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.

Eric Tchaikovsky
"From my very first encounter with Eric Tchaikovsky, I knew I was dealing with a musical professional – someone who feels, understands, masters and above all lives the international language of music.
For exactly this reason, I decided to collaborate with Eric. His task was not an easy one: he was to musically accompany one of the most important days of our lives for an international audience and turn it into a celebration that brings together people of the most diverse backgrounds and generations.
Everyone knows: a celebration stands and falls with the music. My decision for Eric was initially a gut decision. Because sometimes you can tell from the very first meeting that you're on the same wavelength with someone – and that's exactly the feeling I had with him.
However, what particularly impressed me: Eric doesn't rely solely on his musical instinct and his enormous know-how. He thoroughly engaged with us beforehand, asked targeted questions, wanted to know who our guests were, what they liked, where they came from and what atmosphere we wanted for this special evening.
And that's exactly what I appreciate so much about Eric Tchaikovsky: he knows that musical instinct is one thing – but that in the end it's always about the people. He doesn't just play music. He observes, senses the mood, responds to the people and is 100 percent there for them in that moment.
The result was one of the most beautiful and uninhibited evenings of our lives. The dance floor was full, the mood was fantastic – and even weeks later we received calls and messages from our guests telling us how unforgettable this celebration was for them and that they hadn't danced so much and so freely in a long time.
Eric, thank you for your professionalism, your sense for people and music, and for contributing such an important part to this unforgettable evening."

Midnight Shakers
"We had the pleasure of listening to Midnight Shakers Musical Duo on our recent birthday/ Wedding Anniversary cruise. They played such an eclectic set of music, at each performance, and each set was unique. Daisy and JJ were extremely personable and interacted with the audience making everyone feel part of the performance. They definitely came across as doing something they love and it wasn't 'just a job'. They made our celebratory cruise so special and we have cherished memories thanks to both Daisy and JJ."

Farja
"Farja was absolutely fantastic at our wedding at Cortijo Bravo, Málaga, on 5th October 2026. Her performance during our cocktail hour was incredible and added such a special touch to our day.
From the beginning, she was friendly, professional and a pleasure to work with. Her communication was great, and she made everything so easy in the lead-up to the wedding. Her voice was absolutely beautiful, and she created the perfect atmosphere for our guests to relax, enjoy themselves and celebrate with us.
She also worked brilliantly alongside Jandor, our DJ, and the other wedding suppliers, helping everything flow seamlessly. It was clear how much she cared about delivering a great performance, and our guests loved her.
We’ve had so many lovely comments about our wedding, and Farja’s singing was definitely one of the highlights. We’re so glad we chose her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any couple looking for a talented singer who will make their wedding feel extra special. Thank you, Farja, for being part of such an unforgettable day!"
