Wedding Ceremony Musicians in Kent
Woodwind Musicians in KentSolo guitar works at almost every point of an event, from ceremony music and drinks receptions through to relaxed evening sets. Before requesting quotes, it helps to decide where live music sits in your day: quiet background playing during food, a featured moment such as a first dance, or both. That decision shapes the set list, the equipment a performer brings and the price you are quoted.
A typical booking covers two 45-minute sets or three 40-minute sets with breaks in between, though most performers will adjust timings to fit around speeches, courses and other entertainment. For drinks receptions, many guitarists play longer, lighter sets at background volume; for evening slots, expect shorter and more energetic performances. Agree the running order in advance and decide who will cue the performer on the day, so timing changes reach them quickly.
Indoor setups are simple: a chair, a small clear area and a nearby socket cover most performances. Outdoor ceremonies and garden parties need more thought. Ask whether the performer can bring a battery amplifier or play fully acoustic where there is no power, check noise policies and finish times with your venue before booking an amplified evening set, and make sure there is somewhere dry and shaded for both the performer and the instrument.
Guitar players in Kent mostly quote per set rather than per hour, starting from about £100 for a single instrumental set, with 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.
The average price for Guitarists available in Kent, England, United Kingdom is £260 (GBP). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Lewis Ross Music
"Lewis was amazing!!
We had him at our little civil ceremony in Brighton and he was a true highlight of the ceremony. We listened to so many musicians during our search, and while many were undoubtedly talented, a lot of them seemed to put their interpretation ahead of the music itself. We were looking for someone who would let the songs shine, and that's exactly what he did, while having a beautiful voice himself. His voice is natural without sounding overdone or forced. His performances felt authentic, heartfelt, and true to the songs we already knew and loved. Rather than trying to reinvent them, he captured everything that made them special in the first place, which was exactly what we wanted for our wedding.
As well as his great voice, he was also incredibly responsive, helpful and accommodating. He followed the brief exactly, and we are truly grateful. We would have him again in a heartbeat and definitely recommend him to others."
Rockbusta
"The feedback that I got from all who attended was the band was really entertaining and put on a brilliant evening"
Guy Watson
"I can’t say enough words to express my gratitude to you Guy. You were amazing , on time, entertaining and definitely an amazing musician. You covered all my song requests that were my dad’s favourite, and even my personal Papa don’t preach which bought happy tears to my eyes. Thank you for making my Dad’s wake a memorable day that will be remembered for years to come."
Will Loop Guitar
"Will very kindly agreed to play at what was a very auspicious and important occasion for me. His attention to planning the evening was first class and he absolutely read the room so well on the evening to play the right tunes, including my own favourites and many unexpected. The reaction from those there was so positive that I have invited him to play at another equally important event later this year. It goes without saying that his playing was exemplary too. He is a hugely talented individual. Thank you."
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!"
