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 14,074 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.

Tim Plays Tunes
"Tim was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Played a great mixture of songs to accommodate all ages. Would highly recommend for any function."
Eric Tchaikovsky
"From my very first encounter with Eric Tchaikovsky, I knew I was dealing with a musical professional – someone who feels, understands, masters and above all lives the international language of music.
For exactly this reason, I decided to collaborate with Eric. His task was not an easy one: he was to musically accompany one of the most important days of our lives for an international audience and turn it into a celebration that brings together people of the most diverse backgrounds and generations.
Everyone knows: a celebration stands and falls with the music. My decision for Eric was initially a gut decision. Because sometimes you can tell from the very first meeting that you're on the same wavelength with someone – and that's exactly the feeling I had with him.
However, what particularly impressed me: Eric doesn't rely solely on his musical instinct and his enormous know-how. He thoroughly engaged with us beforehand, asked targeted questions, wanted to know who our guests were, what they liked, where they came from and what atmosphere we wanted for this special evening.
And that's exactly what I appreciate so much about Eric Tchaikovsky: he knows that musical instinct is one thing – but that in the end it's always about the people. He doesn't just play music. He observes, senses the mood, responds to the people and is 100 percent there for them in that moment.
The result was one of the most beautiful and uninhibited evenings of our lives. The dance floor was full, the mood was fantastic – and even weeks later we received calls and messages from our guests telling us how unforgettable this celebration was for them and that they hadn't danced so much and so freely in a long time.
Eric, thank you for your professionalism, your sense for people and music, and for contributing such an important part to this unforgettable evening."
The Gentlemen - Roaming Band
"The Gentleman absolutely made our wedding day unforgettable!
We were super happy with everything — from start to finish, they created the perfect atmosphere and vibe. Their song choices were spot-on, and every performance felt personal and full of energy. So many of our guests told us how amazing the music was — it truly was the highlight of the wedding!
If you’re looking for a band that brings top-quality sound, style, and an incredible live experience, The Gentleman are it. Thank you for making our day so special!"
The Supersonics
"We chose this band for our wedding and we couldn't have made a better choice.
Unfortunately, my husband and I didn't enjoy their performance much during the aperitif because we were busy greeting guests and taking photos, but during dinner they were simply extraordinary. Despite the delays that accumulated throughout the day, they managed everything with professionalism, energy and great engagement.
We received so many compliments from the guests and, honestly, we would like to relive our wedding just to be able to listen to them even more! Their talent definitely exceeds expectations: the videos and content on social media don't fully give an idea of how talented, engaging and capable they are of creating a unique atmosphere.
Beyond the musical quality, we really appreciated their availability, flexibility and professionalism during the entire organization.
A huge thank you to the whole band for helping make our day even more special. We recommend them without hesitation to anyone organizing a wedding or an important event.
Hopefully we'll see you again soon... maybe to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary!"
