Guitarists for Hire in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Q: How much do guitarists cost in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria?

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 .

€Low price

from€110EUR

€€Average price

from€350EUR

€€€High price

from€1,050EUR

Guitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria 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.

Enrico "Enrico party band played an instrumental guitar set for around four hours at our symbolic wedding in Florence. They really helped making our day a special and memorable event. Their perfromance and guitar playing wete excellent and they played all the songs we had wished for. They also arrived early (driving from Modena) in order to set up their equipment as well as practice some musical pieces with a friend of ours. Very dedicated to do a good job. Can’t recommend them enough!" Based in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands (57 miles from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) Fredrik Sjöwall

Gypsy Jazz Guitarist "Filippo was relaxed, gracious, fun, and above all, sounded great. We have had so many friends and family come up to us (still - nearly six months later!) and say how great the music was!" Based in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands (57 miles from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) Sarah Hargreaves - Wedding

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!" Based in Faro, Portugal (754 miles from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) Thaddaeus Smith - Private Party

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, Portugal (756 miles from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) 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, Portugal (756 miles from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) Nathan Daley - Wedding

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, Portugal (758 miles from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) Derek Erickson - Marriage Proposal
