I play Guildford weddings regularly — most years I'm booked for at least a handful across the year, from small intimate ceremonies up in the Surrey Hills through to bigger evening receptions in the town centre hotels.
Venues I've played in and around Guildford
A non-exhaustive list of places I've either played at or played for couples who had their reception there:
- The Mandolay Hotel — central Guildford, regular venue for drinks receptions
- Wotton House — country-house weddings just outside Dorking/Guildford
- Manor House at Great Fosters — bigger weddings with the ceremony often outside
- Clock Barn Hall — intimate Surrey Hills weddings
- The Barn at Bury Court — beautiful barn venue, the acoustic works perfectly
- Loseley Park — historic estate just outside Guildford
If your venue isn't on the list, I'll still travel there — Guildford is 20 minutes from where I'm based so travel costs are minimal.
What a Guildford wedding day typically looks like
The most common booking pattern: ceremony song for the walk down the aisle, signing of the register, and walk back out — then I set up at the drinks reception spot and play 90 minutes or so while everyone mingles and finds the bar. Some couples then book me for the evening too, usually as an acoustic set before a DJ takes over.
I'll learn up to three songs specifically for you as part of the booking — first dance, a ceremony song, and a parent dance are the most common.
