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 14,184 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."

Achy
"Achy was absolutely amazing at my birthday party! He has such an incredible voice, the kind that makes you fall in love with his music from the very first song! But beyond his beautiful voice, he has the most wonderful energy and charisma.
He literally stole the show and made the entire night unforgettable! Everyone was singing, smiling, dancing, and having the best time!
I honestly couldn’t have made a better choice! Thank you, Achy, for bringing so much magic, joy, and incredible vibes to my special day. I would choose you a thousand times over and recommend you wholeheartedly!"
The Wanderers
"Highly recommended! We hired The Wanderers for a dual birthday bash at our home, and they were absolutely the hit of the party. They have an extensive song catalogue to choose from, played the songs we wanted, sounded fantastic, are fun people and even invited our daughter, who sings in a band, to join them as lead singer for a song, which made the night even more special for us. They had the entire crowd engaged, whether they were dancing, clapping along, or just enjoying the music. We heard so many compliments from our guests about the band. Just as importantly, they were incredibly easy to work with, flexible, and accommodating of everything we needed. Incredible musicians and incredible people. We couldn’t have been happier with them and would hire them again in a heartbeat."
DJ Robinho
"Robin accompanied us for two days (Get Together + wedding) and far exceeded our expectations. There could not have been a better DJ for us. The atmosphere was excellent from start to finish, and Robin managed to keep our guests and ourselves continuously (on both days) on the dance floor in the best and most exuberant mood. So many guests (rightly) spoke to us about our great DJ!!
And already in advance Robin took so much time to understand what ideas we have, and he also always contributed his own ideas! That's exactly what we needed! Robin is also very likeable! What more could one want? Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!"
"Elise and the Gioboys"
"The trio was absolutely wonderful. They were exactly what we were looking for for our wedding: a heartfelt atmosphere for the bride and groom’s entrance, a joyful atmosphere for the cocktail hour, and the highlight of the evening with the party set at the end of the night. Their repertoire was varied and perfectly suited to what we were looking for. Thank you for your professionalism, punctuality, and kindness.
