Guitarists for Hire in Portorož

Q: How much do guitarists cost in Portorož?

The average price for guitarists on Gig Heaven is €350, with rates ranging from €100 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.

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 .

€Low price

from€100EUR

€€Average price

from€350EUR

€€€High price

from€1,000EUR

Guitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in Portorož starting from about €100 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.

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.

Neapolitan Mandolinist in Venice Verona "His mandolin playing brought tears to our eyes. It wasn’t just music — it was emotion, history, and romance all woven together. A perfect soundtrack for our Venetian wedding." Based in Venice, Veneto, Italy (61 miles from Portorož) 20th October 2025 Olivia & Thomas – Hotel Danieli, Venice

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! ☺️" Translated from Italian Based in Montegrotto Terme, Veneto, Italy (88 miles from Portorož) 8th October 2026 Jack & Giulia - Matrimonio

Brian V. "Brian was nothing less than exceptional. I knew by his communication throughout the planning process he was a fantastic vendor but to meet him in person and see him perform was confirmation. He catered to every request, was so seamless to work with and is honestly just a wonderful person. Everyone at our wedding commented about his performance and he tailored each song to fit our ever changing atmosphere. Without a doubt, the best musician I have worked with. Trying to come up with an excuse to get him to Australia for our home event! Thank you so much Brian, you excel in your work and you're extremely talented. Thank you for making our day even more special." Based in Ravenna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy (102 miles from Portorož) Laura Morgan - Wedding
