Guitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in Ohio starting from about $140 for a single instrumental set, typical bookings around $370 and singer-guitarists bringing their own PA reaching $1,150+. 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.

Ahsaas Chaudhary Live
"Ahsaas was absolutely fantastic! We hired him to perform for my father-in-law’s 80th birthday, and he sang beautifully for a little over two hours.
I had asked him to create a mix of older classic songs along with newer, well-known favorites that the senior generation would enjoy, and he completely understood the assignment. His song selection was perfect, his voice was beautiful, and he created such a warm, joyful, and nostalgic atmosphere for the celebration.
Our family and guests thoroughly enjoyed his performance, and he made an already special milestone birthday even more memorable. I would highly recommend Ahsaas for anyone looking for a talented singer for a family celebration or special event!"
