Woodwind Musicians in Washington D.C.Guitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in Washington D.C. starting from about $140 for a single instrumental set, typical bookings around $380 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.

Cold Weather Company
"I can't say enough wonderful things about Cold Weather Company! Steve was my primary contact and he responded to every email promptly. He answered yes to all requests. The band arrived on time and agreed to stay for a late night acoustic set. They were consummate professionals. The music is why we chose the band, and it was amazing & beautiful to hear live. They were the perfect blend of background music that you really want to stop your conversation to listen to, however their cover of Let It Be was so moving, it silenced the room. We could not have chosen better for our fundraiser, all 150 guests were entertained! We are still hearing rave reviews."
Juan Pedro Jimenez
"Juan Pedro and his group did a magnificent job, they have a lot of talent. They gave us a very fun time. I definitely recommend them!"
The Bobby Guitar Rock & Roll Review
"We were fortunate to book them for a few parties and they never disappoint! Great music, great read of the crowd and great event. WAs definitely one of the highlights from the party. Look forward to booking them again and recommend them more highly!"
Brice
"Brice played guitar before and during our wedding ceremony. Despite reaching out to him with very short notice, he was more than happy to play some of our favorite songs. He was professional, responsive, and very talented—multiple guests commented on what a beautiful job he did! Brice’s music made our ceremony extra special, and we’re so glad that he was a part of our wedding day."
John Anthony Ferrer
"I have hired John Anthony Ferrer to entertain my sorority reunion guests at the Bean Runner Cafe. Is amazing guitar playing as well as classic songs and popular pop tunes. John's hand the guitar really comes alive as well as the songs he plays. John is a real Rock Star, playing tunes from the Jazz era and then switching to the Pop songs of the last few decades. Then playing Blues before going into some romantic Bossa Nova. I also hired him to host and play guitar for 2022 New York Miss Teen pageant contestants. It wasn't long before he had the beautiful young ladies dancing and singing to the songs he played. A highlight to their busy schedule. To sum it up, John Anthony Ferrer's guitar wizardry will amaze you."
