Guitarists in Dorset
Wedding and event guitarists in Dorset
Live guitar fits almost any part of a wedding day. Across Dorset, 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 Bournemouth, Poole and Dorchester or further afield, the guitarists here cover the whole of Dorset. Local venues include The Barn at Gorwell Farm, Symondsbury Tithe Barn and Hope Farm, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Studland Bay House, Deans Court Dorset and Parley Manor are among the other Dorset venues listed further down, 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.

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.
Prices usually start from around £250 and go up to £900 or so. 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. Your quote shows the full price for your date, so you can compare acts on the same basis.
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.
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.
