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 14,163 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.

Farja
"Farja was absolutely fantastic at our wedding at Cortijo Bravo, Málaga, on 5th October 2026. Her performance during our cocktail hour was incredible and added such a special touch to our day.
From the beginning, she was friendly, professional and a pleasure to work with. Her communication was great, and she made everything so easy in the lead-up to the wedding. Her voice was absolutely beautiful, and she created the perfect atmosphere for our guests to relax, enjoy themselves and celebrate with us.
She also worked brilliantly alongside Jandor, our DJ, and the other wedding suppliers, helping everything flow seamlessly. It was clear how much she cared about delivering a great performance, and our guests loved her.
We’ve had so many lovely comments about our wedding, and Farja’s singing was definitely one of the highlights. We’re so glad we chose her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any couple looking for a talented singer who will make their wedding feel extra special. Thank you, Farja, for being part of such an unforgettable day!"
Dee Violinist - Electric Violin Show
"There are moments in life that you would want to return to endlessly, and our wedding was one of them, thanks also to you. It is hard to find words that express how very grateful we are to you. From the first moments you created an atmosphere full of joy, emotion, smiles and incredible energy. Your music, your voices, your commitment and the heart you put into what you do made this evening even more beautiful than we could have dreamed.Looking at the guests having fun, feeling this special atmosphere and experiencing every moment, we knew one thing – we could not have chosen better! You gave us something far more than a wonderful musical backdrop. You gave us emotions, memories and moments that will stay in our hearts forever.If we could turn back time and live this day again, we would not change absolutely anything, and we would choose you again without the slightest hesitation! Thank you for being part of our story. You made that one, unique evening so special. There are people who make music, and there are those who touch the deepest corners of the heart and soul with their music. You definitely belong to the second group. You don't just play and sing, you make people feel the music, experience it with their whole being and remember it forever.You have something extraordinary in you – you can bring tears of emotion, and a moment later fill the heart with pure joy. It is a gift that cannot be taught. You have to have it within you. ❤️ Thank you with all our hearts. Edyta and Maciek"
Fierce Weddings
"We had this amazing 3-piece band for day two of our wedding in billy byrnes and they were absolutely fantastic. They played such a great mix of music that there was something for everyone, and all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed them. They created a brilliant atmosphere from start to finish and kept everyone entertained. We couldn't have asked for a better band and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for live music for an event."
The Wanderers
"Highly recommended! We hired The Wanderers for a dual birthday bash at our home, and they were absolutely the hit of the party. They have an extensive song catalogue to choose from, played the songs we wanted, sounded fantastic, are fun people and even invited our daughter, who sings in a band, to join them as lead singer for a song, which made the night even more special for us. They had the entire crowd engaged, whether they were dancing, clapping along, or just enjoying the music. We heard so many compliments from our guests about the band. Just as importantly, they were incredibly easy to work with, flexible, and accommodating of everything we needed. Incredible musicians and incredible people. We couldn’t have been happier with them and would hire them again in a heartbeat."
