Last reviewed: August 11, 2026. Bob Richard is a Vancouver wedding guitarist, singer and songwriter whose official website describes a one-person acoustic show for wedding ceremonies, private parties, pubs and clubs. The site identifies him as Bob Richard and places his regular live work in and around the Lower Mainland of Vancouver, BC.

For couples considering live guitar at a ceremony, the useful starting point is the format: instrumental acoustic music, vocal-led pop and rock renditions, or a combination of both. Bob Richard’s website says that a special song may be requested in advance and that he can usually arrange it for the occasion. No street address or telephone number is published on the confirmed official pages reviewed for this profile.

Services and specialization

Bob Richard’s confirmed offering is a solo acoustic performance led by guitar, with singing where desired. His official site describes music for “all occasions,” ranging from instrumental acoustic selections to sung pop and rock renditions. It specifically states that he plays wedding ceremonies.

The published song list gives couples a practical sense of the repertoire rather than a promise that every song will be available for every event. It includes songs associated with artists such as the Beatles, Elvis, John Legend, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, Ed Sheeran-era pop and Canadian rock, alongside instrumental selections. The site says the list is continually expanding and is meant to show the range of music he plays.

Service area and who it may suit

The official website places Bob Richard’s regular performances in and around the Lower Mainland of Vancouver, BC. This supports a Vancouver and Lower Mainland focus, but it does not publish a fixed travel boundary, travel fee or list of municipalities served. Couples planning an event outside Vancouver should ask directly whether their venue is within his current service area.

This may suit couples looking for a single live musician rather than a full band or DJ, especially where acoustic guitar, vocals, instrumentals or a mix of those formats fits the ceremony plan. The official site does not state that he provides reception DJ services, a band, MC services, lighting or a complete sound-production package, so those needs should be confirmed rather than assumed.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the flexibility of the musical format. Bob Richard’s official site distinguishes between instrumental performances for a quieter background feel and performances with singing, and it notes that couples can request a special song in advance. His published repertoire also spans multiple eras and styles, including flamenco, folk, rock, blues, country and pop.

Another useful feature is the ability to review material before enquiring: the site provides music-sample and song-list pages. That gives couples a way to assess whether the musical direction suits their ceremony before discussing details.

The practical limitation is that the website is concise. It does not publish package structures, set lengths for weddings, equipment details, travel terms, backup arrangements, planning meetings or a detailed ceremony timeline. Those are booking questions, not negative findings.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The official pages reviewed do not list wedding packages, starting rates, deposits, taxes, travel charges, overtime fees or payment terms.

Ask for a written quote that identifies the performance duration, desired music moments, travel, equipment requirements and any additional costs. A quote can then be compared on scope rather than price alone.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

Contact and booking

Bob Richard’s official website has a dedicated contact page and directs prospective clients to call or email through that page with questions. It also says to get in touch when interested in booking. This provides a current first-party contact route, supporting an Active listing status on the review date.

The official pages reviewed do not publish a business street address or telephone number, so neither is included here. Use the contact route on the official website and retain the written reply or agreement when finalizing a booking.

Music planning and repertoire

Start with the part of the day that needs live music. The official site confirms wedding ceremonies and also presents instrumental music as an option when a background feel is preferred. Couples can explain whether they want purely instrumental guitar, vocals with guitar, or a combination.

For a requested ceremony selection, contact Bob Richard early with the song title, artist or version, the point in the ceremony when it is needed and the approximate timing. His site says he can usually arrange an advance request, but it does not guarantee every request; obtain confirmation before printing a ceremony program or building a cue sheet around it.

What couples should confirm

Confirm whether Bob Richard is available for the date, the exact venue address, the arrival and performance times, and whether the booking covers only the ceremony or additional music such as guest arrival or cocktails. Ask which selections will be instrumental and which will include vocals.

Confirm the music cues that matter most: processional, signing, recessional and any special request. If the venue is outdoors or has restricted power, ask about the sound setup, rain plan, volume expectations and who will coordinate cues on the day.

Before sending a deposit, request the current fee, taxes, travel costs, deposit amount, balance due date, cancellation or postponement terms, and the name of the party receiving payment. The official website confirms the artist and general service, but it does not publish these booking terms.
