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.

DUO IT Cascais
"Fantastic. They are the best I've ever hired. Reliable, excellent entertainers, great voice and excellent musicians."
Claudia Dorado - Classic Guitar
"Claudia was amazing. She is an extraordinarily talented guitarist, playing classical guitar. She was also a pleasure to deal with, communicative, reliable, friendly and amenable. She played Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring as I walked down the aisle and it was glorious. She agreed to learn a few songs we liked to add some Spanish guitar versions of pop songs for the reception (eg Love of My Life - by Queen), and they were beautiful. We would highly recommend her."
"The Lady Jukebox"
"Ingka performed her solo performance for our afternoon 'blues brunch' and was loved and appreciated by all our customers and staff. Easy listening (as requested) acoustic vibes with some requests fulfilled happily. Friendly, respectful, professional and fun. A bargain for such a well groomed and talented package! We have had her for 3 seperate dates so far and are looking forward to inviting back again soon!"
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."
Tenorè, The Italian Three Tenors
"I had the pleasure of seeing the three tenors, Tenorè, perform at the Belcanto Festival in Mrągowo, Poland, last summer, and it was absolutely fantastic! The music from the Italian repertoire was beautiful, and their voices were truly impressive — powerful, rich, and full of emotion. You could really hear that they are genuine opera singers. I had no idea they also performed at private events. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a truly memorable musical experience!"
Saeed Khan Music (Dhol, Sitar, Bansuri)
