - Wedding Photo of John Lennon Live John Lennon Live "Had a great evening with John (you start believing it after a few) in Themes Ditton a few weeks ago, outstanding sounds like the real thing, if you like The Beatles music you will love him." Based in Esher, England (19 miles from Crawley) Kiron korask

Frequently asked questions

The average price for guitarists on Gig Heaven is £260, with rates ranging from £100 to £800+. Cost depends on performance duration, the guitarist's experience and whether the booking is for background music or a full live set. Guitarists on the platform cover a wide range of styles including classical, jazz, blues, rock, flamenco and pop.

The guitarists for hire cover a huge range of styles including classical, jazz, blues, flamenco, rock, pop, folk, fingerstyle and acoustic covers. Many guitarists are versatile performers who can switch between styles during an event to suit different moments.

Popular occasions for hiring guitarists include wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, corporate dinners, private parties, restaurant entertainment and ambient background music. A solo guitarist provides versatile, elegant live music that suits both intimate and larger settings.

Most guitarists are happy to learn specific songs for key moments such as a ceremony entrance or first dance. Many have extensive repertoires covering popular songs, classical pieces and jazz standards. It is advisable to discuss song requests with the guitarist well in advance.

Many guitarists on Gig Heaven play both electric and acoustic guitar and can choose the instrument that best suits the event. Acoustic guitar provides a warm, intimate sound for ceremonies and dining, while electric guitar is better for rock, blues and higher-energy performances.

For small, quiet settings, many guitarists can perform acoustically. For larger venues, outdoor events or noisier environments, a small amplifier or PA system is usually needed. Most guitarists bring their own amplification. For the best experience, discuss the venue size with the performer.

One player can usually cover the whole day, moving from processional and signing music during the ceremony to background playing over drinks and dinner. Timings are agreed in advance, since the ceremony music has fixed cues while the reception is more flexible. Where the ceremony and the reception are in different spaces, allow time to move and set up between them.

Most bookings run to two or three hours of playing time, split into sets with breaks, though the total time on site is longer once setup and soundcheck are added. Shorter ceremony-only bookings of around 40 minutes are common and are priced differently. Ask for playing time rather than hours on site, as the two are not the same.

Outdoor playing is common for ceremonies and garden receptions, and most players are happy to do it given shade and a level surface. Direct sun and damp both affect a wooden instrument, so a covered area is worth arranging even in settled weather. Wind carries sound away quickly, so amplification is usually needed outdoors even for a small number of guests.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
