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.

Nícolàs “El Rom”
"Absolutely fantastic. Right up there with performances we saw in Spain."
The Bierkellers
"Many thanks for making the surprise party such a great event. My wife was really impressed with the band and said it was one of her most memorable birthdays. We’ll be in touch for our event next year too, good luck with the new band."
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."
The Wild Sons
"Huge thank you to The Wild Sons for being such a huge part of our wedding day! ❤️ They were incredibly talented, absolutely amazing during our reception drinks, and really brought the whole evening to life. Everyone loved them, and the dance floor was never empty — they had everyone up dancing and created such an incredible atmosphere!
They also went above and beyond by capturing some beautiful moments throughout the day, which was such a lovely and unexpected touch. One of my absolute favourites was during our first dance, with the sunset shining through — such a magical moment that we’ll treasure forever.
Thank you so much for helping make our day so special and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better band to be part of our wedding! ❤️✨"

Dee Violinist - Electric Violin Show
"There are moments in life that you would want to return to endlessly, and our wedding was one of them, thanks also to you. It is hard to find words that express how very grateful we are to you. From the first moments you created an atmosphere full of joy, emotion, smiles and incredible energy. Your music, your voices, your commitment and the heart you put into what you do made this evening even more beautiful than we could have dreamed.Looking at the guests having fun, feeling this special atmosphere and experiencing every moment, we knew one thing – we could not have chosen better! You gave us something far more than a wonderful musical backdrop. You gave us emotions, memories and moments that will stay in our hearts forever.If we could turn back time and live this day again, we would not change absolutely anything, and we would choose you again without the slightest hesitation! Thank you for being part of our story. You made that one, unique evening so special. There are people who make music, and there are those who touch the deepest corners of the heart and soul with their music. You definitely belong to the second group. You don't just play and sing, you make people feel the music, experience it with their whole being and remember it forever.You have something extraordinary in you – you can bring tears of emotion, and a moment later fill the heart with pure joy. It is a gift that cannot be taught. You have to have it within you. ❤️ Thank you with all our hearts. Edyta and Maciek"
