Photo of Amuse Manouche Amuse Manouche "Well what can we say!?……thank you from the bottom of our hearts for providing such a fantastic set. Despite the down pour (we’re saying it added to the day :) ) your playing and vocals were really special. You blew everyone away!" Based in Brighton, England (7 miles from Lewes) Nicola Elliott - Private Event Photo of Flash Mob Jazz Flash Mob Jazz "Great band, great music, perfect for our NYE party" Based in Brighton, England (7 miles from Lewes) Anantara hotel and spa resort (Dubai Palm) - NYE Party Photo of Will Loop Guitar Will Loop Guitar "Will very kindly agreed to play at what was a very auspicious and important occasion for me. His attention to planning the evening was first class and he absolutely read the room so well on the evening to play the right tunes, including my own favourites and many unexpected. The reaction from those there was so positive that I have invited him to play at another equally important event later this year. It goes without saying that his playing was exemplary too. He is a hugely talented individual. Thank you." Based in Tonbridge, England (25 miles from Lewes) Mark - Dinner Party at The Company of Entrepreneurs Photo of The Cocktail Hour Jazz Band The Cocktail Hour Jazz Band "Matt was so professional and easy to work with, the music was on point and created just the right atmosphere for our function. We will definitely be hiring Matt again in the future." Based in Shepperton, England (41 miles from Lewes) Jin Goh - Private Party Photo of Solo Instrumental Guitarist Solo Instrumental Guitarist "Peter was great at our event. Glad we booked a solo gig in the end. Everyone liked his set list, he was very professional and friendly. The sound was just right too so we could still hear each other and  catch up. Would definitely book Peter and his great guitar playing again." Based in Teddington, England (41 miles from Lewes) Vera Butler - Party Photo of Luminous Duo 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!" Based in London, England (44 miles from Lewes) 19th September 2026 Grace and Tom - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for jazz guitarists ranges from £110 to £1,000+, with an average of £340. Rates depend on the guitarist's experience, performance duration and whether the booking is for a solo performance, a duo or a larger ensemble. Jazz guitarists are a popular choice for background music at receptions, dinners and cocktail events.

The jazz guitarists for hire perform a range of jazz styles including swing, bossa nova, gypsy jazz, smooth jazz, bebop and jazz-funk. Many also cover popular songs and standards in a jazz style. The jazz guitar has a warm, mellow tone that suits both background and featured performances.

Common events for jazz guitarists include cocktail receptions, corporate dinners, wedding ceremonies, restaurant entertainment and private parties. A solo jazz guitarist provides sophisticated, unobtrusive live music that enhances the atmosphere without overpowering conversation.

Many jazz guitarists offer flexible formats including solo performances, duo or trio settings (often with double bass and drums), and as part of larger jazz ensembles. It is advisable to discuss the best format for your event and venue.

For intimate settings, many jazz guitarists can perform without amplification. For larger venues or events with background noise, a small amplifier is typically used. Most jazz guitarists bring their own equipment. For the best experience, confirm the setup based on the venue.

Sitting in with an existing line-up is normal work for jazz players, who are used to reading charts and following a standard repertoire with little rehearsal. Agreeing a set list, or at least a shared songbook, is what makes it work. Where the other musicians are booked separately, say so at the enquiry stage, as it changes what the guitarist prepares.

A solo player normally works in sets of around 45 minutes with short breaks between them, and unbroken playing across a long dinner is quoted differently. Whether the music has to be continuous is worth deciding early, since it changes both the fee and whether a second player is worth adding. Most will say how long they can comfortably play in one stretch if asked.

A single guitar suits rooms of up to around a hundred guests once amplified, beyond which the sound thins against the noise of a crowd. For larger events players usually suggest adding a second instrument rather than turning the volume up. Guest numbers and room size are what decide this, not the style of music being played.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
