Latest reviews of our Engagement Party Guitarists in Scarborough
"We booked Errol for our wedding, he was absolutely brilliant, I highly recommend him. He is really a talented musician and singer, it was a great set, he had put a lot of thought into the planning and arriving to set up. All the guests were still talking the next day about how good he was and asking where I found him. He was such a nice guy too, brilliant company to have around on the day, everybody loved him and everybody rocked out and danced all evening, even those who dont usually dance. Fantastic! I cant recommended him enough and am so glad that we did book him for our wedding, it made the evening. "

"We couldn’t recommend Pat highly enough. He played at our wedding dinner at The Wild Rabbit in Kingham and was simply fantastic. We were a very small group of just 13, and Pat somehow managed to feel like part of our family and friends rather than someone we had booked to perform. His guitar playing is absolutely mind-blowing, but what impressed us just as much was his ability to read the room and sense the mood of the evening. He instinctively knew when to play, when to hold back and exactly what music fitted each moment. His music became such a natural part of our dinner and made the evening even more special. Pat is also a genuinely lovely guy — relaxed, professional, flexible and incredibly easy to work with. Communication was excellent and everything felt effortless. A real highlight was a spontaneous jam session with one of our teenage guests, singing Amy Winehouse songs together. The evening eventually ended with all of us singing along with Pat — an unforgettable way to finish our wedding. 10 out of 10. We would book Pat again in a heartbeat and couldn’t recommend him more highly. Tobias & Frances"

FAQs about hiring Engagement Party Guitarists in Scarborough
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
What kind of guitarist should I hire?
Choosing a guitarist will depend on the context of your event - guitarists usually specialise in a specific style, such as jazz, classical, Spanish, or pop/rock. A jazz or classical guitarist might be perfect for wedding reception background music, or a corporate event, whereas you might want a pop/rock guitarist for a birthday party, or a karoake sing-along.
Will I need to provide the guitarist with any equipment?
Guitarists will come fully prepared for your event - they will usually provide light amplification, a guitar stool (if they'll be performing sitting down), and a music stand. If you're in a larger venue, they may make use of the venue's PA system.
I want my guitarist to sing as well. Is this possible?
Yes! Many guitarists will sing and play guitar simultaneously - they can also do a mixture of accompanied and accompanied music to provide some variation to their performance! They'll most likely mention this information on their profile, as well as have links to videos showcasing their skills.
