Live music sets the tone for any event. The right act transforms a reception, dinner or party from ordinary to memorable, giving guests something to talk about long after the night ends. With 13693 musicians, bands, DJs and singers listed across dozens of specialist categories, finding the right fit starts with knowing what kind of sound you are after.
For weddings and private parties, wedding bands, cover bands and party bands remain the most popular choices, performing crowd-pleasing setlists that keep dance floors full. If you want something more specific, categories like jazz bands, soul bands and funk bands each bring a distinct energy. Rock fans can explore indie bands or rock bands, while country bands suit rustic and outdoor events. Those planning themed evenings might look at swing bands or decade-specific acts from the 1920s right through to the modern era.
Solo performers offer flexibility and are often ideal for ceremonies, drinks receptions and more intimate settings. Guitarists, pianists, harpists and saxophone players are among the most in-demand solo acts. Singing guitarists combine vocals with acoustic accompaniment for a full sound without a full band. Wedding singers and wedding musicians specialise in ceremony and reception performances, while string quartets and classical ensembles provide an elegant backdrop. Violinists and cellists also work well as featured performers during the meal or reception.
A skilled DJ can read a room and adapt on the fly. Wedding DJs and event DJs handle everything from background music to late-night sets, often providing their own sound and lighting equipment. For something different, the sax and DJ format pairs a live instrumentalist with a DJ for a modern, high-energy combination. Vocal groups are another strong option: a cappella groups, gospel groups and choirs bring a rich, layered sound that works particularly well for ceremonies and corporate events.
Tribute acts give your event a ready-made theme. Tribute bands cover everything from ABBA and Queen to Elvis and the Beatles, with acts that recreate the look and sound of the originals. For cultural events, the world music categories include Indian and Bollywood entertainment, Latin, salsa and mariachi, Irish and Scottish entertainment, Spanish and flamenco, and many more regional styles.
Rates vary widely depending on the type of act, group size and event requirements. Solo musicians and DJs generally sit at the lower end of the price range, starting from $110. Full bands, large ensembles and specialist tribute acts typically cost more. The average rate across all musical act categories is $450, with prices reaching $1,700+ for premium acts or extended performance packages.

Oluwatosin Dwise
"We had the pleasure of inviting Oluwatosin Dwise to minister at our 50th Birthday Praise Night, and it was truly a remarkable experience. From the moment he arrived, he demonstrated professionalism, humility, and excellent communication. His worship session created a powerful atmosphere that deeply touched everyone in attendance. His vocals, stage presence, and interaction with the audience were outstanding, and he ministered with genuine passion and excellence. Our guests were blessed, and many commented on how uplifting the worship was. We highly recommend Oluwatosin Dwise for praise nights, church programs, concerts, and special celebrations. We look forward to inviting him again for future events."
Jon Rebbeck
"Jon was amazing! We initially hired Jon for our welcome party and asked for “Ibiza, easy-going vibes.” He completely delivered, creating the perfect atmosphere and getting everyone into the mood.
But Jon really became the MVP of our wedding weekend when our band had to cancel on the morning of our wedding due to nearby wildfire evacuations. Our planner called Jon, and he immediately agreed to step in that same evening.
He played alongside our DJ, seamlessly creating an incredible atmosphere and getting the dance floor started within minutes. Despite having never met our DJ and having very little time to prepare, he was completely professional and delivered a fantastic performance.
Jon truly saved the day and gave us the live music we had dreamed of for our wedding. We’ll always be grateful for him stepping in at such short notice. We couldn’t recommend Jon highly enough!"
Rico Scott
"From our very first chat, Rico went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. He was so easy to work with, genuinely cared about making our day special, and made the whole process feel effortless.
Then came the wedding day, and wow. His performance completely exceeded every expectation we had. Walking down the aisle was one of the most emotional moments of our lives, and Rico's vocals made it even more incredible. There were chills, there were tears, and it honestly felt like something out of a movie.
The compliments didn't stop all night. Our guests absolutely loved him and were constantly asking who he was and where we'd found him. So many people told us afterwards how amazing he was and how much he added to the atmosphere of the day.
Rico is not only incredibly talented, but he's also a genuinely lovely person who truly cares about what he does. We couldn't have imagined our wedding without him and would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat."
Wedding pianist Lake Garda
"We chose Paolo to provide the musical accompaniment for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I can truly say he is a fantastic professional; he guided us through selecting the songs with great professionalism, welcoming and accommodating all of our requests. The pieces he played made every single moment feel truly magical"
Back in Scott
"Back in Scott (AC/DC Experience) - visiting from Ireland, the band performed in Combourg, France in June 2026. Best, most committed Bon Scott cover band I have yet seen. Long live Breton Rockers."
Kaan Agaoglu
"Kaan was incredibly easy to work with from the first conversation. He understood the atmosphere we wanted and kept the dance floor full all night. The music selection was perfect, and the whole process felt very professional."
