Based in Milton Keynes, England Cameron G - Wedding Photo of Wiseiris Wiseiris "I've seen wiseiris perform before and he also is based near us. It was a no brainer to hire him for our event. Communication leading up to the event was perfect with everything laid out. He arrived early to the venue for soundcheck and delivered an amazing set. If you want a multi talented musician with songs you can feel I would recommend wiseiris in a heart beat and we can't wait to have him back to perform for us in 2026."

Based in Letchworth Garden City, England (23 miles from Milton Keynes) Patricia Hunter - Community Event - 09/06/19 Photo of Mellowtone Jazz Trio Mellowtone Jazz Trio "The Mellowtone Jazz Trio played for us at an evening reception for our son's Bar Mitzvah, and they were outstanding. We were aiming for a relaxed chilled out atmosphere in a marquee in our back garden, and their music provided the perfect backdrop. We had masses of compliments from family and friends, and we would not hesitate to recommend them. The process of inquiring and booking them was also simple and a pleasure. Thanks for a wonderful evening!" Based in St Albans, England (27 miles from Milton Keynes) Jemma Levene 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 (29 miles from Milton Keynes) Shirley Northover - Private party

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring jazz bands is £500, with prices from £140 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.
