5/5 from 92 reviews
Photo of The Sax Sound The Sax Sound "Absolutely amazing, created such a great atmosphere on our boat party and made it very memorable!" Based in Reading, England (6 miles from Henley on Thames) 17th August 2026 Caroline - Private event Photo of Fleur Stevenson Jazz Duo/Trio/Quartet Fleur Stevenson Jazz Duo/Trio/Quartet "We used Fleur and team for the cocktail part of the evening and it was good background entertainment. Fleur has a great tone. I also saw her at a smaller party and she did a good job then." Based in Wallingford, England (11 miles from Henley on Thames) Susan McErlain - cocktail party Photo of Tom Neill (Solo/Duo/Bands) Tom Neill (Solo/Duo/Bands) "Tom is a highly talented musician as well as being very professional when communicating and engaging with clients. We recently asked Tom to perform at an event in Cookham. The band were excellent, the client was delighted - wouldn't hesitate in recommending." Based in Windsor, England (13 miles from Henley on Thames) Jumping Giraffe Events - Events Management Photo of Pauline and the Imaginary Friends Pauline and the Imaginary Friends "I’ve seen Pauline and the Imaginary Friends perform several times now and their show is always full of energy and fun. Pauline has great vocals with a quirky style that is engaging and entertaining, and her adaptations of the songs are unique and interesting." Based in Staines-upon-Thames, England (18 miles from Henley on Thames) Shelle Luscombe Photo of Add Hock Add Hock "Feet tapped, eyes shone, hands clapped and hips and heads rolled as the brilliance of the great song writers Gershwin, Porter, Warren, Berlin and others became the hymns of this Saturday evening. But light-hearted as most of the music was, there was contrast in the emotive classic 'Every Time we say Goodbye' sung by the nightingale Gaylene Parish (close your eyes and it was Ella Fitzgerald)." Based in Newbury, England (20 miles from Henley on Thames) Alan Dowding, for the Hailey Herald - Concert Photo of Chameleon jazz funk band Chameleon jazz funk band "Chameleon are a fantastic band! They make great music which they obviously enjoy as much as their audience do. Their demo tapes don't do them justice. Guests at our party included lots of musicians from a range of genres and all commented on how good this band is and how much they enjoyed their music. They're also nice people and very easy to deal with. They arrived in very good time and set up with no fuss. We cannot recommend them too highly." Based in Oxford, England (21 miles from Henley on Thames) Shirley Northover - Private party

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.
