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.

Kal Robson
"I have been to several events and shows, and it is simply wonderful. Music of very good taste and an incredible sound."
Stephen Guy Daltry
"We booked Stephen for a Celebration lunch and he was brilliant, turned the event from something ordinary to outstanding. We gave him some ideas of what music we liked and he put together the play lists to deliver an excellent musical experience. We will definitely use him again."
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."
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."
LL Sings
"She was INCREDIBLE! It was the exact vibe that I was looking for and LL Sings nailed it. I wanted a soul singer that can bring the energy and tunes, she did exactly that. She brought the room to life and really made the event shine."
Space Antelope - Phish tribute
"Space Antelope blew the doors off a 2.5 hour show for my husband’s 50th birthday at a local restaurant/music venue. We provided a “dream setlist” and they were able to deliver mostly everything if not for time constraints. Crowd of about 40-50 adults and even non-Phish fans were digging it. Great communication, no issues on day of the show, set up and breakdown went smoothly. But honestly the music is the draw here….too notch and just a fantastic band."
