Photo of The Soulsters The Soulsters "When we set about choosing our nighttime entertainment for our wedding ceremony we wanted a band that would appeal to all, with a sense of fun - to get people up and dancing. We watched you on YouTube and read your reviews, it all seemed quite good. Your energy - live, on stage - was even better than we expected. We were also very impressed by your professionalism throughout the booking process and on the night itself. Judging by the numbers on the dance floor, I'd say the night was a success! Sandra and I would like to thank you very much for making our celebrations perfect. We cannot recommend you highly enough. Chris" Based in Bayonne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France (116 miles from Santander) Chris Mahre Photo of Sinatra Experience Sinatra Experience "The perfect accompaniment to the cocktail party Everything, from start to finish, was perfect. Mark was very flexible and professional. Every detail was taken care of and the band sounded incredible. Everyone enjoyed the experience and I’m very grateful to David for creating the perfect atmosphere for my cocktail party. Thank you very much!"

We had so many positive guest comments and feedback that we just had to book them again for this New Years. With a great variety of songs, interaction with the crowd and very smartly dressed what more could you want! Excellent musicians and certainly a band that we will be recommending for future events that The Headland organise and also for our clients weddings and corporate events." Based in Truro, England, United Kingdom (474 miles from Santander) Claire Robinson, Events Manager - The Headland Hotel Photo of The Sax Player The Sax Player "Whether as MD, arranger or instrumentalist (or as is often the case, all three), Simon brings a level of rock-solid professionalism that makes everything a pleasure. His exceptional talents as an instrumentalist go without saying. But he is a dependable and hugely reassuring presence onstage and great fun off it. A real asset to any ensemble.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring big bands typically costs between €170 and €3,150+, with an average of €600. 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.

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.

The big bands in Santander, Cantabria, Spain 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.
