Guitarists in Cardiff

Wedding and event guitarists in Cardiff

A solo guitarist is a relaxed, flexible choice for the daytime part of a wedding. In Cardiff, guitarists are booked for ceremonies, drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts and parties, playing anything from classical and Spanish guitar to acoustic versions of modern songs.

Across Cardiff, guitarists are booked for weddings and events in and around Cardiff, Penarth and Barry. Venues in the area include Hensol Castle, Cardiff Castle and National Museum Cardiff, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Coed-y-Mwstwr, Llanerch Vineyard and De Courceys Manor, with details of each.

The guitar is one of the most versatile instruments for a wedding. Classical and Spanish styles suit a ceremony, fingerstyle arrangements set a relaxed tone for the drinks reception, and a singer-guitarist can lead a sing-along later on.

We've been booking wedding entertainment since 1999, and every guitarist on this page covers Cardiff. You can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

The essentials:

  • Prices usually from £250 up to £900
  • Many acts can cover more than one part of the day in a single booking
  • Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to enquire early
  • The quote you receive sets out exactly what's included
  • 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking

Classical and Spanish guitar gives a traditional, elegant sound for a ceremony. Acoustic fingerstyle suits a relaxed drinks reception on the lawn. For a party, look for a singer-guitarist with an upbeat set list and a PA to suit the room.

Most guitarist bookings fall between £250 and £900. A ceremony-only booking sits at the lower end, while a guitarist covering the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast, or a singer-guitarist playing into the evening, sits towards the upper end. The date and time of year make up the rest of the difference, so a weekday or winter date can cost less than a summer Saturday.

Every act's page has video and audio of the performer you would actually book, along with their repertoire and written reviews from couples who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the sound before you commit.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the wedding. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

“We booked Marcus for our wedding reception at the beginning of August. I would thoroughly recommend him for any similar events. Communication prior was prompt & courteous, insurances etc provided for the venue without any hassle. Most importantly on the day itself he was professional, and all of the guests very much enjoyed his performances. Thank you Marcus for your involvement in our special day”

“Before the event Dave did everything possible to work with us and make sure that it all went without a hitch, which was much appreciated. He and the rest of his group were friendly and professional throughout, and our guests loved seeing the joy they so clearly get from what they do. We hadn’t tried jazz at our hotel before, but it went down really well and we received lots of great feedback.”

“Declan was a breath of fresh air- not only was he professional but put us both at ease knowing that the music was in the best hands. We received loads of compliments about the ceremony and drinks reception music Declan played. He chatted away to some of our guests before he headed off which was lovely. Would recommend Declan 100% to anyone and only wish we had another event to book him for!”

“Filippo was relaxed, gracious, fun, and above all, sounded great. We have had so many friends and family come up to us (still - nearly six months later!) and say how great the music was!”

“Hi. We would like to record our appreciation to Declan Daniel for the music he played at our wedding reception last Saturday. Many of the guests commented on the quality of his playing and there is no doubt that Declan's music added a very special ingredient to our special day. Please pass on our thanks and best wishes for his musical career. Many thanks also for a very efficient service. Best wishes”
