Wedding Ceremony Musicians in United States
Woodwind Musicians in United StatesSolo 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 mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in the United States starting from about $100 for a single instrumental set, typical bookings around $330 and singer-guitarists bringing their own PA reaching $1,000+. 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 is $330 (USD), with most priced from $100 to $1,000+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Flamenco & Latin Fusion: Music & Dance
"We had the BEST time thanks to this talented group of musicians! I mean, the food was great too, but by far they were the stars of the evening.
I cannot say enough good things about them, from the dancer's beautiful outfit, their punctuality, their enthusiasm, their professionalism. I sent them a song "wishlist" ahead of time, and nearly all of the songs were either sung or the original versions played during their break.
The singer was sensational, he also played the cajón (percussion), then there was the beautiful flamenco dancer who also did the "palmas" (hand clapping) and ended up dancing the Sevilllnas with a group of us (we had forgotten some of the steps, so she helped us, like a teacher!), and then of course the guitarist who was absolutely brilliant, too.
Our event would not have been as special without them. Although some of the songs they sang/played came from the wishlist, others came from the musicians themselves who, understanding their audience, came up with songs that surprised and delighted us.
I am actually trying to come up with a made-up celebration to have them come back to Lutz. Paying off a credit card maybe?
Anyway, this was an unforgetable party.
Thank you, Samuel, for putting it all together so brilliantly!"
Kevin Klimek & The Sideliners
"Kevin and The Sideliners were amazing! I would recommend them for your party or event 110%. Kevin was prompt in getting back to me with any question I had. If I have another get together in the future he will be the first one I call."
Nícolàs “El Rom”
"Absolutely fantastic. Right up there with performances we saw in Spain."
Solitary Harmonies by Doug Parsons
"Doug has provided music for annual event the past 2 years and will perform for our up coming event. He is a crowd favorite . You feel like you're listening to a full band. People sing along and dance."
Gal Drimmer
"We hired Gal Drimmer to play background guitar instrumentals at The Phoenician resort. The music was so perfect for our event! Everyone loved Gal's virtuosity on the guitar. His happy upbeat music was at a perfect volume that we could hear, enjoy and converse. Gal was there to set up early and was supper nice to everyone. We will be happy to hire Gal again next time we are in Arizona!"
