5/5 from 735 reviews
Photo of Beauty Shop Dolls Beauty Shop Dolls "Thank you Beauty Shop Dolls for making our Christmas party magical. We had a blast! We loved everything about your show, it was classy and perfectly planned on theme. The dress changes were a beautiful touch, to an already fabulous performance (I especially loved the blue feathers 😊). Everyone in the office is still buzzing from the dance class too. Highly, highly recommended!" Based in Vancouver, British Columbia T Dic - Company 1920s Christmas Party Photo of Good Co Good Co "We hired Good Co for our 1920's themed holiday party. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, especially when we asked if they would follow our leadership around the office as they gathered people for the party. Awesome talent, great at judging sound vs space. Our office is pretty echo-y and loud, but they found the right balance immediately. Definitely keeping on the books for next time!" Based in Seattle, Washington, United States (119 miles from Vancouver) Ashley V - Corporate Party Photo of Campbell's Jazz Soup Campbell's Jazz Soup "THANK YOU for being such an incredible part of our wedding! The music set the perfect tone from the very start—elegant, lively, and full of joy. You created such a wonderful atmosphere during cocktail hour, and our guests kept telling us how much they loved having live jazz as part of the day." Based in San Rafael, California, United States (780 miles from Vancouver) 30th June 2026 Christine C Photo of Ken Weiner | Jazz 🎷 Ken Weiner | Jazz 🎷 "Ken and his trio were excellent. Their playing really helped make the night. Highly recommended!" Based in Los Angeles, California, United States (1,079 miles from Vancouver) 21st September 2026 Bryan - Birthday party Photo of Elite Jazz Band Elite Jazz Band "I had an incredible experience! I had the opportunity to have Igor and Sergei play the double bass and piano for my proposal, and it couldn’t have been more beautiful. We spoke over Zoom and on the phone to go over the details, and they truly understood my vision. They even checked out some of the songs I wanted to include. They arrived on time and delivered an unforgettable performance. I will definitely hire them again for future events and highly recommend them" Based in Los Angeles, California, United States (1,079 miles from Vancouver) Hector Photo of Dan Olivo - Jazz, Swing, Big Band & Pop Dan Olivo - Jazz, Swing, Big Band & Pop "Dan and his band was amazing I threw my wife a surprise 10 year cancer remission party and found Dan Olivo on GigSalad. Soon as I talked to him I knew he was the right person for this special event. He definitely provided a memorable night and was the highlight of the party. I would recommend him without any reservations and can't wait to see him perform again." Based in Los Angeles, California, United States (1,079 miles from Vancouver) Ayaz B - Birthday Celebration

Frequently asked questions

The average price for swing bands on Gig Heaven is $1,250, with rates from $350 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 for hire 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
