We gave him a few songs we wanted and left the rest upto him, he built the atmosphere with each sing and led us perfectly into our reception. Didn’t want his set to end. Can not recommend highly enough. Really nice guy and a true professional performer 👌🏼👌🏼" Based in Leicester, England (24 miles from Derby) 8th September 2026 Nick & Vicki Moy - Wedding Photo of Rich Hazlewood Rich Hazlewood "We had the pleasure of Rich singing last night at my Dad’s 80th party. What a voice and he played a great selection of songs which everyone loved. He made the atmosphere amazing and everyone was dancing, or foot tapping! If you are looking for the wow factor , this guy has it all. We will definitely book him again. Thanks Rich, you put a smile on many faces, and I’m sure everyone is still humming those tunes this morning 😊" Based in Leek, England (26 miles from Derby) Sharon Dysart-Chesworth - Private Party Photo of Justin Holcroft Justin Holcroft "Justin’s performance was intimate and stunning at the same time. Great communication, very effective preparation and coverage by someone who can play the sax, from Jazz, swing to lounge and bar background music. We would highly recommend Justin to anyone interested in high-quality, paired with a down-to-earth mindset and to-the-point delivery."

Raphael Dawkins - Vocalist DJ - RD ENTERTAINMENT" Based in Birmingham, England (35 miles from Derby) Raphael Dawkins - Ibiza saxophone Photo of Casado - A Classy Saxophone and Guitar Duo Casado - A Classy Saxophone and Guitar Duo "We booked Casado for our wedding on the 14th March 2020 and would highly recommend them. Sharon and Martyn were professional, supportive and made our ceremony very special. From the very beginning, Casado were there to support our ideas, offer suggestions and took away a huge element of stress by liaising directly with the venue which was a great help on the lead up to the day. Casado offer great flexibility with regards to what they can offer, for our ceremony we had solo guitar whilst guests were seated and then violin and guitar duet for the ceremony including music whilst signing the register. Casado are excellent musicians with lots of experience and the feedback from our guests was amazing. Thank you for being part of our special day." Based in Birmingham, England (35 miles from Derby) Chloe and Josh - Wedding- Pendrell Hall

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring jazz bands is £500, with prices from £130 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.
