"Matt played at our wedding on Friday for our ceremony and drinks reception, and all we can say is… WOW! From the moment he started playing, he created the most amazing atmosphere. His guitar playing is incredible, his voice is absolutely unreal, and every single song was played to perfection. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be part of our day. We had so many compliments from our guests, and we lost count of the number of people asking us where we’d found him because they thought he was so brilliant! Not only is Matt unbelievably talented, but he’s also one of the friendliest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. His passion for music shines through in every performance, and it honestly made our day even more special. We genuinely can’t recommend Matt enough. Booking him was one of the best decisions we made, and it definitely won’t be the last time we book him. We already can’t wait to listen to him again! Thank you, Matt, for helping make our wedding day so unforgettable. If you’re looking for a wedding musician, look no further – he’s simply the best! Molly & Sam July 17th 2026 xoxo"

FAQs about hiring Singing guitarists in Wakefield
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Is it hard to sing and play guitar?
Singing and playing guitar simultaneously can be a challenging task for both beginners and experienced musicians. It requires coordination, timing, and the ability to focus on two separate tasks at once. Experienced musicians may find it easier to sing and play guitar simultaneously, but it still requires a high level of skill and practice. They need to be able to anticipate the chords and lyrics of the song, and they need to be able to adjust their playing and singing to match the tempo and dynamics of the music. With practice, most people can learn to sing and play guitar simultaneously. It is a rewarding skill that can add a new dimension to your musical performance.
How to choose the right singing guitarist?
Choosing the right singing guitarist for your event can make or break the atmosphere and mood of the occasion. Here are some factors to consider when making your decision: - Musical Style and Genre: Think about the overall theme and vibe of your event and choose a singing guitarist who aligns with that style. If you're planning a casual gathering, a singer-songwriter with an acoustic guitar might be perfect.

With Encore, you can read their reviews to evaluate their experience level and reputation. - Stage Presence and Professionalism: Choose a singing guitarist who exudes confidence and stage presence. They should be able to engage the audience, interact with guests, and maintain a professional demeanour throughout the event.

How much time do singing guitarists take to set up?
