Guitarists in York
Hire a guitarist in York
Live guitar fits almost any part of a wedding day. Across York, 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.
York has a wide choice of wedding venues, from The Hospitium and Merchant Adventurers' Hall to The Grand, York. Our guitarists travel to towns across the area, including York, Selby and Tadcaster, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. You'll find more York venues below, including Hotel du Vin York, Grays Court and Bedern Hall, 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
