Peterson - Wedding Photo of Little Black Dress Little Black Dress "Excellent! Would consider again in the future. They were professional and extremely talented!!!" Based in Boston, Massachusetts Cidalia S. - Porsche of Nashua NH Photo of Obscure Notation Obscure Notation "It was a privilege to have you join us tonight and for you to provide such inspiring music.

For the guidance in picking our ceremony music to the day of and your kind words! It was a true joy to have you!" Based in Wrentham, Massachusetts (24 miles from Boston) 31st May 2026 Kayleigh and Chris - Private Wedding Photo of The D Train Jazz Band The D Train Jazz Band "The D Train Jazz group provided a wonderful evening of entertainment performing all the classics of the Great American Songbook. They were very professional in their approach and made themselves available to mingle with everyone during their breaks. The quality of the music was top notch and they even took a few request on songs that were not in their regular song list and did a GREAT job with it. I would highly recommend this group for your entertainment pleasure." Based in Providence, Rhode Island (41 miles from Boston) Arthur Bryant - Professional Venue Bookings Photo of Face The Music DJs and Booking Agency Face The Music DJs and Booking Agency "Brian was everything that my husband and I could've asked for. He was professional, punctual, and most importantly he did a great job with the music selection. He was also able to provide a mic and amp for some live music during the ceremony, and played piano for us during the cocktail hour. We really appreciated having someone so multi-talented for our event. We gave Brian a smaller list of must-play songs, and with that outline he was able to fill in the gaps effectively with what the crowd was feeling. We didn't have to worry about the music all night, and he was mingling and getting requests from the guests with his iPad (a favorite detail of the guests'). Our wedding was a huge success in no small part because of Brian, and we cannot recommend him enough." Based in Amherst, Massachusetts (74 miles from Boston) Alison Kuzara - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring jazz bands is $650, with prices from $190 to $2,300+. 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.
