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 14,159 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.

Claudia Dorado - Classic Guitar
"Claudia was amazing. She is an extraordinarily talented guitarist, playing classical guitar. She was also a pleasure to deal with, communicative, reliable, friendly and amenable. She played Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring as I walked down the aisle and it was glorious. She agreed to learn a few songs we liked to add some Spanish guitar versions of pop songs for the reception (eg Love of My Life - by Queen), and they were beautiful. We would highly recommend her."
Soo Sings
"Soo was absolutely amazing. She is very talented and has a beautiful voice. She sang for our memory care senior residents. She was great with managing the crowed and encouraging them to engage with the music. We loved having her in the building and will definitely book again in the future. Thank you Soo!"
For the Audience of One
"Absolutely incredible! Nerina’s voice was exceptional and truly touched our hearts. Her beautiful singing, accompanied by Juan’s gentle sound of the guitar, created such a warm and special atmosphere at our wedding.
The highlight for us was the beautiful, personalised song they performed especially for our son and daughter-in-law. It was such a meaningful and emotional moment that we will treasure forever.
Thank you, Nerina and Juan, for creating such a magical memory for our family. Your talent and passion were extraordinary, and we couldn’t recommend you highly enough! ❤️"
Draconis Knight aka Tiana La Vida
"He created such a vibe and made everyone feel proud to be a South African with his Music. He is amazing, listened to instructions and was very thorough. He was punctual, a crowd listener, and played to what the crowd wanted to hear. He is so amazing to work with."
The Vows
"We came across The Vows initially on Instagram and went to see them play at The Quarter at Potbank about a year for before our wedding day. Straight away we knew they were the band for us. Their repertoire was amazing and just what we wanted. Also a massive thank you to them for learning a completely new song to play for our first dance, it couldn't have been easy but it sounded so good. They have been excellent from start to finish and the band even helped my wife organise a surprise saxophonist (Oli) to keep the party going after the band's two amazing hour long sets. Nothing has been one bit difficult with them and everyone at our wedding said the band were fantastic. 10/10 would definitely recommend."
Bevan David
"Bevan knows how to bring the right atmosphere to the event.
He is calm friendly and professional, and he can play a wide range of music to make you nostalgic all the way to current fresh sounds!"
