How much does it cost to hire Guitarists in St. Petersburg?

$Low price
from$140USD
$$Average price
from$370USD
$$$High price
from$1,150USD

Guitar players mostly quote per set rather than per hour, with rates in St. Petersburg starting from about $140 for a single instrumental set, typical bookings around $370 and singer-guitarists bringing their own PA reaching $1,150+. 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.

Reviews of Guitarists based near St. Petersburg

5/5 from 3 reviews
Photo of Greg Woodruff Greg Woodruff "Whether he’s playing one of his 6-string or 12-string guitars while he’s singing, Greg Woodruff grooves covers in addition to original songs and often with a timed kick or head twist that has become his signature as he makes eye contact with his fans. He has presence. As a young artist, he’s also getting into adding historical context to his play list choices and that also engages his audiences. He’s been taking small local venues and making them his own but watch out as he’s starting to team up with other musicians, which creates a richer sound experience: He’s going places and smiling all the way!" Based in St. Petersburg, Florida Debbie Wolfe Photo of Charlie Acoustic Soloist Charlie Acoustic Soloist "I searched far and wide for the perfect wedding singer. After 4 or so months I found Charlie and knew she was the one. She has the most angelic voice and such a beautiful energy to her. Planning everything with her was so easy and smooth and I really appreciated Charlie’s flexibility and patience when we had to change the scheduling and when we had a last minute venue change due to extreme weather. I still tear up watching my wedding video when Charlie sings as the bridal party walks down the aisle." Based in Clearwater, Florida (15 miles from St. Petersburg) 10th November 2026 Mary M - Private wedding Photo of Flamenco & Latin Fusion: Music & Dance Flamenco & Latin Fusion: Music & Dance "We had the BEST time thanks to this talented group of musicians! I mean, the food was great too, but by far they were the stars of the evening. I cannot say enough good things about them, from the dancer's beautiful outfit, their punctuality, their enthusiasm, their professionalism. I sent them a song "wishlist" ahead of time, and nearly all of the songs were either sung or the original versions played during their break. The singer was sensational, he also played the cajón (percussion), then there was the beautiful flamenco dancer who also did the "palmas" (hand clapping) and ended up dancing the Sevilllnas with a group of us (we had forgotten some of the steps, so she helped us, like a teacher!), and then of course the guitarist who was absolutely brilliant, too. Our event would not have been as special without them. Although some of the songs they sang/played came from the wishlist, others came from the musicians themselves who, understanding their audience, came up with songs that surprised and delighted us. I am actually trying to come up with a made-up celebration to have them come back to Lutz. Paying off a credit card maybe? Anyway, this was an unforgetable party. Thank you, Samuel, for putting it all together so brilliantly!" Based in Tampa, Florida (18 miles from St. Petersburg) 15th October 2026 Nathalia Assaad - Lutz wedding Photo of Rob Ryan Acoustic Entertainment Rob Ryan Acoustic Entertainment "Rob was terrific! Engaged EVERYONE at the event. Very professional and funny. Would definitely recommend!" Based in Land O' Lakes, Florida (34 miles from St. Petersburg) Dana Olmsted - Labor Day Party Photo of Cat Valentine Cat Valentine "Cat played for two events at Timber Pines, the Wisconsin Club and the Pickleball Club. Everyone loved her!! She engages with the audience and makes everyone feel so welcome!! Cat is the most beautiful person inside and out! I highly recommend hiring Cat to play at your next event. You won't be sorry. Cathi Ellingson" Based in Hudson, Florida (41 miles from St. Petersburg) Cathi Ellingson - Pickleball Party Photo of Jim Gabelbauer | Event Guitarist Jim Gabelbauer | Event Guitarist "Jim was a pleasure to work with and exceeded expectations. Communication was easy, everything was handled professionally, and the music created the perfect atmosphere for our event. Guests loved the vibe, and we would absolutely work with him again." Based in Orlando, Florida (95 miles from St. Petersburg) 18th March 2026 Emily Carter

Frequently asked questions

The average price for guitarists on Gig Heaven is $370, with rates ranging from $140 to $1,150+. 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.

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

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.
