A guide to booking

Hire Guitarists in Switzerland

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.

Set Lengths and Running Order

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.

Venues, Power and Outdoor Ceremonies

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.

What a Guitarist Costs in Switzerland

Guitar players in Switzerland mostly quote per set rather than per hour, starting from about CHF100 for a single instrumental set, with typical bookings around CHF330 and singer-guitarists bringing their own PA reaching CHF950+. 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.

Photo of Churi Churi "We booked Churi to play at our friend’s Hen Party and he did not disappoint! He was very efficient and professional in his communication before the event. He brought so much fun and great songs which we were dancing to all night long. We would 100% recommend booking him for any of your upcoming parties or events." 4th August 2026 Lydia Wiles - Hen Party Photo of The Gentlemen- professional duo/band The Gentlemen- professional duo/band "Good Morning! Just wanted to say a massive thank you for Saturday! The boys were amazing and so interactive with us which really made our party! Apologies for some of our diabolical singing! When you’re behind the mic you think you are the best singer in the world! 🤣 Hopefully catch up with them again, absolutely brilliant ❤️" 6th August 2026 Vannie Davies - Party Photo of Oscar Lyons Oscar Lyons "We hired Oscar for our wedding in the south of France this summer and he provided such a wonderful atmosphere with his beautifully moving voice. It really made such a difference to the vibe of our special day. He was very responsive in communication, highly professional and friendly throughout. Very much recommended. I can see his music working well in so many settings! Thanks again" 26th August 2026 Claire Trimbleby - Wedding Photo of Dagmar & Jacopo (Swing and Jazz Duo) Dagmar & Jacopo (Swing and Jazz Duo) "Fae & Sebastian H. - Per Dagmar & Jacopo - Jazz & Swing Duo 27/08/2026, Wedding Dagmar and Jacopo were truly the voice and soul of our wedding. We booked the duo to accompany the most special moments of our ceremony and aperitivo, and they made both absolutely unforgettable. Dagmar (fluent in so many languages, including the ones that were most important to us: German, English, Italian, and Spanish) enchanted everyone with her beautiful voice while also excelling in her role as our MC. From beginning to end, the collaboration felt warm, personal, and completely on equal footing, while always remaining highly professional. Their beautiful interpretations of songs that hold a very special place in our hearts made some of the most meaningful moments of our wedding even more memorable. And one moment we will definitely never forget: during our ceremony, one of the rings went missing. While everyone embarked on a scavenger hunt across the 2ha garden of the villa, Dagmar and Jacopo reacted quickly & kept playing.. providing the perfect soundtrack and turning this moment into one of the funniest and coolest experiences of the entire day. (Yes, we eventually found the ring! 😊) Thank you, Dagmar and Jacopo, for bringing so much heart, joy, and beautiful music to our wedding. We couldn’t have imagined it without you." 27th August 2026 Fae & Sebastian H. - Wedding Photo of Vincent Pellerin Vincent Pellerin "Vincent was very professional, arrived early, performed beautiful music for our dinner" 28th August 2026 Maurice Photo of Kymotopia Kymotopia "I was thrilled when Kymotopia agreed to play at our wedding, and they somehow exceeded all expectations. Jean-Nöel and Joseph were incredibly accommodating from start to finish, happily taking on special requests, including learning specific pieces especially for us, and even helping out with a few extra things on the day. We asked them to perform some of these learned pieces at key moments during the ceremony and they absolutely nailed it. "A World of Waves" (their first album) is forever going to be a musical portal for me back to that special day. These two are fantastic musicians and wonderful to work with. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough!" 7th September 2026 Daniel Jacobs - Private Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average price for guitarists on Gig Heaven is CHF330, with rates ranging from CHF100 to CHF950+. 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.

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.

The guitarists in Switzerland 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.

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 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.

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.
