Reviews of Bossa Nova Bands available in Ottawa

5/5 from 453 reviews
Photo of The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band "Perfect Jazz Band! Secured The Kensie Jazz Band for our 30th Anniversary corporate event. From start to finish they were perfect. Perfect background music while guests are engaging in the social circuit. Perfect background music while being seated and served for dinner. The band can adjust their sound level to your preference. They play a range of music. A live band is a classy touch and adds ambience to any event rather than a standard DJ. It is a completely different vibe. Nice group of people! Good pricing as well. Thank you!" Based in Toronto, Ontario (218 miles from Ottawa) Jenifer F. - Cocktail and Dinner Music Photo of Ontario saxophonist Igor Babich Ontario saxophonist Igor Babich "Igor played the saxophone at our wedding cocktail hour. He was AMAZING! Super lively and sounded so awesome!!! All our guests made comments about how much they loved him too! Communication with him was also super easy and he was always prompt to answer any questions we had! 10/10 recommend him!" Based in Niagara Falls, Ontario (231 miles from Ottawa) 13th January 2026 Anna Fleming - Wedding cockail hour Photo of John Anthony Ferrer John Anthony Ferrer "I have hired John Anthony Ferrer to entertain my sorority reunion guests at the Bean Runner Cafe. Is amazing guitar playing as well as classic songs and popular pop tunes. John's hand the guitar really comes alive as well as the songs he plays. John is a real Rock Star, playing tunes from the Jazz era and then switching to the Pop songs of the last few decades. Then playing Blues before going into some romantic Bossa Nova. I also hired him to host and play guitar for 2022 New York Miss Teen pageant contestants. It wasn't long before he had the beautiful young ladies dancing and singing to the songs he played. A highlight to their busy schedule. To sum it up, John Anthony Ferrer's guitar wizardry will amaze you." Based in Peekskill, New York, United States (298 miles from Ottawa) Miss Elizabeth McCorvey - The Family Resource Center Photo of Manhattan Jazz Trio Manhattan Jazz Trio "Having the Manhattan Trio perform at our summer cocktail party was great. The music added a nice atmosphere to the party, with elegant jazz standards everybody recognized. The band even took some requests from guest and performed them beautifully. If you are looking for a sophisticated and elegant jazz music atmosphere, this is it!" Based in New York, United States (336 miles from Ottawa) 20th March 2026 Marco S. - Cocktail Party Photo of Brazilian Bossa Jazz Band Brazilian Bossa Jazz Band "The trio was fantastic, professional, and talented.

Frequently asked questions

The average price for bossa nova bands on Gig Heaven is $850, with rates from $280 to $1,950+. Cost varies based on the number of musicians, performance duration and the style of bossa nova. Line-ups range from intimate duos with guitar and vocals to larger ensembles featuring percussion, bass and wind instruments.

The bossa nova bands perform bossa nova, a smooth, sophisticated Brazilian style that blends samba rhythms with jazz harmonies. Many bands also include wider Brazilian and Latin jazz standards in their repertoire, creating a relaxed, elegant atmosphere.

Typical bookings for bossa nova bands include cocktail receptions, corporate dinners, wedding drinks receptions, restaurant entertainment, garden parties and any event where sophisticated, mellow background music is desired. Bossa nova's gentle rhythm and warm melodies create a refined, welcoming ambiance.

Many bossa nova bands can perform acoustically for smaller, intimate settings. For larger venues or outdoor events, a small PA system is typically used. For the best experience, discuss the venue with the band to determine the best setup.
