Peter exceeded all expectations. He was ready to go well in advance of our guests arriving and did a fantastic job maintaining the right level of music......always tough if your guests have to struggle to listen or talk when dealing with music that is too loud. His guitar skills were evident and added to the overall success of our party for 25/ppl. Well done Peter.....we would not hesitate to recommend or have you back for a future event!

About booking Guitarists in Sarasota, FL

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 Sarasota, Florida 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.
