Guitarists for Hire in Ericeira

Q: How much do guitarists cost in Ericeira?

The average price for guitarists on Gig Heaven is €350, with rates ranging from €110 to €1,050+. 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.

Q: What styles of music can guitarists play?

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.

Q: What events are guitarists suitable for?

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.

Q: Can a guitarist learn specific songs for an event?

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.

Q: Do guitarists play electric or acoustic guitar?

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.

Q: Do guitarists need amplification?

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.

Q: Can a guitarist cover both the ceremony and the drinks reception?

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.

Q: How long does a guitarist usually play?

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.

Q: Will a guitarist play outdoors?

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.

Q: Can I contact multiple suppliers at the same time?

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard .

€€Average price

€€€High price

from€1,050EUR

Guitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in Ericeira starting from about €110 for a single instrumental set, 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.

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.

Kajó Soares-Saxophone /Portuguese Guitar "Kajó was incredible, one of the highlights of the day for us and all our guests.

The saxaphone during cocktails was also the perfect background to the drinks. Kajó is so talented and also a lovely person, we definitely recommend him for any event!" Based in Lisbon, Lisbon District (23 miles from Ericeira) 9th August 2026 Charlotte Davies - Wedding

Paly "Pali was absolutely incredible and truly elevated our wedding day. He arrived early, fully prepared and he worked effortlessly with the venue team to get set up smoothly. We gave him a very minimal brief, yet he completely understood the vibe we were after and nailed it. His music was the perfect backdrop for our beach wedding. It was relaxed, soulful, and effortlessly coastal. Every set he played created such a joyful, sun-soaked atmosphere that matched the setting perfectly. So many of our guests commented on how amazing the music was. On top of all that, he’s a lovely, polite, and professional guy. We couldn’t be happier. Thank you Paly for making our big day extra special! 11/10!" Based in Lisbon, Lisbon District (23 miles from Ericeira) Izabela Wisniewska - Wedding

Nuno Sá "Nuno was present on the most special day of our lives and it couldn't have been better. He has a beautiful voice, created the perfect atmosphere and was super professional and friendly from the first contact. All the guests loved it. I recommend with all my heart to anyone who wants a singer who conveys emotion, serenity and joy on their wedding day. Thank you, Nuno! 🤍" Translated from Portuguese Based in Coimbra (101 miles from Ericeira) 11th September 2026 Beatriz - Private Wedding

Àhlecx Ferry "Damn! You sound just like Kurt Cobain" after playing the full Unplugged in New York album from Nirvana in acoustic with my first 2nd guitar player "Lewis Greenstrings" full acoustic. After " I really thought I was living the unplugged live, thank you so much, really" One of my best gigs" Based in Aveiro, Aveiro District (123 miles from Ericeira) Bartender - Gig at Café Amizade - Aveiro

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" Based in Algarve, Faro (140 miles from Ericeira) 12th June 2026 Ms Zahira & Hector Rosado - Wedding

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!" Based in Algarve, Faro (140 miles from Ericeira) Nathan Daley - Wedding
