Photo of Saxophone,Wedding sax Saxophone,Wedding sax "We had Petro performing at our wedding of 130 people in Edmonton July 11 and he was AMAZING !! Very talented played a lot of really cool covers and a lot of really impressive riffs , we had him playing some light sax during our cocktail hour then he played along with our dj and played solo near the end . Alot of people said it was their favourite part of our wedding . I will be highly recommending him to any of my friends getting married in the future he really helped us have a super memorable night . Thanks again Petro" Based in Calgary, Alberta 21st July 2026 Jacob & Bea - Wedding Photo of The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band "Perfect Jazz Band! Secured The Kensie Jazz Band for our 30th Anniversary corporate event. From start to finish they were perfect. Perfect background music while guests are engaging in the social circuit. Perfect background music while being seated and served for dinner. The band can adjust their sound level to your preference. They play a range of music. A live band is a classy touch and adds ambience to any event rather than a standard DJ. It is a completely different vibe. Nice group of people! Good pricing as well. Thank you!" Based in Toronto, Ontario Jenifer F. - Cocktail and Dinner Music Photo of Swing Shift Big Band/Wedding Band Swing Shift Big Band/Wedding Band "Thank YOU and the band so much - I'm only sorry we cut into your playing time (speeches and photos)! Everyone absolutely loved the band and was blown away by your sets- we'll hope to catch you and the full Swing Shift band at the Rex sometime in the future and buy you a drink!"

We loved everything about your show, it was classy and perfectly planned on theme.

Highly, highly recommended!" Based in Vancouver, British Columbia T Dic - Company 1920s Christmas Party Photo of Trevor Salloum Jazz Trio Trevor Salloum Jazz Trio "Thank you so much, Trevor!

Frequently asked questions

The average price for swing bands on Gig Heaven is $1,100, with rates from $320 to $3,800+. Cost varies based on the number of musicians, set length and the style of swing. Swing bands range from intimate jazz combos to large orchestras, and the size of the ensemble is the primary factor in pricing.

The swing bands in Canada perform swing, big band jazz, jive, boogie-woogie and related styles from the 1930s through to the modern swing revival. Many bands offer a mix of vintage classics and contemporary songs performed in a swing style.

Most perform in vintage-styled suits or dresses in keeping with the era, and many will match a black-tie or 1940s theme if asked. Some carry more than one look and will confirm which suits the occasion. Mentioning the theme when enquiring is usually enough, as it rarely affects the fee.

Swing is written for dancing and most bands build the set around it, varying the tempo so the floor stays busy rather than holding one pace all night. Several will run a short demonstration early on at events where guests do not know the steps. A floor area clear of tables makes far more difference to this than the size of the line-up.

The swing bands on Gig Heaven range from small combos of three to five musicians up to full big band line-ups with horn sections and vocalists. A smaller group suits intimate settings, while a larger ensemble delivers the classic big band swing sound.

Most swing bands are self-contained and bring their own instruments, PA system and amplification. Larger ensembles may have specific staging requirements. It is worth confirming technical and space needs with the band before booking.

Most line-ups include one, and in smaller groups the singer often doubles on an instrument. Some acts are instrumental only, which works well for background playing but changes the feel once people want to dance. Profiles say which format each act offers and several can supply either.

Typical bookings for swing bands include vintage-themed weddings, black-tie dinners, corporate events, cocktail parties, swing dance nights and gala celebrations. Swing music creates a sophisticated, energetic atmosphere that is perfect for dancing.
