A guide to booking

Hire Jazz Bands in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia

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.

Choosing a Jazz Band for Your Event

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 Band Pricing in Wollongong

Jazz bands in Wollongong currently range from $250 for smaller ensembles to $3,250+ for larger groups or extended performances, with an average booking cost of $950.

So easy to communicate, plan and work with. We were so happy with their performance and made our wedding extra special! All of our guests commented on the music and that it set the perfect atmosphere for cocktail hour and during dinner. We will definitely be celebrating their part of our wedding for years to come! 10/10 recommend."

Based in Sydney, New South Wales (42 miles from Wollongong) Chad - 50th Birthday Photo of House of Monkeys House of Monkeys "Thanks so much for being part of making [POWER UP] so stunning. I meant what I said about your amazing show – it deserves to have a subsequent life and be seen by more people. It was clever, thoughtful, of great artistic merit and performed with skill, enthusiasm and heart. Can’t ask for more than that!" Based in Sydney, New South Wales (42 miles from Wollongong) Craig Donarski - POWER UP Festival at White Bay Power Station Photo of Unbelievable Wedding Big Band/Orchestra Unbelievable Wedding Big Band/Orchestra "I have been meaning to message you directly also to thank you. What you produced the night of our wedding was nothing short of magical - and I do not say this lightly. I am very happy to hear the band enjoyed the evening - I think their enjoyment and energy showed through their music. The feedback we have had from guests is overwhelming, particularly that the band and the singer (I don't remember his name) was the best they have ever heard at a wedding. You guys nailed the performance. I am so happy that we decided to do a live version, you could not have gotten the same energy and vibe with just a recording / original version. Your two sets were also perfect. There were a few times that we all stopped in the marquee to listen and appreciate the music, particularly My Way - I remember looking around and quite a few people were singing along! I think another sign of a success of a wedding is the number of people on the dance floor, and there was not an empty space during the second set. The amount of people of all ages dancing was a true highlight for me as we wanted this to be a wedding that everyone would enjoy - not just us."

The average cost of hiring jazz bands is $950, with prices from $250 to $3,250+. The main cost factors are the number of musicians in the band, performance duration and the style of jazz.

Many jazz bands are skilled at adjusting their volume and energy to suit different parts of an event. They can provide subtle background music during dinner and then shift to a more upbeat, danceable set for the evening party.
