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.

Events saxophonist
"I would highly recommend Andrew for any events that you have planned! We hired Andrew to come and play at our villa for my mum’s 60th birthday which was a small party of 10 people. Andrew was very communicative through the whole process and adapted the set list according to our requests on the day.
The whole family loved having him there and my mum said it was the best birthday she’s ever had!"

"Hi Fernando, thank you so much for your wonderful jazz trio. We all really enjoyed the music and performance. Everyone had a great afternoon. I enjoyed meeting you and look forward to the next time we need live music.
Take Care, Rich"
The Tiny Musician
"What an amazing talent Joana has. We booked her to play as our guests arrived before the wedding ceremony and then as I walked down the aisle, and she did such a beautiful job. Her talent is unbelievable and the music was absolutely perfect for the ceremony.
She was also probably the easiest supplier from our entire wedding to deal with! She is the loveliest person, so friendly and made everything incredibly easy from start to finish.
Joana played such an important part in one of the biggest moments of our day and we couldn’t have chosen anyone better.
Thank you so much, Joana, for being such a special part of our wedding. I couldn’t recommend The Tiny Musician enough!"
Felipe Music Vibes
"Felipe was amazing. All our guests loved listening to his music and he made our special day that much more special.
Thank you again!"
Kajó Soares-Saxophone /Portuguese Guitar
"Kajó was incredible, one of the highlights of the day for us and all our guests. It was the perfect addition to dinner and allow people to experience Portugese culture and also bring some energy to our evening. The saxaphone during cocktails was also the perfect background to the drinks. Kajó is so talented and also a lovely person, we definitely recommend him for any event!"
