Guitarists in Durham
Hire a guitarist in Durham
A solo guitarist is a relaxed, flexible choice for the daytime part of a wedding. In Durham, guitarists are booked for ceremonies, drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts and parties, playing anything from classical and Spanish guitar to acoustic versions of modern songs.
Durham has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Durham Castle and Hardwick Hall Hotel to Black Horse Beamish. Our guitarists travel to towns across the area, including Durham, Darlington and Bishop Auckland, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Lumley Castle, South Causey Inn and Bradbury Glade are among the other Durham venues listed further down, each with its own page.
A solo guitarist needs very little space and can move easily from the ceremony to the drinks reception, which makes the guitar a practical choice as well as a beautiful one.
We've been booking wedding entertainment since 1999, and every guitarist on this page covers Durham. 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
An instrumental guitarist suits a ceremony or a drinks reception where the music should stay in the background. A singer-guitarist adds vocals, which works well for the aisle, a first dance or a party set where guests want to sing along.
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.
Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the performer you would be booking, with videos, audio, a repertoire list and reviews. Between them you can get a clear sense of the act well before the day.
Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.
