Guitarists in the South West

Guitarists covering the whole of the South West

Whether you're planning a wedding or event in a city-centre hotel or a country house miles from anywhere, guitarists in the South West cover the whole region. This page brings together acts that play everywhere from Salisbury, Plymouth, Truro, Harbourside, Gloucester and Bournemouth, so you can compare them side by side.

This region page covers Bristol, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire. If you already know which area your venue is in, the links below take you to the page for that area, with venues and acts picked for it.

Popular venues across the region include Barford Park Barn, Rockbeare Manor, Launcells Barton, Barley Wood House, Kingscote Barn and Hope Farm. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we can usually say which acts have played there before.

Not every guitarist does the same job. Within this category you'll find classical, Spanish, jazz and acoustic pop guitarists, and knowing the feel you want for your wedding or event makes the choice much easier.

We've been booking guitarists since 1999, and every act on this page travels across the South West. Travel and any amplification are built into the quote, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

What to know:

  • Budget £250 to £900 for most bookings
  • Every quote includes travel and any amplification
  • Travel within the South West is never added on later
  • Many acts offer longer or extra sets if you need them
  • Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Some venues have sound limiters, early finishes or restrictions on where acts can set up. Check these early, as they can decide which line-up is the better fit for your wedding or event.

Most bookings fall between £250 and £900. The size of the line-up is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long the act plays. Travel and any amplification are included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay, wherever you are in the South West.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio and a song list. Underneath are reviews from clients, often at venues you'll recognise.

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 event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

FAQs

Usually the ceremony music, then background music during the drinks reception and wedding breakfast. Styles range from classical and Spanish guitar to acoustic versions of pop songs.

Some can. Singer-guitarists add vocals for the aisle, a first dance or a party set, and each act's page makes clear which they offer.

Yes, as long as there's shelter nearby and power if they're amplified. Tell us your venue in the South West when you enquire.

Very little: a chair, a small area to set up and a power socket if they use a small PA.

Typically £250 to £900, depending on how long they play and the date. Your quote shows exactly what's included.

Most can, given enough notice. Mention it when you enquire.

Reviews

“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.”

“Filippo was just brilliant! Lovely guy, great musician and loads of people commented on how good he was. He created a lovely atmosphere at our wedding. Thanks so much we would highly recommend him!”

“The duo were fantastic both in their music and in their attitude towards making the event a success! They accommodated some last minute changes to the schedule without hesitation and also accompanied some 'Karaoke' style entertainment from our MD. I would definitely use them again and recommend to others. Many thanks!”

“Marcus really made our perfect day complete, he sang and played guitar doing three sets throughout the day, and did an outstanding job. All of our guests have commented on how good he was and how it made the day that bit more special. We would highly recommend Marcus to anyone, nothing was too much trouble for him, he even learnt a new song for us. Thank you once again from Ash & Cobie”

“Jessie was amazing from the minute we first spoke to him, so chilled and made everything stress free which is exactly what we wanted. He has the most incredible voice and his performance of our first dance was honestly unreal, we actually preferred it to the original! Even with only 30 guests at the wedding party, he still managed to fill the dance floor with the DJ set later on. We cannot thank him enough.”

(5)

“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.”
