His music is great!" Based in Miami, Florida (24 miles from Fort Lauderdale) Gus Row - Epicure Cafe Photo of Master Musicians Incorporated Master Musicians Incorporated "I would strongly discourage anyone from using Master Musicians for a wedding. One of the most important moments of our wedding day, the processional, was mishandled despite clear communication and advance planning. Prior to the wedding, I spent over 30 minutes speaking with Julie Block reviewing our ceremony details. During that conversation, we specifically discussed our processional music, including "Can't Help Falling in Love." When I asked whether she already had the sheet music, she told me she did. At no point did she indicate there was any uncertainty about the song selection or that additional information was needed. In addition, all of our songs and ceremony instructions were provided to the company on July 17, 2026, including specific notes regarding instrumental versions. Despite those instructions, our wedding officiant unexpectedly walked in to Taylor Swift vocals being played over the sound system. This was not supposed to happen. The music was intended to be instrumental only. Not only was it inappropriate for that moment, but it caught our officiant completely by surprise and disrupted the beginning of our ceremony. What makes this even more frustrating is the explanation we received afterward. Julie claimed that because we only provided the song and artist name for "Can't Help Falling in Love," she downloaded a version from YouTube and that we should have provided an exact link. Yet this was never mentioned during our lengthy planning call, nor when she confirmed she already had the music. Had this been communicated beforehand, it could have been resolved easily. How can a professional music company utilize YouTube for a full track, when that is meant for video versions of songs? Julie also acknowledged in writing that the violinist played the vocal version of Taylor Swift's "Love Story" instead of the instrumental version and stated that he "second guessed the instructions and chose poorly." In other words, the company admits that its musician ignored the instructions provided. Rather than taking full responsibility for a mistake that affected one of the most meaningful moments of our wedding ceremony, the response focused on shifting blame back to us for not providing an exact track link, despite prior assurances that the music was already available and despite the fact that the wrong Taylor Swift version was admittedly played. They not only declined to offer a refund for these mistakes, but then said they would "waive the charge" for our wedding starting late—even though the delay was due to rain. The violinist never introduced himself or asked whether we wanted him to stay. In fact, had he left, our processional likely would not have been disrupted, because I had already provided the DJ with Spotify track links to our wedding music as a backup in case of an emergency. Weddings require attention to detail, clear communication, and careful execution of agreed-upon instructions. Unfortunately, our experience with Master Musicians fell short in all three areas. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend them to couples who are relying on their vendors to handle important ceremonial moments correctly."

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.
