Wedding guitarist you can trust
In short, you need a professional wedding guitarist you can trust, not an amateur you have to worry about.

Avoid agency fees by booking me as the guitarist for your wedding direct here. Check out my wedding guitarist Google reviews and let’s talk about your event!
“Thank you so much for playing guitar at our wedding at the Longhouse in Bruton. It was lovely to walk up to the aisle to the sound of ‘What a Wonderful World’ played so beautifully and we and our guests all really enjoyed the lively Spanish sound which went perfectly with the sunshine and canapés!
Not only a thoroughly professional musician but very reasonably priced too – we will certainly recommend you to anyone looking for a guitarist or pianist for a special occasion. Thanks again”
“Just to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding – it was just what we were looking for. Throughout the evening I kept thinking to myself how lovely the music was and how nice it was not to have to shout above it, as we would have had to do if we’d had a disco or DJ.
I have also been really impressed with your professionalism throughout – from the initial booking, through to you actually playing. I would thoroughly recommend you to anyone and everyone.”
Professional wedding guitarist.
As I have been a fully professional wedding guitarist for over 25 years, I have all of the above skills and am therefore dedicated to making your wedding music truly magical. I have played every kind of venue, from intimate proposal dinners (2 people) to Wembley Arena (7000 people), and most things in between. With a passion for creating unforgettable moments, I specialise in providing exquisite guitar music tailored to the unique atmosphere of your celebration.
Weddings are my absolute favourite events to play for as they are such joyful occasions, and I have played for over 1000 weddings over the years, but every single one is as different and unique as the couples getting married. I also play guitar for parties, corporate events and international music festivals across the UK and beyond.
I am very familiar with all aspects of playing guitar for the Wedding Ceremony, Drinks Reception, Wedding Breakfast or Evening Reception and so will discuss your requirements in detail to ensure that you get exactly the mood and music that YOU want.
Whatever your musical requirements I am here to help and I do recognise that this is probably the most important day of your lives so far, so I always treat every wedding with great respect and as more precious than the last.
“Jon, thank you so much for coming and playing at our wedding. It was exactly the mood we wanted. All the guests told me it was great and I am very thankful to you.
One guest told me how much they loved your playing and then you launched into a Spanish piece and they were just blown away. Thanks again”
“Dear Jon, I’m really pleased that you enjoyed yourself at our reception. Your performance was superb and many of the guests have said so when we spoke to them subsequently.
Your music was perfect for the occasion and helped to create the relaxed festival feel that we aimed for right from the early days of planning.
So once again, thank you for bringing such wonderful music to help make our day special.”
Guitar Music Styles for Your Wedding
Well-Known Pop Tunes Arranged for Solo Guitar
In addition to classical music, I specialize in arranging well-known pop tunes for solo wedding guitar. These contemporary pieces are perfect for couples who want to add a personal and modern touch to their wedding day.
From the romantic ballads that set the mood during the ceremony to upbeat hits that will get toes tapping and people singing along, my repertoire includes a wide range of popular songs. These arrangements maintain the essence of the original tracks while adding a unique and intimate acoustic flavour that is perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Whether it’s a touching Ed Sheeran love song during the signing of the register or a classic Beatles tune to energize your guests, my pop arrangements are sure to resonate with everyone in attendance. See my guitar videos below for examples.
Classical / Spanish / Brazilian Guitar
I have a deep passion for Classical and Spanish guitar, which brings an air of sophistication, timeless beauty and fun to any wedding. Playing pieces from renowned composers such as Bach, Tarrega, and Albeniz, I create an elegant atmosphere that enhances the significance of your special moments. The intricate melodies and harmonies of classical guitar add a touch of romance and grandeur to the ceremony, making the walk down the aisle even more memorable.
Spanish & Brazilian guitar, with their vibrant rhythms and passionate flair, can bring a lively and fun ambiance to your reception, ensuring your guests are captivated and entertained. This music can be gentle and relaxing or up tempo and fiery, depending on the mood you would like and the energy on the day. See my guitar videos below for examples.
By blending these diverse styles, I am able to tailor the musical experience to perfectly match the unique vision of your wedding day. Classical and Spanish guitar provides the elegance and tradition, while pop tunes bring familiarity and joy, ensuring a beautiful and memorable musical backdrop for every part of your celebration.
