Guitarists in Cornwall

Hire a guitarist in Cornwall

A solo guitarist is a relaxed, flexible choice for the daytime part of a wedding. In Cornwall, 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 Cornwall, guitarists are booked for weddings and events in and around Truro, Falmouth and Newquay. Venues in the area include Tregenna Castle Resort, Tredudwell Manor and Pengenna Manor, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. Other venues in the area include Lusty Glaze, Boconnoc House and Launcells Barton, 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 Cornwall 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.

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.

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.

“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.”

“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.”
