Live jazz groups bring a polished, adaptable sound to weddings and events. 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 also offer themed sets, including 1920s Gatsby-era jazz, bossa nova, and modern pop songs rearranged in a swing style.
Rates for jazz bands in France currently range from about €170 for smaller ensembles to €2,050+ for larger groups or extended performances, with an average booking cost of €600.

MiSax
"I booked MiSax to play a surprise act at my brother's wedding and it was a fantastic decision. He played each speaker in with a song of their choice, which was such a personal touch. Guests were thrilled by the surprise and loved it from the first note. MiSax was professional, relaxed, and adapted effortlessly to every last minute change we threw at him. His playing brought so much energy and joy to the evening. I highly recommend MiSax to anyone looking to make their event extra special!"
The Queen Bees
"The Queen Bees were a fantastic addition to our event. Their performance was elegant, stylish and perfectly suited to the occasion. The musicians were extremely professional, with a lovely stage presence and beautiful musical arrangements. They added a very special touch to the evening and were appreciated by all our guests."
"Elise and the Gioboys"
"The trio was absolutely wonderful. They were exactly what we were looking for for our wedding: a heartfelt atmosphere for the bride and groom’s entrance, a joyful atmosphere for the cocktail hour, and the highlight of the evening with the party set at the end of the night. Their repertoire was varied and perfectly suited to what we were looking for. Thank you for your professionalism, punctuality, and kindness.

Orchestre ONS
"Orchestre ONS played at our wedding and we danced until the very end of the night! Generous artists, incredible energy, talented musicians and vocals that will blow you away. We recommend them without hesitation!"
Martin Bevacua - Violinist
"We are so happy that we chose Martin to be our musician for our wedding day. From the very beginning, he was communicative, flexible, and so easy to work with. He took the time to learn the songs that my fiancé and I had chosen, and he was also incredibly accommodating in agreeing to play along with a recording of my dad playing the piano for my walk down the aisle. It made that moment incredibly special and personal to us.
On the wedding day, all of our guests were raving about how amazing Martin was, both playing the violin and singing. He is incredibly talented and brought such a beautiful energy to our ceremony and celebration. We truly couldn't have asked for a better musician to be part of our wedding day."
Jon Rebbeck
"Really great having Jon perform for our wedding. He was very professional and booking and communications were straightforward and timely, making it really easy to book and not have any worries despite being in the UK!
Jon played for our cocktail hour and was absolutely incredible, so good in fact that it took a few of our guests a minute to notice it was a live performance and not a track! It really added to the relaxed atmosphere we were going for during our cocktails, and everyone loved it!
Later in the evening we had our DJ playing with Jon playing some more tunes that just kept everyone dancing, we even had a conga-style line with Jon at the helm at one point. Really really fun experience and loved having Jon performing for us, highly recommended!
Thank you Jon!!"
