Photo of The Easy Rollers The Easy Rollers "We couldn’t have been happier with the band who made it such a special night. They were a perfect choice for us with a great look, sound and spirit that got everyone in the party mood. Dani and the gang are excellent performers and really made the extra effort to make the Gatsby/1920s 1920s-themed night one to remember." Based in Manchester, England (11 miles from Bolton) 30th June 2026 Paul - Gatsby Themed 50th Birthday Party Photo of Dinner Jazz Duo Dinner Jazz Duo "Thanks so so much! The music was lovely and really well received. Sorry we didn’t get to say hello properly - was all a bit frantic." Based in Manchester, England (11 miles from Bolton) 13th January 2026 Lili C - Private Wedding Photo of The Not Quite Big Band The Not Quite Big Band "Wow wow wow! These guys were absolutely incredible! Words can’t describe! We hired the NQBB for our wedding back in October and we think it was the best wedding decision we made! Will was super through all stages of the process, from enquiries before booking, through to set list selections and sorting out logistics, he was so friendly, with excellent communication and always had time to answer our queries. On the day itself they arrived in plenty of time to set up and you could tell the guests were getting excited for what was to come. It was what we were most looking forward to about the day and it more than exceeded our expectations! What was wonderful was seeing everyone dancing - all the generations. They are such amazing performers and so engaging getting all on the dance floor involved! Our guests are still raving about ‘THE band’ and rightly so! Thank you so much NQBB, you most certainly made the day!" Based in Manchester, England (11 miles from Bolton) Pip J - Wedding Photo of Naked Stereo Naked Stereo "You created such an amazing atmosphere and an unforgettable day/ night for my sister's wedding. Thank you so much Paul and Crissie. A perfect afternoon acoustic set and then an incredible party in the evening. Absolutely top. Everyone was talking about how great you were." Based in Manchester, England (11 miles from Bolton) Janelle - Wedding Photo of The Jelly Roll Jazz Band The Jelly Roll Jazz Band "Professional from start to finish.A lovely bunch of lads who played their hearts out and wowed the old and the young.The choice of music was determined by them and was absolutely perfect for the occasion. I would highly recommend." Based in Manchester, England (11 miles from Bolton) Laura Marshall - 90th birthday Photo of Cooper and the Makerfields Cooper and the Makerfields "I have seen Cooper and the Makerfields numerous times now. They are a fantastic well established blues/jazz/roots band. They have completed many local venues, and this summer have played at four festivals. They also have played for a number of charities without taking payment. Lovely guys. They never fail to be asked to play an encore. No venue is too big, or too small. The band adapts to the venues needs." Based in Manchester, England (11 miles from Bolton) Karen Jones - Festival

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring jazz bands is £500, with prices from £150 to £1,700+. 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.
