Live jazz groups bring a polished, adaptable sound to weddings and events near you. These professional musicians handle everything from soft background music during dinner to high-energy dance sets, adjusting their repertoire and volume to suit your venue and occasion. Most jazz acts offer flexible lineup sizes, so a trio that plays your cocktail hour can expand to a quintet or larger group for the evening.
The most popular format is a three or four-piece jazz group for wedding receptions and corporate functions, with a classic combination of piano or guitar, bass, drums and sometimes saxophone or vocals. Smaller duos work well for ceremonies and intimate settings, while larger ensembles with brass and dedicated vocalists suit bigger venues and dance-focused events. Many jazz musicians locally also offer themed sets, including 1920s Gatsby-era jazz, bossa nova, and modern pop songs rearranged in a swing style.
Jazz bands in Australia currently range from $250 for smaller ensembles to $3,250+ for larger groups or extended performances, with an average booking cost of $950. Price typically reflects the number of musicians, set length, travel requirements, and any custom arrangements. Trios and quartets offer good value for most events, while full big band setups command a higher fee but deliver a richer, more dynamic sound.

"We couldn’t have asked for better musicians for our wedding! From the very beginning, communication was easy, friendly, and flexible. As we don’t speak French, it was especially important to us that communication could also be handled in English, and everything went smoothly throughout the planning process.
The performance itself was absolutely wonderful. They are both incredibly talented musicians, and the singer has a truly beautiful voice. The pianist was also excellent, and together they created a fantastic atmosphere for our special day.
They listened carefully to our wishes and took all of our requests into consideration, which made the experience feel very personal and special. We received so many compliments from our guests about the music!
We highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented, professional, and easy-to-work-with musicians for their wedding. Thank you for making our day even more memorable!"

"Hi Marcel, thank you again for playing at our wedding. You did a wonderful job and everyone enjoyed the music and the occasion."
Erika Petti
"We hired Erika for a private event in Tuscany and it was honestly one of the best decisions we made for the whole trip.
We had a group of English friends over for a few days in the Tuscan countryside, and we wanted something special for one of the evenings. Erika came with her guitar and voice and completely won everyone over. She's incredibly versatile, moving easily between Italian classics, jazz, bossa nova and English songs, so there was something for everyone in the group.
Beyond the music, she was warm, professional and easy to organise everything with beforehand. She read the room perfectly and adjusted the set as the evening went on, which made the whole night feel effortless. Our friends are still talking about it.
Highly recommend her for any private event, big or small, especially if you want a mix of languages and styles done really well"
