5/5 from 798 reviews
Photo of Rainer Pusch Rainer Pusch "We were so fortunate to have Rainer and his band perform at our wedding in France in September. Rainer was very easy to communicate with, and he turned our music preferences into an amazing musical celebration. Listening to him and his band perform was one of the highlights of the wedding for all of our guests! We cannot say enough about Rainer’s talent. Do not hesitate to book his services for your next event. Rainer and his band were some of the most talented musicians that we have ever heard. Thanks again Rainer!" Based in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region (11 miles from Avignon) Hannah & Carlen - Wedding Photo of Hitchen Jazz Group Hitchen Jazz Group "We saw the biggest ensemble that Hitchen Jazz provides - The Hitchen Big Band, at Montpellier Jazz Club in 2015. They played an excellent concert. David presented the concert all evening in French, with a charming English Accent. We have followed the group ever since, and we also love the Hitchen Jazz Trio. Bravissimo!" Based in Nîmes, Occitanie (24 miles from Avignon) Jean-Vincent Bec - Montpellier Jazz Club Photo of MiSax MiSax "I booked MiSax to play a surprise act at my brother's wedding and it was a fantastic decision. He played each speaker in with a song of their choice, which was such a personal touch. Guests were thrilled by the surprise and loved it from the first note. MiSax was professional, relaxed, and adapted effortlessly to every last minute change we threw at him. His playing brought so much energy and joy to the evening. I highly recommend MiSax to anyone looking to make their event extra special!" Based in Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region (53 miles from Avignon) 5th November 2026 Oscar - Private party Photo of NoNi Trio NoNi Trio "NoNi Trio gave a wonderful, graceful, and elegant performance at our wedding. Their music created exactly the warm, sophisticated atmosphere we had hoped for, and their set was one of the most memorable parts of our celebration. They were exceptionally professional, friendly, kind, and accommodating throughout the planning process. In advance of the wedding, they coordinated directly with our DJ and sound engineer to ensure that all sound-equipment requirements were sorted smoothly. They also discussed the setlist with us clearly and thoughtfully, including many of our favourite classics by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Peggy Lee, Louis Armstrong, and more. They went above and beyond by working with a friend of ours—a backing vocalist and songwriter—who had composed a song especially for us. NoNi Trio helped incorporate her performance into their set, making the moment feel especially personal and meaningful. It was an absolute pleasure working with NoNi Trio from start to finish. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for beautiful, high-quality live jazz for a wedding or special event."

I strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a professional, kind, and responsive musician for their event."

Frequently asked questions

The average price for swing bands on Gig Heaven is €750, with rates from €230 to €2,350+. 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.
