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.

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)"
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."
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!"
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."
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!"
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!"
