Based in Alexandria, Minnesota (417 miles from Milwaukee) 4th October 2026 Cami - Private birthday event Photo of John Anthony Ferrer John Anthony Ferrer "I have hired John Anthony Ferrer to entertain my sorority reunion guests at the Bean Runner Cafe. Is amazing guitar playing as well as classic songs and popular pop tunes. John's hand the guitar really comes alive as well as the songs he plays. John is a real Rock Star, playing tunes from the Jazz era and then switching to the Pop songs of the last few decades. Then playing Blues before going into some romantic Bossa Nova. I also hired him to host and play guitar for 2022 New York Miss Teen pageant contestants. It wasn't long before he had the beautiful young ladies dancing and singing to the songs he played. A highlight to their busy schedule. To sum it up, John Anthony Ferrer's guitar wizardry will amaze you."

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for jazz guitarists ranges from $160 to $1,350+, with an average of $470. Rates depend on the guitarist's experience, performance duration and whether the booking is for a solo performance, a duo or a larger ensemble. Jazz guitarists are a popular choice for background music at receptions, dinners and cocktail events.

The jazz guitarists for hire perform a range of jazz styles including swing, bossa nova, gypsy jazz, smooth jazz, bebop and jazz-funk. Many also cover popular songs and standards in a jazz style. The jazz guitar has a warm, mellow tone that suits both background and featured performances.

Common events for jazz guitarists include cocktail receptions, corporate dinners, wedding ceremonies, restaurant entertainment and private parties. A solo jazz guitarist provides sophisticated, unobtrusive live music that enhances the atmosphere without overpowering conversation.

Many jazz guitarists offer flexible formats including solo performances, duo or trio settings (often with double bass and drums), and as part of larger jazz ensembles. It is advisable to discuss the best format for your event and venue.

For intimate settings, many jazz guitarists can perform without amplification. For larger venues or events with background noise, a small amplifier is typically used. Most jazz guitarists bring their own equipment. For the best experience, confirm the setup based on the venue.

Sitting in with an existing line-up is normal work for jazz players, who are used to reading charts and following a standard repertoire with little rehearsal. Agreeing a set list, or at least a shared songbook, is what makes it work. Where the other musicians are booked separately, say so at the enquiry stage, as it changes what the guitarist prepares.

A solo player normally works in sets of around 45 minutes with short breaks between them, and unbroken playing across a long dinner is quoted differently. Whether the music has to be continuous is worth deciding early, since it changes both the fee and whether a second player is worth adding. Most will say how long they can comfortably play in one stretch if asked.

A single guitar suits rooms of up to around a hundred guests once amplified, beyond which the sound thins against the noise of a crowd. For larger events players usually suggest adding a second instrument rather than turning the volume up. Guest numbers and room size are what decide this, not the style of music being played.

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.

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.
