Reviews of Big Bands based near Woking

5/5 from 16 reviews
Photo of Soul Vibe Band Soul Vibe Band "We hired Soul Vibe Band to play our wedding, and they were fantastic! Kainy who was our contact was very helpful in the lead up to the wedding and was a pleasure to work with, and they even arranged something especially for our first dance, which we hugely appreciated. They keep the energy up and put on a great set, and for a six piece band were exceptionally reasonably priced. I would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking for their own wedding band!" Based in Acton, England (18 miles from Woking) Francis & Hayley Robson - Private Wedding Photo of Kit Packham Kit Packham "Kit was booked to perform at a adult / children’s party. Kit was excellent and managed to blend the first set into an entertaining piece for the adults and kids. To a second set which was a perfect piece for a transition and background piece while w rate food and the kids relaxed. The third set was much more upbeat, grey for the adult entertainment and brought an excitement to the evening. I would not think twice about hiring Kit again. He manage our requirements perfectly , by listening to what we required and delivering on every request. The feedback from all our guests was exceptional! Thank you Kit and hopefully we will see you at the next event. Roy and family" Based in Caterham, England (21 miles from Woking) Roy Deadman (Family party ) - Family party Photo of Dave Octave Sings Dave Octave Sings "We had a fantastic night, Dave Octave was welcoming entertaining and sang effortlessly. My guess all enjoyed his renditions. Thanks again" Based in London, England (23 miles from Woking) 11th November 2025 Aheeka Defreitas 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. Alexander Armstrong" Based in London, England (23 miles from Woking) Alexander Armstrong - Multiple gigs Photo of Hot Shoes Hot Shoes "We couldn't have been more delighted with Hot Shoes performance, the dance floor was packed from the moment they started and stayed that way for the whole set!" Based in London, England (23 miles from Woking) anon - Wedding Photo of Chris Weeks Chris Weeks "‘Everybody has commented on how well the party went and absolutely loved your singing - they all really praised you.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring big bands typically costs between £150 and £2,650+, with an average of £500. 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.
