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.

Tim Plays Tunes
"Tim was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Played a great mixture of songs to accommodate all ages. Would highly recommend for any function."
The Wild Sons
"Huge thank you to The Wild Sons for being such a huge part of our wedding day! ❤️ They were incredibly talented, absolutely amazing during our reception drinks, and really brought the whole evening to life. Everyone loved them, and the dance floor was never empty — they had everyone up dancing and created such an incredible atmosphere!
They also went above and beyond by capturing some beautiful moments throughout the day, which was such a lovely and unexpected touch. One of my absolute favourites was during our first dance, with the sunset shining through — such a magical moment that we’ll treasure forever.
Thank you so much for helping make our day so special and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better band to be part of our wedding! ❤️✨"

"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.
