A guide to booking

Hire Jazz Singers in Reading, England, United Kingdom

Jazz singers in Reading, England, United Kingdom perform at weddings, corporate functions, milestone birthdays and cocktail receptions.

Choosing the Right Format

Lock in song requests early, as experienced vocalists are usually happy to learn a first dance or ceremony song with six to eight weeks' notice.

Photo of Fleur Stevenson Jazz Duo/Trio/Quartet Fleur Stevenson Jazz Duo/Trio/Quartet "We used Fleur and team for the cocktail part of the evening and it was good background entertainment. Fleur has a great tone. I also saw her at a smaller party and she did a good job then." Based in Wallingford, England (12 miles from Reading) Susan McErlain - cocktail party Photo of Anna Nightingale Vintage Jazz swing Singer Anna Nightingale Vintage Jazz swing Singer "Stephanie M August 2022 5 out of 5 I booked Anna as a solo act for my Parents 50th wedding anniversary. From the moment I enquired online, Anna's communication was flawless. She made me feel very confident in all aspects, including but certainly not limited to song requests and act requirements. Anna was kind enough to bring a card for my parents and she was respectful and mindful when I told her a few days prior to the event that a family member had passed away. Anna went out of her way to pay tribute on the night and even allowed my father to do the same. I couldn't recommend her enough - truly a great artist and even greater person. regards Stephanie" Based in Maidenhead, England (12 miles from Reading) Stephanie - Annniversary party Photo of Jen Merchant Jen Merchant "Dear Jen, Wow, what can I say to express how much Tony and I enjoyed our Wedding Reception… The afternoon champagne reception and your evening's entertainment set were both excellent - everyone has commented how much they enjoyed you’re your singing. "Best wedding singer ever" is one of the many comments that people keep repeating, you made our day so special. You looked absolutely stunning, the music was perfect, both sets. Lot's of our guests have asked me where I found you! I hope you are delighted with so many positive, heartfelt comments. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to everyone we know. When I initially spoke to you on the 'phone, you were so helpful and confident that you could provide what I wanted... and you certainly did. Thank you for helping to make our day so memorable. I run Hotels for a living and have booked many acts in my time, I really wanted that perfect sound for our wedding, I you pulled it off, including or first dance by Etta James. I hope to have another excuse to enjoy your company again in the not too distant future and book you all over again" Based in Aldershot, England (17 miles from Reading) Suzanne and Tony - Wedding Photo of The Cocktail Hour Jazz Band The Cocktail Hour Jazz Band "Matt was so professional and easy to work with, the music was on point and created just the right atmosphere for our function. We will definitely be hiring Matt again in the future." Based in Shepperton, England (23 miles from Reading) Jin Goh - Private Party Photo of Jazz And The Tonics Jazz And The Tonics "Jazz and the Tonics came and performed at Leith's at Beaulieu for a corporate event on the 28th July 2018. They were professional and friendly to deal with and not only that but were AMAZING performers. Emily's voice is just out of this world with everyone complementing her. I would 100% recommend Jazz & The Tonics to other corporates or wedding parties." Based in Guildford, England (23 miles from Reading) Sarah Goodyear - Corporate Client - Sunseeker Corporate Event Photo of Greenvines Duo Greenvines Duo "Thank you so much to Greenvines for their amazing performance at my husband’s birthday party. They are both highly talented musicians and their performance really added a sense of magic on the night. Their repertoire is varied and has clearly been very carefully curated to incorporate different decades and genres of music that suit their unique ‘sound’ as a band. The set list for the night and volume level were perfect for the event and our guests were very impressed! They were an absolute pleasure to work with in every respect, both in the run-up to the event and on the night and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fabulous duo for their event."

Frequently asked questions

Hiring jazz singers typically costs between £110 and £1,050+, with an average of £350. Rates depend on the singer's experience, performance duration and whether the vocalist performs with a live band, backing tracks or as part of a duo. Jazz singers are a popular choice for drinks receptions, corporate dinners and evening entertainment.

Small private events are common bookings, and a singer with one musician suits a room where a full group would overwhelm the space. Many performers scale the same set down for a private dining room and up for a larger function. Venue limits on volume or space are worth mentioning early, as they usually decide the format rather than the repertoire.

The jazz singers perform a range of vocal jazz styles including classic standards, swing, bossa nova, soul-jazz, jazz-pop crossover and Rat Pack-inspired sets. Many jazz singers have a wide repertoire that spans several decades of popular and jazz music.

Most jazz singers are happy to learn specific songs for special moments such as a first dance. Jazz singers are often skilled at arranging well-known songs in a jazz style. It is advisable to make song requests in advance to allow time for preparation.

Ceremony singing is less common than reception work, since the repertoire is different, but many singers will cover both where the timings allow. Drinks receptions, the meal and the evening are the usual slots, and they are often quoted as one booking rather than separately. Agreeing which parts of the day are covered at the enquiry stage avoids paying for gaps in between.

Hiring jazz singers is ideal for wedding receptions, cocktail hours, corporate events, gala dinners, private parties and restaurant entertainment. A jazz vocalist brings warmth, personality and sophistication to any occasion.

Many jazz singers perform with a live accompanist (usually piano or guitar), a small jazz combo or a full band. Some also offer performances with professional backing tracks. A live band provides the most authentic jazz experience. It is worth checking each singer's available formats.

Dinner sets are a standard part of the work, pitched at a level that lets conversation carry rather than as a featured performance. The same singer will often lift the set afterwards, when the room is ready to listen or dance. Saying which parts of the evening are background and which are the focus shapes how the sets are built.
