Guitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in London starting from about £100 for a single instrumental set, typical bookings around £250 and singer-guitarists bringing their own PA reaching £750+. 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.

Luminous Duo
"We booked the Duo for our wedding in Barcelona. Before the ceremony the Duo were incredibly helpful and flexible in helping finalise the set list for our welcome drinks and cocktail hour and the equipment they would require. We were also fortunate that the Duo learnt our first dance song, sending over a demo well before the ceremony so that we could check that we were comfortable dancing to it.
On the day, both Nadine and Lumai were brilliant. They were exactly the style of performer we were looking for, with their bossa-nova sound setting the perfect atmosphere for our guests on their arrival and during our cocktail hour. We’ll always remember that we were fortunate enough to have a live band perform our first dance - thank you so much for making this happen!"
Camix Nova
"Camix Nova was hired for this event to welcome guests with live music, and he did a tremendous job. Not only did he keep the crowd entertained and engaged throughout the event, but he also had guests dancing, singing along, and fully enjoying the atmosphere created by his live performance."
Eugene Moore
"Brilliant music for our 50th celebration, responsive on messages, prompt and flexible with our requirements- thank you!"
DaniElviS
"Hello DaniElviS was so fantastic for our wedding reception. He sang our favourite "Bridge Over Troubled Water" for our first dance and then performed 2 sets of really entertaining upbeat Elvis material that everyone loved. He really helped start off the evening with a bang and everyone enjoyed so much. We can't thank you enough!! Hope to see you again soon Lisa (10 / 10)

Zukira Duo
"Hi Abbie and Gavie,
I want to thank you both so much for being absolutely amazing at Ellie and Charlie’s wedding on Sunday. You played so beautifully and created such a wonderful atmosphere. It could not have been more perfect. When I heard you on Radio London, all that time ago, I knew that I wanted you to play at Ellie’s wedding. Well, how right I was. I can’t imagine anything better.
I’m only sorry that I didn’t get a chance to have a chat with you on the day. It’s remarkably hectic being mother-of-the-bride! I hope that you were well looked after and managed to get something to eat.
The rest of the wedding was equally wonderful and we are all still floating on air.
Many thanks again for making the wedding so special."
Alan Oliver Wedding Guitarist
"Alan played throughout the guests arrival, provided music throughout our ceremony and played throughout the drinks reception.
His music was amazing and so many guests commented on how his performance was just so in keeping with the venue and helped to set the tone for an amazing day!
I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for someone to have music at any occasion. His variety of songs is extremely broad and took the time to learn a specific style song for my wife’s entry! He sent us an audio file of what it was going to sound like so that was brilliant.
I was so impressed and thankful that Alan was the person we had chosen to provide the music for our special day!
Thank you so much for your kind diligence, and your amazing performance!
Many thanks
Henry and Laura"
