A guide to booking

Hire Classical Guitarists

Classical guitarists are an exceptional way to add to the atmosphere of your event. Whether you are planning a formal dinner, or a simple drinks reception, having a classical guitarist playing softly in the background will be a wonderful addition to the event. These skilled acoustic guitar performers create an intimate and sophisticated ambiance that enhances any occasion without overwhelming conversation or other activities.

Why Hire Classical Guitar Musicians

Professional classical guitarists offer remarkable versatility for events of all sizes. Their repertoire typically spans centuries of classical compositions alongside contemporary arrangements, making them perfect companions to other classical performers like cellists or accompanists for larger ensemble performances. Many guitarists also collaborate beautifully with chamber orchestras for more elaborate musical presentations. Unlike amplified acts, acoustic guitar performers can adjust their volume naturally to suit different moments throughout your event.

Where Classical Guitar Works Best

Wedding ceremonies particularly benefit from the romantic, personal touch of classical guitar music. The gentle melodies create perfect accompaniment for processionals, unity ceremonies, and cocktail hours. Corporate events, gallery openings, and dinner parties also gain tremendous atmosphere from these refined musicians. Classical guitarists adapt smoothly between background ambiance and featured performances, often taking requests when given advance notice. Their acoustic nature makes them suitable for both intimate indoor venues and outdoor celebrations.

Typical Classical Guitarist Pricing

Professional classical guitarists typically charge between $120 and $650+ depending on experience, event duration, and specific requirements. The average price of $280 reflects standard performance fees for weddings and private events. Factors affecting cost include travel distance, repertoire complexity, and whether additional services like sound equipment or extended performance time are needed.

Armando played wonderfully and many of our guests praised Armando's music and commented on how incredible it was to experience the culture of Andalusia through his songs. Armando was not only an impeccable musician but was also kind and accommodating to our preferences. We would strongly recommend his services to anyone who needs an expert musician. We have kept a copy of his music, which we appreciate very much. We are eternally grateful not only for his music and experience, but also for creating a warm and jovial atmosphere on such an important day! (:" Translated from Spanish Based in Granada, Andalusia, Spain 23rd September 2026 Alexandra Navarro - Boda Privada Photo of Claudia Dorado - Classic Guitar Claudia Dorado - Classic Guitar "Claudia was amazing. She is an extraordinarily talented guitarist, playing classical guitar. She was also a pleasure to deal with, communicative, reliable, friendly and amenable. She played Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring as I walked down the aisle and it was glorious. She agreed to learn a few songs we liked to add some Spanish guitar versions of pop songs for the reception (eg Love of My Life - by Queen), and they were beautiful. We would highly recommend her."
