Live music can turn a wedding reception or corporate dinner into something guests remember, and Singapore has a deep bench of acts to choose from. This guide gathers ten established live bands in Singapore, from signature duos and acoustic soloists to jazz ensembles, string quartets and full party bands for the dance floor. Each was checked against its own website; treat it as a shortlist to match to your event, not a strict ranking.

1. Musical Touch

Musical Touch is a Singapore live-music provider whose line-ups scale from intimate duos through party bands to full string and jazz ensembles for weddings, corporate functions and private celebrations. Its repertoire spans pop, jazz and classical arrangements, and it fields dedicated configurations such as string quartets and small jazz combos for ceremonies and dinners. It is a broad first stop for couples or companies who want to match band size and style to the moment.

2. Merry Bees Live Music

Merry Bees offers pop, jazz, soul and acoustic covers in configurations from solo singer-instrumentalists to duos, trios and a full party band, and it features the well-known pop-jazz duo ShiLi & Adi alongside singer-guitarist John Lye. The team performs at weddings, corporate events and community functions, and can bundle sound and lighting with the music. Couples drawn to a signature duo or a bigger dance-floor band will find both under one roof.

3. RedKite Music

RedKite Music is a Singapore live-entertainment agency that curates performers to suit an event, from solo instrumentalists and jazz ensembles to party bands, a cappella groups, DJs and emcees. Its roster covers pop, jazz, evergreens and Mandarin pop, with instrumentation spanning keys, guitar, saxophone, flute, double bass and vocals for weddings, corporate functions and private parties. It suits clients who would rather brief an agency and have the right act assembled than book a single fixed line-up.

4. VETTA

VETTA is a Singapore strings-led act that describes itself as a premier string quartet and wedding live band, offering quartets, string ensembles, violin and cello duos, plus harp and piano soloists. Its arrangements move between classical repertoire and modern pop reworked for strings, covering solemnisations, cocktail receptions and dinners as well as corporate dinners, launches and anniversaries. It is a natural fit for couples wanting an elegant, largely instrumental sound rather than a vocal party band.

5. La Vie Music

La Vie Music is a Singapore live band that positions itself around wedding and corporate entertainment, with singers and instrumentalists it says can be arranged into different ensemble sizes. Its repertoire runs from classical pieces to modern hits, and the company emphasises polished, responsive musicians and its own sound system for events and private milestones. It is worth shortlisting for couples and companies wanting a versatile band that adapts its set to the room.

6. AGOPSG

AGOPSG is a Singapore live-band provider built around a four-piece acoustic band that, by its own account, performs in up to six languages for weddings, corporate dinners and private parties. Beyond the band it offers event add-ons such as sound systems with an on-site engineer, a bilingual emcee, photo booths and live streaming. The multilingual, acoustic-leaning sound and one-stop extras suit couples who want music and basic production handled together.

7. Guitar Street

Guitar Street is a Singapore acoustic act led by guitarist-singer Sheng Li, offering solo acoustic guitar with vocals or a duo that adds keyboard and a second singer. Its repertoire leans on English and Chinese pop and classics, with some Hokkien and Cantonese oldies, and the set list is built around the couple's requests for ceremonies, receptions and events. It is a good fit for intimate solemnisations and cocktail hours that call for a warm, unplugged sound.

8. Masterpiece (Linus Lee)

Masterpiece is a Singapore jazz-leaning act led by pianist Linus Lee, whose configurations range from a solo piano-and-vocals set to two- to four-piece jazz bands, plus a solo violinist option. The bands rework English and Chinese pop into swing, bossa nova and Latin styles alongside jazz standards, aiming for a stylish backdrop at weddings and corporate events. Lee says he has been active in Singapore's jazz scene since 1994, making this a considered pick for couples who want a genuinely jazz-flavoured set.

9. Dreambird Music

Dreambird Music is a Singapore live band offering two- to four-piece line-ups for weddings, dinner-and-dance nights and corporate events, fronted by vocalist and emcee Ariel Yumetori. Its repertoire covers Top 40, funk, dance, R&B and rock plus Mandopop, Cantopop, Hokkien, Japanese, Korean and Bahasa Indonesia numbers, and wedding bookings include processional music, performance sets and a sound engineer. The company says it has performed since 2009, and its party-band side is geared to livelier dance floors.

10. Merry Media

Merry Media is a Singapore live-music provider that matches clients to bands ranging from solo performers and duos to full party bands for weddings, gala dinners and corporate events. It says its musicians work across genres such as pop, rock and jazz with a repertoire spanning hits across eras, and it operates from Singapore with an additional presence in Malaysia. It suits organisers who want help pairing an event's theme and vibe with a suitable live act.

How to choose

  • Match the act to the moment and the room: an acoustic soloist or string ensemble suits a solemnisation or cocktail hour, while a full party band with drums and brass is built for an evening dance floor. Decide the mood you want for each part of the event before comparing line-ups.
  • Confirm the repertoire and languages, and how song requests are handled. Check that they already play the styles and languages you want — English, Mandarin, Hokkien, Cantonese and others — and ask how much notice they need to learn a special first-dance or march-in song.
  • Clarify exactly who and what is included. Band size changes both the sound and the cost, so confirm the number of musicians and vocalists, whether an emcee is part of the package, and whether the PA system, sound engineer, lighting and set-up are provided or billed separately.
  • Check logistics with your venue: stage or floor space, power supply, load-in access, and any venue sound limits or curfews. Share the run-of-show so the band knows when to cover the march-in, toasts, cake-cutting and dinner sets.
  • Get the scope, date, set lengths and cancellation terms in writing before paying a deposit, and ask to see recent live footage rather than only a polished studio reel so you know how the act actually sounds and presents on the day.
