Photo of Ashford Gordon & the Local Group Ashford Gordon & the Local Group "Ashford Gordon & the Local Group played for our corporate holiday gathering. Everyone was moving to the music and their musicianship and professionalism was superb." Based in Diamond Bar, California (24 miles from Riverside) Michael Krueger - Jackson and Hobbs Accounting Photo of Dave Thomasson Music Dave Thomasson Music "Dave was so gooood! He make that sax sing AND talk. My wife had a request, and Dave knocked it out the park, just like he was the original artist, even BETTER. We had about 150 people and Dave had everyone tuned into his music. Professional, courteous, friendly, and very easy going. He mingled well the guests. I am absolutely going to book him again and again. He made our July 4th celebration, the talk of Ontario. Thank you so much Dave, you are truly humble and you minister to people through your music. God bless you." Based in Covina, California (30 miles from Riverside) Harris B Photo of Cheryl Cheryl "Beautiful voice that will take you on a best of Jazz tour" Based in San Juan Capistrano, California (35 miles from Riverside) Carlos L. - The Renaissance, Dana Point Photo of Seps' Saxophone Experience Seps' Saxophone Experience "Seps is the best!!! My husband and I got married last week at Falkner Winery in Temecula and Seps was the absolute star of the show! All of my guests have been raving about how good he was and made the night so unique and unforgettable. He was incredibly easy to work with throughout the wedding planning process, and I did not personally have to handle any of the coordination or communication with our venues DJ. Seps and him met multiple times prior to the big day to make sure the grand entrance, dinner, and reception were seamless. My husband and I are big DJ people, but we knew that having a live instrument to pair with the music would make the experience more interactive and fun. Seps absolutely brought that and everyone was on their feet the entire night thanks to him! He’s incredibly professional, easy to communicate with, and friendly with other wedding guests. Do yourself a favor, and book with Seps! The price for the value he adds is an incredible deal and you won’t regret working with him. He will elevate your event and be the highlight of the night!" Based in Laguna Beach, California (36 miles from Riverside) Renee D. - Wedding Reception Photo of Tyler Varnell | Saxophone-DJ Tyler Varnell | Saxophone-DJ "WOW. Tyler Varnell is a superstar! I'm not exaggerating when I say every single guest approached us during the wedding to tell us how incredible Tyler was. He is engaging, fun, talented and knows how to get the party started and keep it going. His song book covers all genres, and he played a variety of music that appealed to all guests, regardless of age (my girlfriends went INSANE when he played "Mr. Brightside" -- he can do it all!). If you are looking for entertainment to truly "wow" your guests, hire Tyler. You won't be disappointed!!"

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring jazz bands is $650, with prices from $180 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.
