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."
Hilóczki Zsuzsanna
"I highly recommend Zsuzsi for any event! 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!"

Ben Faze | DJ & Sax | Event- & Wedding-DJ
"This review is for everyone who's looking to book a DJ and has no idea who to choose: BOOK THIS DJ!!!! Ben played at our wedding and absolutely delivered. All our guests were thrilled and kept telling us what an amazing party it was. Even the staff asked where the DJ was from.
All the communication was relaxed and friendly, and even last-minute arrangements were no problem. What really won us over were the incredibly smooth transitions between the songs. Ben was always close to the DJ booth and easy for guests to approach at any time (for song requests). He has a first-class feel for the mood on the dance floor and knows exactly which songs to play when – so the dance floor was never empty.
Thank you, Ben, for making our party so unique!"
