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

JSG Music
"We asked James to play classical guitar for our wedding ceremony, and we’re really glad we did.
He was easy to work with from the start—communicative, reliable, and happy to accommodate what we were looking for. In the lead-up, he helped us think through the music choices without making it complicated, which we really appreciated.
On the day itself, his playing was beautiful and set exactly the right tone for the ceremony. It added something special without ever feeling over the top, and it fit naturally into the moment. A number of our guests mentioned how much they enjoyed it as well.
If you’re looking for a classical guitarist for a ceremony or similar event, I’d definitely recommend him. He’s talented, professional, and easy to work with."
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!"
