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.

"I'm incredibly grateful to Kars and his band for making our evening truly special. Our dinner guests were impressed by both the performance and the professionalism of the band. The entire experience, from the initial contact to the performance itself, was seamless and enjoyable."
NoNi Trio
"NoNi Trio a offert une prestation merveilleuse, gracieuse et élégante lors de notre mariage. Leur musique a créé exactement l’atmosphère chaleureuse et raffinée que nous espérions, et leur concert a été l’un des moments les plus mémorables de notre célébration.
Ils ont fait preuve d’un grand professionnalisme, tout en étant très sympathiques, attentionnés et disponibles tout au long de la préparation. Avant le mariage, ils ont coordonné directement avec notre DJ et notre ingénieur du son afin que tous les besoins techniques et de sonorisation soient parfaitement organisés. Ils ont également échangé avec nous de manière très claire et attentive au sujet de la playlist, en intégrant de nombreux classiques que nous aimons, notamment de Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Peggy Lee, Louis Armstrong, et bien d’autres.
Ils sont même allés au-delà de nos attentes en travaillant avec une amie à nous, chanteuse de chœurs et auteure-compositrice, qui avait écrit une chanson spécialement pour nous. NoNi Trio l’a aidée à intégrer sa prestation à leur set, rendant ce moment particulièrement personnel et émouvant.
Ce fut un véritable plaisir de travailler avec NoNi Trio du début à la fin. Nous les recommandons sans hésiter à toute personne à la recherche d’un jazz live magnifique et de grande qualité pour un mariage ou tout autre événement spécial."
Dagmar & Jacopo (Swing and Jazz Duo)
"Fae & Sebastian H. - Per Dagmar & Jacopo - Jazz & Swing Duo 27/08/2026, Wedding
Dagmar and Jacopo were truly the voice and soul of our wedding. We booked the duo to accompany the most special moments of our ceremony and aperitivo, and they made both absolutely unforgettable. Dagmar (fluent in so many languages, including the ones that were most important to us: German, English, Italian, and Spanish) enchanted everyone with her beautiful voice while also excelling in her role as our MC. From beginning to end, the collaboration felt warm, personal, and completely on equal footing, while always remaining highly professional. Their beautiful interpretations of songs that hold a very special place in our hearts made some of the most meaningful moments of our wedding even more memorable. And one moment we will definitely never forget: during our ceremony, one of the rings went missing. While everyone embarked on a scavenger hunt across the 2ha garden of the villa, Dagmar and Jacopo reacted quickly & kept playing.. providing the perfect soundtrack and turning this moment into one of the funniest and coolest experiences of the entire day. (Yes, we eventually found the ring! 😊)
Thank you, Dagmar and Jacopo, for bringing so much heart, joy, and beautiful music to our wedding. We couldn’t have imagined it without you."
Martin Bevacua - Violinist
"★★★★★
We were so happy to have Martin play at our wedding! From the very beginning, he was professional, friendly, and very easy to communicate with.
His violin playing during the ceremony was absolutely beautiful and made the moment even more emotional and special. During the cocktail reception, he created the perfect atmosphere with a great mix of music that our guests really enjoyed.
Martin is not only a fantastic musician, but also very professional and kind. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for beautiful live music for their wedding. Thank you, Martin, for being part of such an important day for us!"

Beat-Route
""Dear Daniel
Thank you for your email, much appreciated. Just got back to the office in Knysna!
Once again, it was great to work with Beat-Route and oh my word, Thobeka has a stunning voice. I’m so pleased that Jenny decided to book her.
Should you ever need a reference to any prospective client, let me know, I’d be more than happy to provide one. I would have loved having a band of your calibre in the Garden Route, and in the Cape Town area.
Thank you again for another very successful event.
All the very best, until the next time!"
