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

I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to add an extra special touch to a special occasion."

The Opposition
"Mark and Phil have played twice at my garden party.
They have delighted guests of all ages. They are not only very talented musicians but are lovely people who draw the audience in. No-one wanted them to finish!
I cannot recommend them highly enough - accomplished, professional, punctual and charming!"
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!"
Jonny Lewis Ents
"Jonny opened our village music festival in June and certainly got the party started! His charm and charisma come through every song.
He is a delightful performer and we will certainly book him again.
Thank you Jonny Lewis - you are a star!"
