Live jazz groups bring a polished, adaptable sound to weddings and events near you. 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 locally also offer themed sets, including 1920s Gatsby-era jazz, bossa nova, and modern pop songs rearranged in a swing style.
Jazz bands in Rye currently range from £150 for smaller ensembles to £1,750+ for larger groups or extended performances, with an average booking cost of £500.

Ladies of Jazz and Swing
"Dagmar and her accompanist are the real deal. While deciding who to hire I watched her videos on here performing to larger crowds but we hired her to perform for just nine people prior to a dinner party and they did not disappoint. Dagmar's inimitable sultry vocals as well as her repertoire are perfect for this genre of music and her professional playful nature was felt by everyone. Her piano player was truly transcendent providing intervals of technique and skill you don't often find with accompanist. They also were very accommodating with song selection and timing during the evening.
We all loved them!"
Jon Rebbeck
"Jon was amazing! We initially hired Jon for our welcome party and asked for “Ibiza, easy-going vibes.” He completely delivered, creating the perfect atmosphere and getting everyone into the mood.
But Jon really became the MVP of our wedding weekend when our band had to cancel on the morning of our wedding due to nearby wildfire evacuations. Our planner called Jon, and he immediately agreed to step in that same evening.
He played alongside our DJ, seamlessly creating an incredible atmosphere and getting the dance floor started within minutes. Despite having never met our DJ and having very little time to prepare, he was completely professional and delivered a fantastic performance.
Jon truly saved the day and gave us the live music we had dreamed of for our wedding. We’ll always be grateful for him stepping in at such short notice. We couldn’t recommend Jon highly enough!"
Solo Saxophone Smooth Jazz Artist

He was professional, talented and really understood the vibe we wanted. Thank you, Gabriel — you played brilliantly and we would definitely recommend you!"
Pausa Caffè
"Pausa Caffè were a wonderful addition to our event. Their music was elegant, refined and perfectly suited to the atmosphere of Parole in Sila. The combination of beautiful vocals and piano created a warm and engaging atmosphere without ever overpowering the event. They were professional, well organised and a pleasure to work with. We would definitely recommend them for cultural events and special occasions."
Semi L
"Semi flew in to Mauritius and we cannot thank her enough for her contribution to our special day. She was professional, friendly, well dressed to our floral dress code and chatted even with our guests creating a laid back atmosphere. She was a massive hit with everybody with her first Teresa Teng's most famous and iconic song is "The Moon Represents My Heart" (月亮代表我的心). She also built a custom setlist based on our music choices which was incredibly special. We can't fault her or recommend her highly enough. 谢谢 Xièxiè Semi."
Midnight Magic Band
"I go support all the bands in the city and I must say Midnight Magic is the Best in the city the vocal harmonies are tight, the band is solid, and song selection is very different and they're not using tracks this is real live music."
