How much does it cost to hire Guitarists in Vila Real de Santo António?

€Low price
from€110EUR
€€Average price
from€350EUR
€€€High price
from€1,000EUR

Guitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in Vila Real de Santo António starting from about €110 for a single instrumental set, 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. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

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!" Based in Faro (31 miles from Vila Real de Santo António) Thaddaeus Smith - Private Party Photo of Ricardo Pavalec Ricardo Pavalec "Thanks for a great show. Exactly what we were looking for." Based in Faro (31 miles from Vila Real de Santo António) Gareth - Birthday Photo of Jorge Loureiro - Solo Act 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." Based in Faro (31 miles from Vila Real de Santo António) James & Anna - Wedding Photo of G Clef - Harmony between strings 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." Based in Loulé, Faro (33 miles from Vila Real de Santo António) Derek Erickson - Marriage Proposal Photo of André Guitar Ramos Solo Guitar 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 (41 miles from Vila Real de Santo António) 12th June 2026 Ms Zahira & Hector Rosado - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average price for guitarists on Gig Heaven is €350, with rates ranging from €110 to €1,000+. 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.
