A solo guitarist is one of the most versatile musicians you can book for a live event. Guitar players perform across a huge range of styles, from fingerpicked acoustic ballads and Spanish flamenco to electric blues, funk and pop covers. Most professional guitarists carry a varied setlist and can adjust their volume and repertoire to suit formal ceremonies, relaxed drinks receptions or lively evening entertainment.
The guitarists listed here cover the full spectrum of guitar performance. If you need a specific style, dedicated category pages can help you narrow your search: classical guitarists specialise in nylon-string repertoire for ceremonies and formal dinners, while jazz guitarists focus on standards, bossa nova and improvised sets. For a complete vocal and guitar package, singing guitarists combine popular covers with live instrumentation and are a popular choice for weddings and parties. Guitar players also pair well with other soloists or small ensembles, and many are happy to perform alongside a saxophone player or as part of an acoustic duo for a fuller sound.
Guitarists suit almost any event format. At weddings, acoustic guitar is a natural choice for ceremony music, with many performers learning first dance songs or processional pieces on request. During drinks receptions and dinners, instrumental guitar provides atmosphere without overpowering conversation. For evening parties, an acoustic rock set or a singer-guitarist with a loop pedal can fill a room with a sound closer to a full band. Corporate events, private parties, restaurant residencies and garden parties are all common bookings. Most guitar players are self-contained, needing only a small performance area and a power socket for their amplifier.
A short instrumental set starts from around $100, most solo guitar bookings come in around $300, and sets with vocals and a full PA reach $800+. The exact quote is shaped by performance duration, travel distance and the type of set. If you have a specific song request for a wedding ceremony or first dance, raise it early so the guitarist has time to learn and rehearse the piece.
The average price for Guitarists is $300 (USD). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Tunes For Two
"Marta and her partner were a real delight.
As this was a family dinner I didn’t want the band to be too dominant, so that we were still able to talk and have a conversation.
It was absolutely perfect and they even gave us a bit of extra time. Thank you so much."
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."
