Photo of High Society Jazz Orchestra High Society Jazz Orchestra "What an entertaining band last night at the VJC at Clayton RSL. The High Society Jazz Orchestra played a magical mix of Big Band numbers from a number of eras. They not only played well, but looked the part in their dinner suits and lovely dresses. The music kept dancers on the floor all night and the audience looked very happy with the music - even the children were enjoying the night!" Based in Melbourne, Victoria (28 miles from Mornington) 21st March 2026 Victorian Jazz Club - VJC at Clayton RSL Photo of The Martini Set The Martini Set "With the smooth sounds of the Martini Set, our corporate guests had a fabulous event and loved to dance the night away. Such an easy group to work with, we loved their music and their happy attitude. Have used them a few times and suggest you BOOK THEM or your event." Based in Melbourne, Victoria (28 miles from Mornington) Carol - Ke.Creative Events Photo of Unbelievable Wedding Big Band/Orchestra Unbelievable Wedding Big Band/Orchestra "I have been meaning to message you directly also to thank you. What you produced the night of our wedding was nothing short of magical - and I do not say this lightly. I am very happy to hear the band enjoyed the evening - I think their enjoyment and energy showed through their music. The feedback we have had from guests is overwhelming, particularly that the band and the singer (I don't remember his name) was the best they have ever heard at a wedding. You guys nailed the performance. I am so happy that we decided to do a live version, you could not have gotten the same energy and vibe with just a recording / original version. Your two sets were also perfect. There were a few times that we all stopped in the marquee to listen and appreciate the music, particularly My Way - I remember looking around and quite a few people were singing along! I think another sign of a success of a wedding is the number of people on the dance floor, and there was not an empty space during the second set. The amount of people of all ages dancing was a true highlight for me as we wanted this to be a wedding that everyone would enjoy - not just us." Based in Sydney, New South Wales (457 miles from Mornington) Alexa - Private Wedding Photo of The African JAZZ Hounds The African JAZZ Hounds "This is a very good African group that I have seen performing live" Based in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa (6,404 miles from Mornington) Vladimir kouzmenko - Seychelles jazz and blues festival Photo of Styliannie Jazz Soul Singer & Band Styliannie Jazz Soul Singer & Band "We had the absolute pleasure of having Styliannie sing at our wedding cocktail reception, and she was truly one of the highlights of the day. From the start, she was incredibly professional and collaborative—she worked with us to curate the perfect playlist, blending timeless jazz classics from artists like Frank Sinatra, Etta James, and Ella Fitzgerald. Her voice is simply stunning—effortless, soulful, and full of warmth. The moment she started singing, it set the perfect ambience and brought a beautiful energy to the space. You couldn’t help but smile hearing her, and our guests were just as enchanted. We received so many compliments throughout the evening about how talented and engaging she was. Styliannie is not only an amazing performer, but also a genuinely lovely person. She brought a touch of glamour, grace, and joy to our special day. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!" Based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (7,261 miles from Mornington) 12th January 2026 Beth C Photo of International Saxophonist International Saxophonist "Very helpful, communicative and above all fun! We had a blast. Adam is a 10/10 entertainer. Highly recommend." Based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (7,261 miles from Mornington) 15th December 2025 Oliver Wyman - Annual Event

Frequently asked questions

Hiring big bands typically costs between $280 and $6,000+, with an average of $1,000. The biggest factor in pricing is the number of musicians, as big bands range from around ten players to full ensembles of twenty or more. Performance duration and whether the band includes featured vocalists also affect the cost.

The big bands for hire typically feature between 10 and 20 musicians, including a horn section (trumpets, trombones, saxophones), a rhythm section (drums, bass, piano, guitar) and one or more vocalists. Some big bands on Gig Heaven offer flexible line-ups to suit different venue sizes and budgets.

Hiring big bands is ideal for black-tie dinners, gala events, weddings, corporate parties and ballroom dances. The full, rich sound of a big band creates a sense of occasion and glamour, and is especially effective for events with a swing, jazz or vintage theme.

Because of the number of musicians involved, big bands typically need a larger performance area than a standard band. A space of around 8 by 5 metres is common for a full line-up, though this varies. It is worth discussing staging requirements with the band to ensure the venue can accommodate them comfortably.
