Price and Performance Time
The price for this ceremony or cocktail hour package is $500, as published by the vendor. The vendor lists up to 1.5 hr performance, so the exact time is confirmed in your quote before you book. Share your timeline early so the set can be planned around your processional, vows, recessional or reception arrival.
Wedding Ceremony Music
For wedding ceremony music, a solo guitarist offers a gentle sound that fills the space without overpowering spoken vows. Hosts can pick separate songs for guest seating, the processional, a special moment during the ceremony and the recessional. Talk through each cue in the songlist consultation so every transition feels natural and lands at the right time.
Instrumental versions keep the focus on the moment, while songs with vocals can add meaning when the lyrics matter to you. Many hosts mix both, using instrumentals during seating and a vocal song for the entrance. The consultation is the place to decide, along with how the music should end as the ceremony closes.
Cocktail Hour Music
Choosing between the ceremony and the cocktail hour depends on where live music will mean the most to you. If the vows are the emotional center of the day, ceremony music frames that moment. If you want guests to linger and connect, cocktail hour music keeps the energy friendly and welcoming while the reception space is prepared.
As cocktail hour music, acoustic guitar and vocals create a relaxed backdrop while guests mingle, find drinks and step into the reception. The volume can stay conversational, and the setlist can move from easy favorites toward more upbeat songs as the room fills. Share any genres or artists you love so the set reflects your taste.
Your Songs, Your Way
With an extensive repertoire of cover songs across genres and eras, there is plenty to choose from, and you can curate your own unique songlist if you prefer. The package also lets you request up to 2 new songs for the performer to learn for your event, which is ideal for a first look, an entrance or a family favorite.
Send your requests well ahead of the date so new songs can be prepared with care. Include the specific version you love, any section you want to start or end on, and the moment it should play. Clear notes help the live music match what you hear in your head when you picture the day.
Beyond Weddings
Live music from an acoustic guitarist also suits engagement parties, anniversary dinners, corporate receptions and garden gatherings. The same approach applies: pick the part of the event where music matters most, share the mood you want, and plan a songlist with the performer. A solo act fits smaller spaces where a full band would feel crowded.
Because the setup is compact, a solo performer can work in courtyards, private homes, wineries and restaurant rooms. Ask your venue about any limits on amplified sound, curfews or noise rules, and pass those details along when you request a quote so the sound equipment can be set at a level that suits the room.
Planning and Booking
Start by sharing your date, venue, guest count and whether you want the ceremony or the cocktail hour. Confirm power access, a shaded or covered performance area for outdoor events and any venue sound limits. Once your quote and booking terms are approved, the date is reserved and the songlist consultation can begin.
