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 14,241 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.

"We honestly couldn’t recommend Cecil enough! He was absolutely brilliant and made our wedding day even more special. The saxophone brought such an amazing atmosphere and energy to the day, and our guests loved it.
Cecil was professional, friendly and incredibly talented, and the music was perfect for the occasion. We’ve had so many compliments from our guests about how good he was.
Thank you so much, Cecil, for helping make our wedding day so memorable. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a saxophonist for their special occasion! 🎷🙌🏾"

Mike Mazzola
"Coming from the United States, it's hard to find bands that can do both Italian and American music. They absolutely KILLED IT! Everyone had such a fun time and I attribute this to them being incredible musicians and having such a fun time. From the violin, the guitar, the saxophone, drums, the DJ and the rest!
I highly recommend them – they were so easy to work with!"
Farja
"Farja was absolutely fantastic at our wedding at Cortijo Bravo, Málaga, on 5th October 2026. Her performance during our cocktail hour was incredible and added such a special touch to our day.
From the beginning, she was friendly, professional and a pleasure to work with. Her communication was great, and she made everything so easy in the lead-up to the wedding. Her voice was absolutely beautiful, and she created the perfect atmosphere for our guests to relax, enjoy themselves and celebrate with us.
She also worked brilliantly alongside Jandor, our DJ, and the other wedding suppliers, helping everything flow seamlessly. It was clear how much she cared about delivering a great performance, and our guests loved her.
We’ve had so many lovely comments about our wedding, and Farja’s singing was definitely one of the highlights. We’re so glad we chose her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any couple looking for a talented singer who will make their wedding feel extra special. Thank you, Farja, for being part of such an unforgettable day!"

"We had this amazing 3-piece band for day two of our wedding in billy byrnes and they were absolutely fantastic. They played such a great mix of music that there was something for everyone, and all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed them. They created a brilliant atmosphere from start to finish and kept everyone entertained. We couldn't have asked for a better band and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for live music for an event."
