Everything planners and hosts ask before booking live Spanish guitar for their Bay Area event.
We offer several configurations, each creating a different atmosphere. Solo Spanish guitar provides an intimate, elegant backdrop ideal for ceremonies and smaller gatherings. A guitar duo adds a second voice, bringing warmth and depth to cocktail hours and receptions. Trio Paz — two guitars and percussion — delivers the energy and presence that fills larger venues and outdoor celebrations.
For bigger events, we expand to quartet or quintet with additional instruments like bass, saxophone, flute, or vocals. And for a truly dramatic moment, we offer full flamenco shows with dancers.
We specialize in weddings, corporate events, winery gatherings, private celebrations, and memorial services. The common thread is that our clients are looking for more than background sound — they want an atmosphere that elevates the experience for their guests.
Whether it's a vineyard ceremony in Napa, a product launch in San Francisco, or an intimate anniversary dinner in Carmel, the music is designed to match the emotional arc of your event.
We're based in the San Francisco Bay Area and perform throughout Northern California. Our most frequent venues are in Napa Valley, Sonoma County, San Francisco, the Peninsula, Silicon Valley, Carmel, and Monterey. We also regularly travel to Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, and destinations along the Central Coast.
If your event is outside these areas, reach out and we'll make it work.
Peak wedding season (May through October) and the holiday corporate season (November through December) fill up months ahead. For the best availability, we recommend reaching out three to six months before your event date.
That said, we do accommodate shorter timelines when schedules allow. The sooner you reach out, the more flexibility we have to tailor the experience to your event.
It starts with a conversation. You share the details of your event — the date, venue, timing, and the atmosphere you're after — and we recommend the ensemble and approach that fits best. From there, we send a clear proposal.
Once confirmed with a signed agreement and deposit, your date is held. In the weeks leading up to the event, we coordinate logistics with your planner or venue contact so everything is seamless on the day.
For intimate indoor settings, Spanish guitar can be beautifully effective on its own. For outdoor events, larger spaces, or any venue where ambient noise is a factor, we bring professional-grade sound reinforcement. Our portable system is designed to be unobtrusive — small, clean, and set up well before guests arrive.
We handle all sound logistics so there's nothing for you or your venue coordinator to manage. The goal is always the same: the music feels natural and present without overpowering conversation.
Absolutely. While our core repertoire draws from the Spanish and Latin guitar tradition — flamenco, rumba, bossa nova, classical — we regularly arrange popular songs and personal favorites in the Spanish guitar style. Many couples request a specific song for their processional or first dance, and we're happy to create a custom arrangement.
We'll discuss your preferences during the planning process and can share recordings of arrangements in advance.
Classical guitar performance tends toward formal repertoire played in a concert style. Spanish guitar — particularly the flamenco and rumba traditions we specialize in — is inherently social music. It was born in celebration, in gatherings, in the energy between people. That's what makes it so effective at events.
The rhythms are warm and inviting, the sound carries naturally in outdoor and ambient settings, and the music creates an atmosphere that feels alive without demanding the room's full attention. Your guests feel the difference even if they can't name it.
We design the musical flow around the emotional arc of your event. For a wedding, that might mean soft solo guitar as guests are seated, a specific piece for the processional, understated accompaniment during the ceremony, then a seamless shift into more rhythmic, upbeat music as cocktail hour begins. By reception, the energy builds with the full ensemble.
Every transition is planned in advance and coordinated with your event timeline. There are no awkward silences, no sudden changes in volume — just a natural evolution that carries your guests through each moment.
Yes. We carry general liability insurance and can provide a certificate of insurance (COI) naming your venue or event planner as an additional insured. Most premium venues in the Bay Area require this, and we handle it routinely.
Just let us know the details when you book and we'll have the certificate sent directly to your venue contact.
Tell us about your event and we'll recommend the right ensemble and approach. No obligation, no pressure — just a conversation about what you're looking for.
