How much does it cost to hire Guitarists in Wollongong?

$Low price
from$170AUD
$$Average price
from$550AUD
$$$High price
from$1,600AUD

Guitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in Wollongong starting from about $170 for a single instrumental set, typical bookings around $550 and singer-guitarists bringing their own PA reaching $1,600+. Longer performances, weekend and peak-season dates, and sets that include vocals all push quotes up. When comparing quotes, check what each includes: amplification, travel and time to learn requested songs are sometimes itemised separately. Booking ceremony and reception music with the same performer often costs less than hiring two separate acts. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Photo of Caleb Foster Caleb Foster "We had the absolute pleasure of having Caleb be part of our special day, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better! He was amazing, professional, and made everything so easy and enjoyable. Our guests loved him, and he helped make our wedding even more memorable. We highly recommend Caleb and his services to anyone looking for someone amazing. Thank you so much, Caleb!"

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!" Based in Sydney, New South Wales (42 miles from Wollongong) 21st March 2026 Lysandra - Private party Photo of Vale Acoustic Vale Acoustic "We cannot thank Matt and Steve enough for being such a huge part of our wedding day. From start to finish, they were incredible, professional, fun, and so in tune with the energy of the room. Their live performances were absolutely beautiful and added such a personal touch to the ceremony and reception. And when it was time to hit the dance floor, they had everyone up and celebrating all night long! So many of our guests commented on how amazing the music was, and honestly, we couldn’t agree more. Steve and Matt helped create such a fun and relaxed atmosphere, and it truly wouldn’t have been the same without them. If you’re looking for musicians who genuinely care and know how to bring the perfect vibe to your day these are your guys!"

I'm glad I went with him for this event. He was very professional, new the task at hand, and executed. He did a great job of learning the song and tailoring it to the event. It made the turning point of the surprise calling her name out, which made for a great photo moment. I'd definitely use him again in any event." Based in Sydney, New South Wales (42 miles from Wollongong) Deshawn Findley - My proposal Photo of Steyer Brothers - Brazilian Guitar Steyer Brothers - Brazilian Guitar "Steyer Brothers were absolutely fantastic. Their music was a gentle, elegant and artistic touch to our event. Their music brought a gentle up bit vibe that gave just the right tone to our intimate wedding ceremony. Ricardo and his brother have been very flexible and adapted to the flow of our event with the right music and timing as needed. All our guests loved their music and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Ricardo was a pleasure to work and communicate with. Incredible people and very talented musicians!"

Frequently asked questions

The average price for guitarists on Gig Heaven is $550, with rates ranging from $170 to $1,600+. Cost depends on performance duration, the guitarist's experience and whether the booking is for background music or a full live set. Guitarists on the platform cover a wide range of styles including classical, jazz, blues, rock, flamenco and pop.

The guitarists for hire cover a huge range of styles including classical, jazz, blues, flamenco, rock, pop, folk, fingerstyle and acoustic covers. Many guitarists are versatile performers who can switch between styles during an event to suit different moments.

Popular occasions for hiring guitarists include wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, corporate dinners, private parties, restaurant entertainment and ambient background music. A solo guitarist provides versatile, elegant live music that suits both intimate and larger settings.

Most guitarists are happy to learn specific songs for key moments such as a ceremony entrance or first dance. Many have extensive repertoires covering popular songs, classical pieces and jazz standards. It is advisable to discuss song requests with the guitarist well in advance.

Many guitarists on Gig Heaven play both electric and acoustic guitar and can choose the instrument that best suits the event. Acoustic guitar provides a warm, intimate sound for ceremonies and dining, while electric guitar is better for rock, blues and higher-energy performances.

For small, quiet settings, many guitarists can perform acoustically. For larger venues, outdoor events or noisier environments, a small amplifier or PA system is usually needed. Most guitarists bring their own amplification. For the best experience, discuss the venue size with the performer.

One player can usually cover the whole day, moving from processional and signing music during the ceremony to background playing over drinks and dinner. Timings are agreed in advance, since the ceremony music has fixed cues while the reception is more flexible. Where the ceremony and the reception are in different spaces, allow time to move and set up between them.

Most bookings run to two or three hours of playing time, split into sets with breaks, though the total time on site is longer once setup and soundcheck are added. Shorter ceremony-only bookings of around 40 minutes are common and are priced differently. Ask for playing time rather than hours on site, as the two are not the same.

Outdoor playing is common for ceremonies and garden receptions, and most players are happy to do it given shade and a level surface. Direct sun and damp both affect a wooden instrument, so a covered area is worth arranging even in settled weather. Wind carries sound away quickly, so amplification is usually needed outdoors even for a small number of guests.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
