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 14,236 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.

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."

Thank you Christophe!"
Hilóczki Zsuzsanna
"I highly recommend Zsuzsi for any event! We booked her to play background music for an outdoor wine-tasting event at a vineyard, and she was absolutely wonderful. She is remarkably talented and flexible musician with a lovely, elegant presentation. Even though it was an outdoor setting with unpredictable conditions, she brought all her own gear and made sure the sound was flawless. Switching between the saxophone and the flute, she created a magical athmosphere that gave our event a wonderful extra touch. Her playlist was spot on, and everyone loved it. I am already looking forward to working with her again!"
For the Audience of One
"Absolutely incredible! Nerina’s voice was exceptional and truly touched our hearts. Her beautiful singing, accompanied by Juan’s gentle sound of the guitar, created such a warm and special atmosphere at our wedding.
The highlight for us was the beautiful, personalised song they performed especially for our son and daughter-in-law. It was such a meaningful and emotional moment that we will treasure forever.
Thank you, Nerina and Juan, for creating such a magical memory for our family. Your talent and passion were extraordinary, and we couldn’t recommend you highly enough! ❤️"
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 Joshua Silbert Combo
"Josh is a true professional to work with. He has great attention to detail and keeps the party going. As an event planner, I truly appreciate how well he works, and communicates with, other vendors. Above all else, he always puts the client first. Being a musician himself, he is a wealth of knowledge about music."
