A guide to booking

Hire Musical Acts

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 14,182 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.

Bands for Every Style

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 Musicians and Singers

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.

DJs and Vocal Groups

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 and World Music

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.

Pricing for Live Music

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. Request quotes from several acts to compare options for your budget.

We booked her to play background music for an outdoor wine-tasting event at a vineyard, and she was absolutely wonderful. She is remarkably talented and flexible musician with a lovely, elegant presentation. Even though it was an outdoor setting with unpredictable conditions, she brought all her own gear and made sure the sound was flawless. Switching between the saxophone and the flute, she created a magical athmosphere that gave our event a wonderful extra touch. Her playlist was spot on, and everyone loved it. I am already looking forward to working with her again!"

Based in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa 12th October 2026 Trevor Prince - 21st Birthday party,Welgelegen Photo of Farja 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!" Based in Málaga, Andalusia, Spain 14th October 2026 Corey & Lauren - Wedding Photo of The Wanderers 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." Based in San Jose, California, United States 20th October 2026 Sam Klepper - Birthday party
