A guide to booking

Hire Musical Acts

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 14,185 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.

Bands for Every Style

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 Musicians and Singers

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.

DJs and Vocal Groups

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 and World Music

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.

Pricing for Live Music

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. Request quotes from several acts to compare options for your budget.

5/5 from 26,875 reviews
Photo of Tyler Levy Jazz Band Tyler Levy Jazz Band "We hired Tyler Levy Jazz Band for our corporate retreat dinner and were very happy with our choice! Their pre-event communication was clear and thorough, they arrived early, they dressed perfectly for the occasion and presented a very professional demeanor, and their music was perfect. They scheduled their contracted breaks at times which were convenient for our agenda and they required no intervention on our part. They made the whole experience very easy and enjoyable for our staff and attendees!" Based in Atlanta, Georgia, United States 4th October 2026 Deena C. - Corporate Event Photo of Café Crème Café Crème "Band fantastica were exceptional, they enlivened our wedding and made it a real celebration, cheerful, likeable and true professionals" Translated from Italian Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region, France 8th October 2026 Bettina Photo of The Supersonics 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!"

Played Sax and Bass guitar on my personal songs for my live show, what an amazing talent ! Made my event a memorable one ! 😅 Thank you Leerocks!! You rock indeed 🙏" Based in Randburg, Gauteng, South Africa 21st October 2026 Novuyo seagirl Dube - Live show Photo of Ben Faze | DJ & Sax | Event- & Wedding-DJ 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!" Based in Costa Teguise, Canary Islands, Spain 21st October 2026 Chrissi & André - Wedding
