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 Alvor 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 €1,000+. 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 Alvor, Faro, Portugal is €350 (EUR). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

André Guitar Ramos Solo Guitar
"André created the most beautiful atmosphere for our intimate wedding in the Algarve. His guitar playing was simply stunning—soft, romantic, and perfectly suited to the tone of our elopement. The music flowed effortlessly throughout our ceremony and dinner, providing a magical backdrop without ever overwhelming the moment.
What truly made the experience unforgettable was his willingness to go above and beyond—he even learned new boleros at our request and accompanied me while I sang to my groom. It was such a heartfelt and deeply personal moment, and André made it absolutely perfect. It felt truly magical.
We couldn’t have asked for a more talented, thoughtful, and professional musician. He elevated every part of our day, and we would recommend him without hesitation! Muito Obrigada"
Pinto Classical Guitar
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing guitarist!
David was incredible from start to finish. All the timings were perfect, and he absolutely nailed every song — even the ones that were a bit out there for classical guitar. He sounded amazing throughout the ceremony and drinks, and really added something special to the day.
He arrived on time, checked in briefly about where he needed to be and when, and that was all he needed — a true professional and very talented musician. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough!"
G Clef - Harmony between strings
"G Clef was an amazing Duo. They were great to work with. I am in Canada and met with them online to discuss my vision of the proposal, which would take place in Portugal. I sent them the 3 songs I wanted them to sing during the proposal. 2 of the songs they did not know, but they spent the time to learn them. As they were learning the new songs, they even created a demo of the 3 songs I requested so I could hear how they sounded. I was impressed. The proposal took place in a cave that is only accessible by boat from Armacao de Pera. The duo had to meet the boat crew ahead of time and get dropped off in the cave, which gave them time to set up. They brought a battery-powered amplifier for the guitar and vocals. Everything worked out perfectly. This group was great to work with and sounded excellent; they even performed an additional song of their choice, which was a perfect fit for the moment. I would highly recommend them for any event you have planned."
Ricardo Martins Guitarra Portuguesa/Fado
"Ricardo and his colleague were top notch! The music was beautiful and both musicians not only shared their extraordinary talent, but also answers our questions about the Portuguese guitar. Very professional and highly recommended!"
Ricardo Pavalec
"Thanks for a great show. Exactly what we were looking for."
Jorge Loureiro - Solo Act
"What a great party! The Cheers band were just amazing and there was never a time when the dance floor was not buzzing. Special tribute to your lead vocalists as they were just amazing, but also to the whole band for a just exceptional performance. We hope they enjoyed playing for us as much as we loved having them perform for us. And thank you for very professional and efficient organisation of the evening which ran like clockwork."
