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 14,168 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.
