Solo guitar works at almost every point of an event, from ceremony music and drinks receptions through to relaxed evening sets. Before requesting quotes, it helps to decide where live music sits in your day: quiet background playing during food, a featured moment such as a first dance, or both. That decision shapes the set list, the equipment a performer brings and the price you are quoted.
A typical booking covers two 45-minute sets or three 40-minute sets with breaks in between, though most performers will adjust timings to fit around speeches, courses and other entertainment. For drinks receptions, many guitarists play longer, lighter sets at background volume; for evening slots, expect shorter and more energetic performances. Agree the running order in advance and decide who will cue the performer on the day, so timing changes reach them quickly.
Indoor setups are simple: a chair, a small clear area and a nearby socket cover most performances. Outdoor ceremonies and garden parties need more thought. Ask whether the performer can bring a battery amplifier or play fully acoustic where there is no power, check noise policies and finish times with your venue before booking an amplified evening set, and make sure there is somewhere dry and shaded for both the performer and the instrument.
Guitar players in Italy mostly quote per set rather than per hour, starting from about €110 for a single instrumental set, with typical bookings around €350 and singer-guitarists bringing their own PA reaching €1,050+. 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.
The average price for Guitarists available in Italy is €350 (EUR). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Patrik Roncolato
"We had the pleasure of having Patrick play during the buffet at our wedding, and we couldn't have made a better choice! 🎸✨
It was simply fantastic: a truly talented musician, with an incredibly wide repertoire and the ability to switch from one style to another with an amazing naturalness. His music created a really magical vibe and contributed enormously to making that moment even more special.
Besides being very good, he is also a really nice, down-to-earth and pleasant person, and it was a real pleasure having him with us on such an important day.
Our guests loved his music and we were really impressed. We absolutely recommend him to anyone who wants to add a special, elegant and magical touch to their event. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding even more special! ☺️"
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."
Carlo Calderano
"Carlo played beautiful guitar music during our wedding ceremony and dinner in Tuscany, which added a lot to the magic of the event. He was very kind and helpful, and even helped with the audio setup we needed for our first dance. Thank you Carlo, it's been a real pleasure to have you there!"

Absolutely entertaining and beautiful. And just as important, they are incredible human beings. Very kind, respectful, professional, and a pleasure to work with. We valued them as our guests and not just a band because they were unbelievable to work with and played a big part for our special wedding day. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you again Miguel and Gitania. You will always have a special place in our hearts with the amazing music you performed and the wonderful process it was to work with you."
The Wimbledon Jazz Duo
"We couldn’t have been happier! The Wimbledon Jazz Duo created exactly the atmosphere we had dreamed of for our wedding, warm, elegant, joyful and full of life.
One of the absolute highlights was when our daughter Maren joined them to sing. The beautiful interaction between her and the musicians made the whole performance incredibly special and absolutely perfect.
Wonderful musicians, beautiful music and such a lovely presence. They became a truly unforgettable part of our wedding day, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! ❤️"
