Guitarists in Devon

Wedding and event guitarists in Devon

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

Popular wedding venues in Devon include Huntsham Court, ANRÁN at Tidwell Farm and Bickley Mill, and our guitarists travel to weddings and events across Exeter, Plymouth and Torquay. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. Other venues in the area include The Great Barn Devon, Rockbeare Manor and Watermouth Cove, and each has its own venue page further down.

Guitarists include instrumental players, who play classical, Spanish and fingerstyle arrangements, and singer-guitarists, who add vocals to acoustic versions of well-known songs.

We've been booking wedding entertainment since 1999, and every guitarist on this page covers Devon. You can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

The essentials:

  • Budget from around £250 to £900, depending on the act and the date
  • Book for the ceremony only, or for the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast
  • Popular dates go months in advance
  • Everything included is listed in your quote
  • Change your mind within 14 days and get a full refund

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.

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.

Every act's page has video and audio of the performer you would actually book, along with their repertoire and written reviews from couples who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the sound before you commit.

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.

“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.”

“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.”
