Why You Should Hire a Guitarist for Your Wedding

Updated: Jan 18, 2023




Hiring a guitarist for a wedding can add a special touch to the occasion and create a more personalized and memorable experience for you and your guests. Here are a few reasons why you should consider hiring a guitarist for your wedding:


If you had to postpone your wedding because of the pandemic, you are certainly not alone. According to a study published by The Knot, in 2020, nearly half of couples rescheduled their special day. But now that the Covid-19 crisis has blown over, 2022 is set to be a record-breaking season for weddings. And yet, with nearly 2.5 million weddings scheduled for this year, how will you make yours special? Hiring a live wedding guitarist can add a special, unique touch to your ceremony and reception. And, help you celebrate all that your love has gone through during the past two years. Here are just a few of the benefits of hiring a guitarist for a wedding.


Nothing Sets the Ambience Like the Mesmerising Sound of a Guitar

The number of musical instruments that can match the charm, warmth, and versatility of a guitar sound can be counted on one hand. And, none of them is as mesmerising and romantic. When working with wedding musicians and guitarists, you can be sure to be setting the perfect dreamy ambience for your ceremony and the best beat for your reception celebrations. Ultimately, a wedding musician can create the perfect soundtrack for your special day - from the moment you start walking down the aisle to your first dance and beyond!


A Style Tailored to Your Love Story

No two love stories are exactly the same, and it is perfectly within your rights to find a wedding musician that can craft the perfect soundtrack and bring to life your unique story. While a DJ or band might have set tracks to play at wedding celebrations, hiring a live guitarist means that you can have full creative control over your day’s music and ambience. So, you can play with different songs, styles, and rhythms. And, enjoy some of your favourite love songs’ covers!.


Easily Fits Any Wedding Budget

While the music you’ll play at your wedding is truly something you shouldn’t skimp on, wedding musicians understand that sticking to a budget is a vital aspect of planning a wedding. After all, you are about to start building a life with your other half - and you’ll need your savings! But hiring a musician is the perfect option for those budget-conscious couples that don’t want to compromise on quality. Hiring a live guitarist is a more affordable choice than engaging a band - and far more enjoyable than working with a DJ!


Perfect To Fill Small Venues

If you are planning a smaller or micro-wedding, you are not alone. After the events of 2020 and 2021, nearly 80% of couples opted for a reduced guest and vendor list. But smaller weddings can be just as special as large-scale celebrations - just far more special and intimate! Hiring a live guitarist is the perfect choice to fill your small venue with a beautiful sound and avoid having to find the space for the large amount of equipment that usually comes with hiring a band. Often, you’ll need a chair, a microphone, and good acoustics!


A Live Guitarist Interacts With Your Guests

A DJ or band might play standard wedding playlists, but only an experienced wedding guitarist can play and interact with your audience. From accepting song requests to performing covers and hits and creating a unique playlist, wedding musicians can help you make your special day a little extra special. And you won’t have to worry about technical issues or malfunctioning equipment!


Book a Wedding Guitarist for Your Wedding

Hiring live musicians for your wedding can be the best choice you’ll make when planning a wedding. Thanks to their versatility and experience, wedding guitarists can create a unique playlist, fit any budget, and fill any venue with a beautiful, enveloping sound.
