Reviews of Jazz Bands available in Brest

5/5 from 2,039 reviews
Photo of The Swing Empire The Swing Empire "The Swing Empire have performed at several key events for us recently including the Cornwall Tourism Awards, our wedding open day and our New Years Eve celebration and they were amazing on each occasion! We had so many positive guest comments and feedback that we just had to book them again for this New Years. With a great variety of songs, interaction with the crowd and very smartly dressed what more could you want! Excellent musicians and certainly a band that we will be recommending for future events that The Headland organise and also for our clients weddings and corporate events." Based in Truro, England, United Kingdom (132 miles from Brest) Claire Robinson, Events Manager - The Headland Hotel Photo of Shaal Sax Shaal Sax "Alex of Shaal Sax was an absolute delight to work with and have play at our wedding. We’d highly recommend! My husband and I booked Alex for our wedding just about 10 days before the big day and Alex was great at communicating, offering creative ideas, and adapting without much notice. He was quick to respond, and extremely kind both via the internet and in-person. He showed up hours in advance to make sure technology worked smoothly alongside our DJ, and he bravely played in front of our crowd of ~165 French and American guests moving between dinner tables during dessert and then around the dance floor alongside our DJ for several songs. Having him in the center of the dancing was a huge crowd pleaser. He brought the energy up from about 7/10 to 11/10! ;) everyone loved it so much and he will truly remain such a highlight of our wedding day! Awesome experience hiring Shaal Sax!" Based in La Rochelle, Nouvelle-Aquitaine (219 miles from Brest) 25th June 2026 Marinna Martens - Wedding Photo of SWTH duo SWTH duo "Tom and his partner were nothing short of fantastic! Really great communication, very accommodating with our requests and were brilliant musicians. It was for a friends stag do - we wanted some background jazz tunes for a bbq and then a more fun interactive set which they were able to provide. All round good fun. Would highly recommend!" Based in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom (221 miles from Brest) Sean - Nolan Photo of Five Star Swing Five Star Swing "Just returned from the show at Stamford this evening 22 Nov. Outstanding musical ability, total enthusiasm and hard work, which produced a sound which defied any attempt to keep your hands or feet from moving! They love their music and it showed. It was an superb evening and I will be back." Based in Southampton, England, United Kingdom (222 miles from Brest) Eddie Harper, Stamford Photo of The Misophone Collective The Misophone Collective "Oscar & the other members of The Misophone Colletive did such a wonderful job at our event! Communication was great leading up to it, and everything went perfectly the day of. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!"

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring jazz bands is €600, with prices from €170 to €2,050+. The main cost factors are the number of musicians in the band, performance duration and the style of jazz. Jazz groups range from duos and trios to large swing orchestras, and line-up size has the biggest impact on price.

The jazz bands for hire cover a wide range of styles including swing, bossa nova, gypsy jazz, smooth jazz, bebop and New Orleans-style jazz. Some groups also perform jazz-influenced pop or Rat Pack classics. To get the best results, listen to audio samples on each band's profile to find the right style for your event.

Hiring jazz bands is a versatile choice for many types of events. They are especially popular for wedding receptions, cocktail hours, corporate functions, private parties and gala dinners. Jazz works well as background music during dining or drinks, and can also be the featured entertainment where a more sophisticated atmosphere is desired.

On Gig Heaven, jazz bands are available in a variety of sizes, from duos and trios up to full big band ensembles of 15 or more musicians. A smaller group such as a trio or quartet is ideal for intimate settings and lower budgets, while a larger ensemble can fill bigger venues with a richer, more dynamic sound.

Most jazz bands are self-contained and bring their own amplification for smaller to mid-sized venues. Acoustic jazz groups may not need any amplification at all for intimate settings. For larger venues, additional PA equipment may be required. It is worth discussing sound requirements with the band before booking.

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. It is a good idea to discuss the event flow with the band so they can plan their sets accordingly.
