Photo of Beat-Route Beat-Route ""Hi Daniel, I didn’t even get a chance to chat to you guys on the day!  All went so quick! In saying that, I most certainly heard your beautiful music and I cannot thank you enough for contributing to our wedding day and making it a magical one! Your professionalism and helpfulness leading up to the day was truly remarkable and you were always available to chat or answer any questions (and instructions!) I had immediately. For this I thank you and will most certainly recommend you to any future bride and/or event. Good luck to you and the rest of Beat-route, I wish you a very successful future and will most certainly see you again at Market sometime. I will forward you some photos when I receive them for sure!"

Based in New York, United States (8,820 miles from Auckland) 20th March 2026 Marco S. - Cocktail Party Photo of Styliannie Jazz Soul Singer & Band Styliannie Jazz Soul Singer & Band "We had the absolute pleasure of having Styliannie sing at our wedding cocktail reception, and she was truly one of the highlights of the day. From the start, she was incredibly professional and collaborative—she worked with us to curate the perfect playlist, blending timeless jazz classics from artists like Frank Sinatra, Etta James, and Ella Fitzgerald. Her voice is simply stunning—effortless, soulful, and full of warmth. The moment she started singing, it set the perfect ambience and brought a beautiful energy to the space. You couldn’t help but smile hearing her, and our guests were just as enchanted. We received so many compliments throughout the evening about how talented and engaging she was. Styliannie is not only an amazing performer, but also a genuinely lovely person. She brought a touch of glamour, grace, and joy to our special day. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!"

Frequently asked questions

The average price for bossa nova bands on Gig Heaven is $1,100, with rates from $350 to $2,400+. 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.
