Photo of Saxophone Simon - Party Sax - Xmas/2026 Saxophone Simon - Party Sax - Xmas/2026 "Simon was absolutely fab! He took us through a lot of options and we went for light music during photos and with our DJ for the reception. Having Simon play was a real highlight of the day. He was amazing and so many guests said just how fun it was. There were a few songs me and Steve really wanted - he really got what we were looking for with the music for the day. We loved him and I don’t think it would have been quite the same without him playing and the atmosphere he naturally brought. Great guy and a really great day" Based in Wellington (9 miles from Lower Hutt) Lacey Mulhearn - Wedding Photo of The Graduates The Graduates "We recently hired The Graduates for our corporate event to provide jazz music during our cocktail event. Mike was super helpful easy to deal with in the lead up to the event, and the band were fantastic on the night and our guests loved the music! Highly recommended, we will definitely be using them for our next event." Based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (1,389 miles from Lower Hutt) 27th July 2026 Cherish - Corporate Event Photo of Liz Player Jazz Singer Liz Player Jazz Singer "Could not be happier with Liz and the duo that sang and played at my wife's 50th Birthday arranged at last minute - highly recommend them." Based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (1,389 miles from Lower Hutt) Chad - 50th Birthday 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." Based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (1,389 miles from Lower Hutt) Alexa - Private Wedding Photo of Les Mélomanes "The Music Lovers" Les Mélomanes "The Music Lovers" "Les Mélomanes set the perfect atmosphere for our recent mixer, the music was just what we wanted. - February 2023" Based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (1,389 miles from Lower Hutt) Turner Studios - Corporate Photo of Sydney Jazz Collective Sydney Jazz Collective "I wanted to pass on my thanks to the Sydney Jazz Collective. The guys did a fantastic job and the feedback from the audience was great. Thanks for your help in organizing everything."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring jazz bands is $1,200, with prices from $320 to $4,250+. 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.
