Wedding Guitarists: what couples ask
Practical answers about pricing, timing and what to confirm before you book.
Which parts of the day suit a guitarist?
The ceremony, the drinks and a long dinner. A guitarist who sings can carry the aisle and the first dance too.
Classical or acoustic?
Classical and Spanish guitar suit a ceremony and a garden. Acoustic pop and fingerstyle suit the drinks and dinner. Many players do both; browse their song lists for the range.
Will they learn our song?
Most will learn a song for the aisle or the first dance with some notice.
