How much does it cost to hire Guitarists in Derbyshire?

£Low price
from£100GBP
££Average price

from£850GBP

Guitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in Derbyshire 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.

Photo of Matthew Turner Matthew Turner "If I could give Matt an 11 I would. Couldn't have asked for a better performer for our wedding reception. Matt thought of everything and even brought his indoor speakers incase it rained (thankfully it didnt!) Music was perfect and created a great atmosphere with thoughtful song choices, thanks again, cannot recommend enough! X (10 / 10)" Based in Wirksworth, England Lauren - Wedding Photo of Dale David Dale David "Dale was absolutely great! The residents really enjoyed the mix of music that Dale offered. He was interactive with the residents and we look forward to welcoming Dale back to our Care Home." Based in Derby, England 22nd June 2026 Jessica Patrick - Care Home Photo of Eden Acoustic Eden Acoustic "Eden played our wedding on the 27th September at very short notice due to changing restrictions.nothing was too much hassle for her and on the night the music was perfect, she even performed our first dance song instead of the actual music because we loved her voice so much. She has a great voice that created a great atmosphere 100 percent recommend!" Based in Sandbach, England James Cobern - Wedding Photo of Adam Wallace Classical/Pop Guitarist Adam Wallace Classical/Pop Guitarist "Adam was a delight to work with in the runup to our wedding (very responsive and friendly in all contact we had and listened carefully to all our thoughts and requests for the day) and then on the day was professional and played wonderfully for our guests who all commented on how nice the music was. Can't recommend Adam enough for your event." Based in Newark on Trent, England Jo McCreery - Private Weddings Photo of Tim Pavitt Tim Pavitt "Tim Pavitt is a perfect choice for any venue or event. He is a musician of wide range and repertoire. He has a gorgeous voice as well as being a virtuoso guitarist. I have invited him to several events of my own, and been to many occasions where he has played. The audiences love his sound and style, whether blues, folk or country, or anything he likes from musicals and other genres. He is an unassuming, amusing presence on stage so he can be a gentle background or solo concert performer in his own right. He fits the bill as needed. A great and very likeable talent!" Based in Huddersfield, England Mary Walker - Private Event Photo of Roger Gamon Guitarist - classical/jazz/pop Roger Gamon Guitarist - classical/jazz/pop "Roger was brilliant from when I first made contact right through to the day itself. He played beautifully and made such a huge difference to our wedding celebrations. Everyone was blown away by his professionalism, skill, and kindness. A truly outstanding performer, thank you!" Based in Manchester, England 23rd September 2026 Laura S - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average price for guitarists on Gig Heaven is £250, with rates ranging from £100 to £850+. 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.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

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.
