Reviews of Big Bands available in Surrey

5/5 from 128 reviews
Photo of Good Co Good Co "We hired Good Co for our 1920's themed holiday party. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, especially when we asked if they would follow our leadership around the office as they gathered people for the party. Awesome talent, great at judging sound vs space. Our office is pretty echo-y and loud, but they found the right balance immediately. Definitely keeping on the books for next time!" Based in Seattle, Washington, United States (106 miles from Surrey) Ashley V - Corporate Party Photo of Elite Jazz Band Elite Jazz Band "I had an incredible experience! I had the opportunity to have Igor and Sergei play the double bass and piano for my proposal, and it couldn’t have been more beautiful. We spoke over Zoom and on the phone to go over the details, and they truly understood my vision. They even checked out some of the songs I wanted to include. They arrived on time and delivered an unforgettable performance. I will definitely hire them again for future events and highly recommend them" Based in Los Angeles, California, United States (1,066 miles from Surrey) Hector Photo of Dan Olivo - Jazz, Swing, Big Band & Pop Dan Olivo - Jazz, Swing, Big Band & Pop "Dan and his band was amazing I threw my wife a surprise 10 year cancer remission party and found Dan Olivo on GigSalad. Soon as I talked to him I knew he was the right person for this special event. He definitely provided a memorable night and was the highlight of the party. I would recommend him without any reservations and can't wait to see him perform again." Based in Los Angeles, California, United States (1,066 miles from Surrey) Ayaz B - Birthday Celebration Photo of Texas Gypsies Texas Gypsies "In a word... FABULOUS! These guys gave us just the sound we needed for our fun Prohibition-theme wedding. It is now two weeks later, and all we keep hearing is "Man, that band was fantastic!" They are worth the asking price (which is very reasonable to begin with!) Steve Curry is a great guy and very easy to deal with. I would recommend them without any reservations." Based in Dallas, Texas, United States (1,750 miles from Surrey) Elizabeth A - Wedding Photo of The Rick Levine Band The Rick Levine Band "Fantastic Band! Rick is easy to work, dance floor was full all night long. Guests are still talking about how the Rick Levine Band helped make my event a success! Thanks." Based in Toronto, Ontario (2,072 miles from Surrey) Sonia Goldstone - The Rick Levine Band Photo of Mary Jane Tribute Band Mary Jane Tribute Band "selected the Premium Sound Band to play at my 70's/80's part last year, and they were fantastic! Travis, the leader of the band, started on time, and he had his band dress the theme. It goes without saying that their sound and musicianship was second to none. The private party was filled with dancing and fun! Travis did an excellent job in music selection and instrumental composition of band. In a few weeks, I will host a 2nd annual 70's/80's party, and Travis with the Premium Sound Band will bring the funk! I can't wait to see and dance to his Rick James covers!" Based in Durham, North Carolina, United States (2,372 miles from Surrey) James Fayson - 70s 80s costume party

Frequently asked questions

Hiring big bands typically costs between $280 and $6,000+, with an average of $950. 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.
