Live music for private parties in Perth

Hire a musician or a DJ for your party, and we run everything after "yes".

Open Dawn is a Perth live entertainment agency run by a working musician. We book professional musicians and DJs for private parties, match the act to your crowd, brief them on the night, and confirm the lot in writing. You deal with one person and get one invoice, and the music turns up ready to play.

A playlist through a speaker fills the silence. A musician in the room gives the night a centre: something to gather around, sing over and remember. That difference is the whole reason to book one.

Whatever the occasion

The act is matched to the crowd and the occasion, not pulled off a shelf.

Birthdays & milestones

An acoustic set through the afternoon or a band that gets three generations on the same dance floor. Built around the guest of honour's actual taste.

Engagements & anniversaries

Music that starts warm and builds as the night does. The songs that matter to the couple, agreed beforehand and played by someone real.

House & backyard parties

Self-contained acts that fit a patio, keep the volume neighbourly and finish on time. The party gets a stage without hiring one.

Questions party hosts ask

How much does it cost to hire a musician for a party in Perth?

Every party is quoted for the night itself, because a solo acoustic set at a backyard birthday and a DJ running a dance floor until late are different jobs. Tell us the date, the place and the crowd, and you get one clear quote with nothing hidden in it.

Can you play at a house or in a backyard?

Yes. Every performer we book brings their own instruments and PA, so a living room, a backyard or a rented hall works fine. We brief the act on the space, the power and the finish time, and we keep the volume where your street stays friendly.

What kind of acts can we book for a party?

Acoustic soloists and duos, full bands and DJs, matched to your crowd and the occasion. Tell us the music the guest of honour actually listens to and we match performers who play it.

How much notice do you need for a party?

More is always better, and weekends go first. Ask about your date and you will know straight away what is possible. If the party is this weekend, call rather than write.

Which areas of Perth do you cover for parties?

All of the Perth metro area, and we travel further for the right night.

Who handles the details on the night?

We do. The act arrives briefed on your run sheet, sets up their own gear, plays the sets agreed in writing and packs down without fuss. You host the party.

Booking music for something else?

Run a venue? We book live music for Perth venues every week. See how that works, or meet some of the musicians.
