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

Simon Davies
"An excellent guitarist who provided the perfect ambience for my event."
Flame Acoustic Duo
"We recently had the pleasure of enjoying a performance by Flame Acoustic Duo, and it truly elevated the entire evening. Their selection of songs was absolutely perfect — creating a warm, relaxing atmosphere that our diners thoroughly enjoyed. Ellie and Phil have such a natural chemistry on stage, and it shines through in every song they perform. The blend of Ellie’s beautiful, soulful voice with Phil’s smooth, expressive guitar playing is nothing short of stunning. We’ve already had so many compliments from guests, and we can’t wait to welcome them back!"
Nick Sanquest
"Nick played at our wedding, both during signing of registry and during drinks reception. He was great from the beginning with easy communication, turned up well on time and played amazingly. Thank you so much Nick to help make our day a little bit extra special!
Highly recommend!"
Steve Young UK

Billy Watman
"First class. Truly gifted and a wonderful entertainer. Will definitely use again - thank you."
Chris Flegg
"Chris is not only a highly accomplished musician, with fabulous guitar skills, he has a wonderful voice, and a great sense of fun.
So happy to have him perform
In our home, where he played a sang for 2 hours from an extensive list of songs old and new.
We also enjoyed some light hearted banter with Chris during the evening. It was sad when it all had to end.
No hesitation in recommending Chris for a personal or lively event."
