Gabriel is a great guitarist and wonderful person! We asked for recommendations on a first dance and he was able to send over a cover of a song we chose so we can practice! Our guests loved having his aspect to our small wedding from the ceremony music to dancing afterwards. Gabriel was also very communicative leading up to the day, and I couldn't imagine our wedding without him! A really nice Latin influence to our wedding!

About booking Guitarists in Oakland, CA

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. High-quality guitar players with years of experience will often charge higher rates than those just starting out. Their repertoire may also play a part in their pricing – someone who covers popular songs might charge a different price than a singer-songwriter who performs original music. Contact local guitarists above to get quotes customized for your event.
