Guitarists in Manchester
Wedding and event guitarists in Manchester
A live guitarist brings warmth to the quieter moments of a wedding. In Manchester, guitarists play the ceremony, the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast, in styles from classical and Spanish to modern acoustic.
Across Manchester, guitarists are booked for weddings and events in and around Manchester, Salford and Stockport. Venues in the area include The Monastery Manchester, Manchester Hall and Victoria Baths, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. You'll find more Manchester venues below, including Great John Street Hotel, The Midland Hotel and The Principal / Kimpton Clocktower, each with its own page.
The guitar is one of the most versatile instruments for a wedding. Classical and Spanish styles suit a ceremony, fingerstyle arrangements set a relaxed tone for the drinks reception, and a singer-guitarist can lead a sing-along later on.

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.
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.
