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 14,235 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.

Simply Yacht Rock
"I knew every single song and tried desperately to sing along! Every time he started a new song, a memory came back. It was like going back to my childhood. Terrific music selection!"
Nadya Z Flute
"Saw Nadya perform with my daughter, Tabitha Meeks, and the skill and energy were amazing."
Steve Sax
"We saw Steve play at a friend's Christening and thought he was very good at getting people to dance and have a good time so I spoke to Steve after the event and got his contact details. That evening, I spoke to Steve to find out if he was available for our wedding day and then we agreed on the price. In the days leading up to the wedding, I spoke to Steve a couple of times to discuss the kind of songs he could play but this was no trouble at all because Steve mentioned that he would play anything we wanted. On the day of our wedding, Steve played a 2 hour set after the wedding finished and during the change over to the reception party. He entertained the guests really well, everyone spoke highly of Steve and said it was a really good idea to have him play. We are really happy to have had Steve play at our wedding and would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you for making our day memorable 🫶🏽. (10 / 10)"
New Colours
"New Colours are an incredibly talented band. Their interaction with the audience was incredible and we've had such wonderful feedback from our guests. We have since made repeat bookings and look forward to having them perform more often."
A Groove Gathering
"Wow!! Can't say enough good things about this band! I heard Tien singing solo at a restaurant and knew I wanted to hire him for my wedding. His voice is amazing and the vibes are chill, romantic, and fun. I hired him and his band "The Groove Gathering" and my guest talked about them ALL night! They were for sure one of the highlights of the night. They are also very professional and easy going so they were very accommodating to my unique wedding schedule. My favorite part about this group is they not only sound amazing but they have a passion for music and it shows! Way better than hiring a DJ!"
Elite Duo – Vocals & Saxophone
"I had the pleasure of seeing this talented duo perform at a private party, and I have to say, they were absolutely fantastic! The combination of vocals and saxophone was just beautiful — smooth, elegant, and so easy to listen to. The singer had such a lovely voice, and her performance was incredibly polished, expressive, and effortless. The saxophonist sounded amazing as well, with such a warm, rich tone that complemented her voice perfectly. You could really tell how well they worked together. What I especially appreciated was their choice of songs — a really tasteful mix of music that created such a lovely atmosphere without ever being overpowering. Everything felt natural, classy, and just right for the occasion. It was one of those performances where you could simply relax, enjoy the music, and appreciate the talent behind it. Such a great experience overall, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these two to anyone looking for beautiful live music for a wedding, private party, or any special celebration. Really lovely musicians and a wonderful duo!"
