Guitarists in North Wales

Wedding and event guitarists in North Wales

Live guitar fits almost any part of a wedding day. Across North Wales, guitarists play the ceremony, set a laid-back mood for the drinks reception and play through the meal, and singer-guitarists can carry on into a livelier set.

Whether your wedding is near Llandudno, Bangor and Wrexham or further afield, the guitarists here cover the whole of North Wales. Local venues include Bodysgallen Hall &amp, Plas Dinam and Portmeirion, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Other venues in the area include Plas Dinas Country House, Soughton Hall and Bodnant Welsh Food Centre, and each has its own venue page further down.

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.

Hireaband has booked wedding entertainment since 1999. Each guitarist on this page travels to North Wales as standard, and the instant quote button shows prices and availability for your date without waiting for a reply.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £250 to £900, depending on how long they perform and the date
  • Your quote shows exactly what's included
  • Ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast packages available from many acts
  • Most couples book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

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.

Expect to pay from around £250 up to £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. Busy Saturdays in summer and December sit at the top of the range, and your quote shows exactly what's included.

Each act's page carries real video and audio, a repertoire list and reviews from previous clients. Watching a couple of clips tells you far more than any description can, so it's worth listening before you choose.

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.

“I’d recommend Ian without hesitation. Not only is he a huge talent with a fine repertoire, he is a genuinely good guy who was friendly and communicative during the build-up to my wedding. On the day itself he went above and beyond what I’d expect from a performer by allowing my son (a beginner on guitar) to play along to one of his songs. Ian is a top talent and a top man.”

“Paul is such a lovely guy and he kept in touch frequently in the run-up to the wedding. Paul was happy to play songs we requested and not to play songs we asked him not to. He played the music we requested in between his usual set and guests commented on how good the music was. Paul also made announcements for the first dance etc. which was great. Overall we were delighted we had booked Paul and highly recommend him for your wedding.”

“We thought Ian Was amazing! All our guests said how brilliant his voice was and how much they enjoyed his take on classic songs. He was very easy to contact when we were planning everything and even agreed to sing a few songs in memory of my late Mum and Dad. We booked him immediately after hearing him on an agency web site! Thanks for being a part of our special day Ian.”

“Jesse was a complete professional and delivered our wedding songs beautifully. We asked Jesse to learn some songs that were personal to us and he didn't disappoint. He was honest and realistic with us to ensure that it met our expectations which was really appreciated as we all know how important it is to have that perfect wedding day. Lots of our guests commented on his performance and loved the music. Would highly recommend.”

“Thank you so much Dave! You made our day so unique with your music and it really was just what we were dreaming of for our reception and ceremony! We hope we can see you play again soon!”

“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”
