Your Guide to Hiring a Guitarist

A singer with an acoustic guitar fills a room without taking it over. It suits the parts of a Perth event where people want to talk: arrivals, a long lunch, dinner on a terrace, or the first hour of a work function before the speeches.

Some performers here also play recorded music between live sets, which keeps sound going through the breaks and can carry the night into dancing with one booking. Starting packages begin from $500.

What to compare between guitarists:

Format: solo voice and guitar, or live brackets with DJ music filling the gaps between them.
Repertoire: ask for a song list, and whether they will learn a request for a first dance or a toast.
Sound: a small PA suits a courtyard or dining room; a big space or an outdoor lawn needs more.
Timing: how many sets, how long each runs, and when they arrive to sound-check.
Setting: a sheltered spot out of the sun and the afternoon sea breeze protects voice, strings and gear.
Area: coverage takes in the metropolitan regions plus the Perth Hills and the Swan Valley, though not Mandurah or Rockingham.

For a fuller sound, see live bands; for dancing later, add DJs, or plan around wedding receptions and Christmas parties.

Swan Valley and Hills lunches, where conversation matters more than volume.
Ceremonies and pre-dinner gatherings, before a DJ takes over.
Work events with a networking hour, where music fills the silence without stopping people talking.
Smaller milestone birthdays at home, where a full band would swamp the room.

Planning the sets

Agree which songs mark key moments, such as an entrance, a toast or the cake.
Leave room for breaks; most performers play in brackets with rests between.
Tell the performer about the crowd's ages so the mix suits everyone.
In summer, schedule outdoor sets later in the afternoon and provide shade and water.

Answers to Common Guitarist Questions

How much does a guitarist cost for a Perth event?

Packages here start from $500. The final price depends on hours, the number of sets and whether DJ music between sets is included.

Can an acoustic guitarist also cover the dancing part of the night?

Some do, by playing recorded dance music between and after live sets. Ask how they switch over and whether any lighting comes with it.

Will a Perth guitarist play in the Hills or the Swan Valley?

Yes, both are within the listed coverage here. Mandurah and Rockingham are not, so ask first if your venue is on the Southern Coast.

Does a solo guitarist need a microphone and speakers?

For anything beyond a small room, yes. Most bring a compact PA; check that it suits your guest numbers and that the venue has power nearby.

Can I request a song for a first dance or a toast?

Most performers will learn a request given enough notice. Send it a few weeks ahead and confirm the arrangement before the day.
