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.

Uptown Coverband
"When we first contacted Yukio to ask if the uptown cover band could play at our company party in The Hague, we clicked immediately. All our wishes were discussed and accommodated. The evening itself was fantastic! Great music from this seven-piece band. It was a fantastic performance. Very dynamic with stunning lighting effects. The audience was very enthusiastic. I look forward to the next party!"
Gane Naye Purane-Bollywood, Ghazal, Bhajan
"Meghana and Shreya were one of the highlights of our 75th birthday celebration. Their music brought generations together, and the audience loved singing along to familiar songs. They were organized, easy to communicate with, and genuinely invested in making the event successful. We received many compliments from our guests and highly recommend them for birthdays, anniversaries, and community events."
Saxofonist Robert Lamme
"We booked Robert for our student gala. He was very strong in quality and his music fitted well with the atmosphere. In the communication beforehand he was very accommodating and constructive. Definitely a recommendation for your gala or other activity!"
Mike Mazzola
"Coming from the United States, it's hard to find bands that can do both Italian and American music. They absolutely KILLED IT! Everyone had such a fun time and I attribute this to them being incredible musicians and having such a fun time. From the violin, the guitar, the saxophone, drums, the DJ and the rest!
I highly recommend them – they were so easy to work with!"
Verona Meza
"Verona Meza is a professional and versatile singer, offering live music for a variety of events and occasions. With a powerful voice and a passion for music, she creates a special atmosphere and memorable experiences for every audience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for live entertainment!"
Max Thomson / TOMMO
"We invited Max in for a small selection of piano pieces so we could see what his performances would be like. We were so impressed! The music filled the large reception area with delight, and the small audience were captivated. Max was a natural on the keys, he played with care and attention, and his personality shone through. The residents commented on his polite manner and his maturity for such a young age. Before Max left, he took the time to chat with the residents, and we discussed two future bookings before Christmas. One resident chose Max to play on her birthday. Snap this great entertainer up before he is fully booked - you won't be disappointed."
