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 14,212 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."

"Meghana and Shreya were one of the highlights of our 75th birthday celebration. Their music brought generations together, and the audience loved singing along to familiar songs. They were organized, easy to communicate with, and genuinely invested in making the event successful. We received many compliments from our guests and highly recommend them for birthdays, anniversaries, and community events."

The Vows
"We came across The Vows initially on Instagram and went to see them play at The Quarter at Potbank about a year for before our wedding day. Straight away we knew they were the band for us. Their repertoire was amazing and just what we wanted. Also a massive thank you to them for learning a completely new song to play for our first dance, it couldn't have been easy but it sounded so good. They have been excellent from start to finish and the band even helped my wife organise a surprise saxophonist (Oli) to keep the party going after the band's two amazing hour long sets. Nothing has been one bit difficult with them and everyone at our wedding said the band were fantastic. 10/10 would definitely recommend."

"Very pleasant, cozy music. Real Dixieland music. Great to listen to for an hour. There is sometimes dancing!"
The Queen Bees
"As a singer-songwriter myself, I was particularly excited to discover The Queen Bees. I loved the idea of having an all-female roaming band at our wedding, something you don't come across every day! They were even better than I had imagined. Their energy, musical talent and beautiful harmonies were incredible, and they had everyone dancing. We were so happy to have chosen them!"
