Made my special day memorable!
I hired Raj to be the guitarist for my outdoor wedding venue. My venue was a bit remote and the location didn’t allow amplifiers, but Raj made it out to the site and serenaded my wedding party in the Redwood forest. He played beautifully and was able to accommodate my song requests. Thanks again Raj for trekking out to my ceremony site and helping make the environment feel peaceful and joyful with your music!

Professional, Punctual, true Musical Artist!
Tom arrived early and brought everything he needed to play a selected piece (normally played by two guitarists) along with prelude/dinner music . My husband’s Celebration-of-Life was extra special because of Tom’s music! Would highly recommend!

Great Performer
Tom was great for our dining room guitarist- He can play a mixture of latin & classic hits and also plays modern songs that still cater to our audience- like Post Malone. Highly recommend him for acoustic guitar music.
Guitar music can create a beautiful atmosphere for almost any event. Book a guitarist to play live music at your restaurant or dinner party. They can also perform background music for corporate events and cocktail hours. And of course, an acoustic guitarist can provide the perfect accompaniment for wedding ceremonies. You can find all types of professional guitarists, from electric to classical to acoustic guitar players, on GigSalad!
The cost of hiring a guitarist and/or vocalist in Oakland, California will vary depending on the type of event, the performance length, and the musician’s skill level.
