5/5 from 862 reviews
Photo of Oui! Paris Oui! Paris "Live music at the cocktail reception After giving it a lot of thought, we decided to have a live saxophone performance at the wedding cocktail reception, with a brilliant set list that we didn’t want to change. We’re really glad we went ahead with it, because it was perfect in the garden: the guests were relaxed with the music playing, and it created a magical atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend it!" Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region 17th April 2026 Lara & Josh - Private Wedding Photo of Swinging Lovers Swinging Lovers "Paddy is a trombone player and a great singer, from Dublin, and has been living and playing in Paris for the last 30 years. He had the whole audience in the palm of his hand and the atmosphere was electric." Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region Mary Black - Concert Photo of Petra Penttilä Petra Penttilä "My experience with Petra was superb. She showed up on time, was very professional and has such a pleasant spirit. Thank you Petra for adding that special touch of making this evening beautiful!" Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region Petra Penttila - Private Boat Party for Wedding weekend Photo of MotorBop - Jon Crocco MotorBop - Jon Crocco "I just listened to your recording, bravo to you and the other musicians! It's very pleasant to listen to and not as dark as that, compared to Chet Baker's Almost Blue, one of the rare pieces of music I really know from him along with My Funny Valentine. It mainly made me dive back into the atmosphere of a very good film noir by Louis Malle from the late 1950s in Paris "Ascenseur pour l'échaffaud", the soundtrack is by Miles Davis" Translated from French Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region Anonyme Photo of Tom Fitzpatrick - Swing & Soul Singer Tom Fitzpatrick - Swing & Soul Singer "Tom performed at our wedding and we were all blown away. He had an amazing voice, which was so easy to listen to. Tom created a brilliant atmosphere with his music and even got our guests up dancing in no time! He really got us involved and we couldn't have asked for a better performance. He received so many compliments from our guests and the staff. Tom definitely made our evening even more enjoyable and we will book him again when ever we have the chance! Thank you so much for being apart of our wedding day and truly exceeding our expectations." Based in Eastbourne, England, United Kingdom Becky Hill – Essex - Wedding Photo of Tritone Tritone "What can I say? Thanks so much for making everything so easy. You showed up on time, unlike us, you looked great and the music was exactly what I wanted! Brilliant!" Based in Brighton, England, United Kingdom 19th March 2026 Kirin - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average price for swing bands on Gig Heaven is €750, with rates from €230 to €2,400+. 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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

The swing bands in Normandy, France 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.

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.
