Photo of Jack | International DJ & Music Director Jack | International DJ & Music Director "When we first booked Jack Rooster, we thought we were hiring a DJ. What we actually got was a Music Director, trusted advisor, problem solver, coordinator and an incredible partner throughout our entire wedding journey. From the very first planning call, Jack took the time to understand not just the music we liked, but the atmosphere we wanted to create for our families and friends. Over several months of preparation, he helped us think through every important moment across both days, from the Nigerian traditional ceremony to the wedding ceremony, aperitivo, dinner, formal moments and the party. What impressed us most was the level of preparation. Every entrance, transition, performance, cue and special moment was carefully considered. Jack coordinated seamlessly with our planner, live performers, sound team and suppliers, ensuring that everything felt effortless on the day, even though we now know how much work was happening behind the scenes. The music itself was perfect. He somehow managed to bring together guests from different countries, cultures and generations and keep everyone engaged throughout the weekend. Whether it was the traditional Nigerian elements, the romantic wedding moments, the live performances, or the packed dancefloor later in the evening, every part felt intentional and perfectly timed. Several guests commented that it felt less like a wedding and more like a beautifully curated experience. What stood out most was the trust we felt throughout the process. We always felt that Jack genuinely cared about the success of our wedding as much as we did. His professionalism, attention to detail, calm presence and ability to read a room gave us complete confidence from start to finish. We are incredibly grateful for everything he did and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone planning a destination wedding, luxury celebration or special event. Thank you, Jack, for helping to create memories that will stay with us and our families for a lifetime.

Everyone was singing along and dancing. He really excelled our expectations and my guests absolutely loved him and his playlist. Great guy and would definitely use him again. A great time was had! Thanks so much" Based in London, England, United Kingdom (464 miles from Bern) 10th August 2026 Elaine - 40th Birthday Dinner party Photo of Sax by Impulse ⚡ Sax by Impulse ⚡ "I was looking for a Saxophone player for an intimate birthday dinner for my dad's 70th birthday. I found Daniel on Gig Heaven, and was skeptical because I'd never used the site before. However, Daniel was very swift in his responses and also answered all my questions on our initial call. He did a fantastic job on the day and really made the event an enjoyable one. All the guests commented on how good he was and I truly feel he made the event a huge success. I would 100% recommend Daniel for anyone looking for a Saxophone player for their event. He's punctual, reliable and extremely professional." Based in London, England, United Kingdom (464 miles from Bern) 25th June 2026 Elizabeth - Birthday Dinner Photo of Zukira Duo Zukira Duo "Hi Abbie and Gavie, I want to thank you both so much for being absolutely amazing at Ellie and Charlie’s wedding on Sunday. You played so beautifully and created such a wonderful atmosphere. It could not have been more perfect. When I heard you on Radio London, all that time ago, I knew that I wanted you to play at Ellie’s wedding. Well, how right I was. I can’t imagine anything better. I’m only sorry that I didn’t get a chance to have a chat with you on the day. It’s remarkably hectic being mother-of-the-bride! I hope that you were well looked after and managed to get something to eat. The rest of the wedding was equally wonderful and we are all still floating on air. Many thanks again for making the wedding so special." Based in London, England, United Kingdom (464 miles from Bern) 27th December 2025 Gill F - Wedding Photo of Emmanuel Ayodeji Emmanuel Ayodeji "We had the pleasure of having Emmanuel perform at our recent event, and it was nothing short of fantastic! His talent and energy brought an incredible atmosphere, making the event truly memorable. The music was beautifully played, adding a touch of elegance and excitement to the celebration. My dad absolutely loved it, and all our guests enjoyed the performance. Highly recommend Emmanuel for any event—professional, engaging, and a true musical talent. Thank you for making the night special!" Based in London, England, United Kingdom (464 miles from Bern) Chris - Dad 65th Birthday Party

Pricing depends on the number of performers, the style of music and whether the act includes dancers or additional instruments such as djembe, kora or talking drum. African entertainment spans a wide range of traditions, so the type and scale of the performance are the main cost factors.

The African acts on Gig Heaven include a wide range of performers such as drum groups, dance troupes, Afrobeat bands, marimba players and traditional musicians from across the African continent. Many acts combine live music with dance and audience participation for a vibrant, high-energy experience.

Hiring African entertainment is popular for cultural celebrations, weddings, corporate team-building events, festivals, school workshops and community events. The high energy and interactive nature of many African performances makes them suitable for audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

These interactive sessions work particularly well for corporate team-building days, school events and festivals. It is worth discussing workshop options with performers when making an enquiry.
