I had about 10 birthdays and a couple of weddings in my game so far, and very often I hired musicians and bartenders. I mean the menu where you can hire a cook, a musician and a bartender when you organize a party. You can either select a known sim there, or use an option to hire someone without an icon (I suppose the game generates a new sim in this case or selects a random one?), I used the latter one.
So I noticed that pretty often they don't even appear at the party. I've seen them only a couple of times, in most cases the game takes money to hire them but nothing happens eventually.
