Guitarists in Coventry

Wedding and event guitarists in Coventry

A live guitarist brings warmth to the quieter moments of a wedding. In Coventry, guitarists play the ceremony, the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast, in styles from classical and Spanish to modern acoustic.

Whether your wedding is near Coventry, Kenilworth and Nuneaton or further afield, the guitarists here cover the whole of Coventry. Local venues include The Old Hall Hotel, Wethele Manor and Mallory Court Country House Hotel & Spa, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. You'll find more Coventry venues below, including Coombe Abbey Hotel, St Mary's Guildhall and Alderson House, 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.

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

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.

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.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the day. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.

“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.”

“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.”

(5)

“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!”
