Reviews of Big Bands available in Santa Ynez

5/5 from 130 reviews
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 (112 miles from Santa Ynez) 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 (112 miles from Santa Ynez) Ayaz B - Birthday Celebration Photo of Dave Thomasson Music Dave Thomasson Music "Dave was so gooood! He make that sax sing AND talk. My wife had a request, and Dave knocked it out the park, just like he was the original artist, even BETTER. We had about 150 people and Dave had everyone tuned into his music. Professional, courteous, friendly, and very easy going. He mingled well the guests. I am absolutely going to book him again and again. He made our July 4th celebration, the talk of Ontario. Thank you so much Dave, you are truly humble and you minister to people through your music. God bless you." Based in Covina, California (130 miles from Santa Ynez) Harris B 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 (905 miles from Santa Ynez) Ashley V - Corporate Party 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 (1,341 miles from Santa Ynez) 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, Canada (2,243 miles from Santa Ynez) Sonia Goldstone - The Rick Levine Band

Frequently asked questions

Hiring big bands typically costs between $190 and $3,550+, with an average of $700. 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.
