A guide to booking

Hire Jazz Bands in Ireland

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 Ireland

Jazz bands in Ireland currently range from €160 for smaller ensembles to €2,050+ for larger groups or extended performances, with an average booking cost of €600.

5/5 from 2039 reviews
Photo of Marcella Jones & Brown Liquor Band Marcella Jones & Brown Liquor Band "I've seen them perform twice and they put on a great show! They have not disappointed. The lead singer, Marcella, is a lot of fun." 9th August 2026 Jacqueline Cureton - Performance at Moonshiners in Grayson GA Photo of Jon Rebbeck Jon Rebbeck "Jon was amazing! We initially hired Jon for our welcome party and asked for “Ibiza, easy-going vibes.” He completely delivered, creating the perfect atmosphere and getting everyone into the mood. But Jon really became the MVP of our wedding weekend when our band had to cancel on the morning of our wedding due to nearby wildfire evacuations. Our planner called Jon, and he immediately agreed to step in that same evening. He played alongside our DJ, seamlessly creating an incredible atmosphere and getting the dance floor started within minutes. Despite having never met our DJ and having very little time to prepare, he was completely professional and delivered a fantastic performance. Jon truly saved the day and gave us the live music we had dreamed of for our wedding. We’ll always be grateful for him stepping in at such short notice. We couldn’t recommend Jon highly enough!" 15th August 2026 Emily Dahuran - Wedding 25 July 2026 Photo of NoNi Trio 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." 20th August 2026 Joyce Chow & Justin Tsui - Private Wedding Photo of Solo Saxophone Smooth Jazz Artist Solo Saxophone Smooth Jazz Artist "Gabriel played at our function and was absolutely fantastic! His music was exactly what we were looking for and created the perfect atmosphere for the event. He was professional, talented and really understood the vibe we wanted. Thank you, Gabriel — you played brilliantly and we would definitely recommend you!" 21st August 2026 Bridget van der Linde - LBH Africa Photo of Dagmar & Jacopo (Swing and Jazz Duo) 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." 27th August 2026 Fae & Sebastian H. - Wedding Photo of 8-Bit Funk 8-Bit Funk "Big thank you to 8-Bit for putting on a great show. The band were super accommodating, really well organized, very communicative. They did a great job of playing background jazz at a birthday and of course all the nostalgic gaming hits. Both young(5-15) and old(40 yr olds) loved it" 22nd September 2026 Jonny - Birthday

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring jazz bands is €600, with prices from €160 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The jazz bands in Ireland 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.
