Reviews of Dixieland Bands available in Ballarat

5/5 from 122 reviews
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, United States (8,227 miles from Ballarat) 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, United States (9,055 miles from Ballarat) Elizabeth A - Wedding Photo of Marcello Leanza Marcello Leanza "Words can’t describe how incredible Marcello and the whole band were for our wedding, 23/5/2026. I feel emotional just writing the review! From the moment I contacted Marcello, his professionalism and attention to detail has made me feel extremely special and valued, his communication was exceptional and he truly put in the time and effort to make our day magical, even playing “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles for us as a special nod to our Liverpool roots. The band looked impeccable, so stylish in their suits and sunglasses! And they ensured everything ran smoothly, from the ceremony, to the aperitivo and then the dinner. Not only that, the music was simply breath taking - every song choice we loved. It was lively, but classy and still allowed guests to talk while enjoying it. The setting - sipping our wine in the Sicilian sunset with their fantastic music… it’s something we’ll never forget. Each musician was a master of their craft and we genuinely feel honoured to have had them. I feel like we have made a friend for life and we extend the invitation to visit us in Liverpool, if they ever fancied it! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we genuinely are on a high from the day." Based in Catania, Sicily, Italy (9,667 miles from Ballarat) 25th May 2026 Lydia Rimmer - Wedding Photo of Efrayim Fischbacher Efrayim Fischbacher "I'm a professional I respect the music. I've never signed anything like this before." Based in Naples, Florida, United States (9,673 miles from Ballarat) 25th August 2026 Jason Miles Photo of Hot Wings Hot Wings "We came across the band Hot Wings quite by accident and we are incredibly happy about it. We couldn't have chosen a better musical accompaniment to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Schrack Technik. At an event for hundreds of people there was dancing, guests were having fun and the dance floor was empty at most during the breaks. The chosen repertoire was excellent, with both younger and older ages coming into their own, and the band was one of the first things guests praised after the celebration. The communication before the event was also great, quick, everything was fine-tuned at the joint meeting in the space, and there was not a single problem on the day of the celebration. Thank you for the amazing music at our party, it was a great experience for everyone!" Based in Prague, Praha, Czech Republic (9,828 miles from Ballarat) Ing. Denisa Hanušová - Schrack Technik Corporate Event, Prague 2021 Photo of Rome Jazz Trio Rome Jazz Trio "Romina and her band were impeccable at our wedding in Rome. They were organised, responsive, and gave a very lovely performance that exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend Romina and the band!"

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for Dixieland bands ranges from $300 to $2,300+, with an average of $1,200. Rates depend on the number of musicians, performance duration and the instruments in the line-up. Dixieland jazz groups typically feature trumpet, clarinet, trombone, banjo and drums, with larger ensembles costing more.

The Dixieland bands perform traditional New Orleans-style jazz, also known as Dixieland or trad jazz. This lively style features instruments such as trumpet, clarinet, trombone, tuba, banjo and drums, and is known for its upbeat, improvisational character.

Hiring Dixieland bands is popular for weddings, garden parties, cocktail receptions, funerals (particularly New Orleans-style celebrations of life), corporate events and festivals. Dixieland music creates a joyful, festive atmosphere and many bands can perform as a roaming or marching act.

Many Dixieland bands are able to perform while walking or marching, making them ideal for leading wedding processions, greeting guests on arrival or creating a New Orleans-style second line parade. To get the best results, discuss roaming options with the band when making an enquiry.
