Reviews of Big Bands available in Prato

5/5 from 132 reviews
Photo of Double Soul Double Soul "We honestly couldn't have asked for a better band. From the planning stages, Sam was fantastic to work with—responsive, accommodating, collaborative, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping create exactly the atmosphere we wanted. What impressed us most was their willingness to make our wedding uniquely ours. They learned multiple songs especially for us that weren't even part of their normal repertoire, including our first dance. Hearing them perform it live was one of the most emotional moments of the entire day, and we're not sure we'll ever be able to hear that song again without thinking of their incredible performance. On top of that, they were unbelievably flexible with our venue setup. Rather than simply performing in one place, they generously performed across two separate locations, requiring them to pack down, move, and completely reset all of their equipment just so our vision could come to life seamlessly. They made what could have been a logistical headache look completely effortless. Sam, Flip and Marina's talent and energy were exceptional, creating the perfect soundtrack to our cocktail hour and first dance and leaving such a lasting impression on us and our guests. Thank you for helping us create a memory that we will treasure forever."

His performance not only added sophistication to the atmosphere but also resonated with the hearts of all present. Giuliano's professionalism was matched only by his warmth and amiable nature, making him not just an artist but a delightful presence at our celebration. For aficionados of swing and jazz, Giuliano is the ultimate choice. He transformed our wedding into a mesmerizing journey through musical elegance, leaving us with memories to treasure for a lifetime. Grazie mille, Giuliano, for making our day truly magical." Based in Milan, Lombardy (144 miles from Prato) Susy Anderson - Wedding Photo of Saxophonist Georg Lehmann Saxophonist Georg Lehmann "Georg played at our wedding on Saturday 24th May 2025. Overall, he was excellent and everyone attended love the music! Booking via Gig Heaven was easy and Georg was easy to reach and to align on what music we wanted. On the day, we extended the session by a full 1.5 hours as everyone was having a great time! I would fully recommend Georg, he made our evening even more special with his excellent choice of music and quality of play. Thank you Georg!"

Frequently asked questions

Hiring big bands typically costs between €170 and €3,150+, with an average of €650. 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.
