Photo of Dagmar's Collective Dagmar's Collective "Dagmar & her band was truly amazing! They performed three of our favourite songs during our wedding ceremony, all exceptionally well. It was above and beyond our (high) expectations. They also did wonderful performances during the following aperitivo. Everyone to Dagmar is pure professionalism and talent. Wow!!" Based in Milan, Lombardy 10th November 2026 Tor and Christina - Wedding Photo of Roberto Galanto MUSIC MANAGER - SINGER Roberto Galanto MUSIC MANAGER - SINGER "Roberto played at our wedding and is fantastic! He is so talented and very professional, and also so friendly and kind. He listened and understood what kind of music we wanted and every song he did was fantastic. He has a brilliant voice, and all our guests commented saying how great and talented he is. Would recommend Roberto to anyone. He’s a real talent! Thank you for making our wedding so very special and memorable" Based in Bari, Apulia 8th November 2026 Katie Marklew - Wedding Photo of TIBi Events Production - Music Planning TIBi Events Production - Music Planning "I can't thank TIBI Events enough for helping me plan the perfect proposal in Florence. From the first message, they were friendly, helpful, and always happy to answer my questions. What I really appreciated was their honesty and experience. Everything on the day was organised perfectly. The team worked together seamlessly, and it all felt relaxed and natural. Because of their hard work, I was able to focus on the moment and enjoy it with my now fiancée. The proposal was perfect, and the photos are beautiful. We will remember this day for the rest of our lives. If you are thinking about planning a proposal or special event in Florence, I highly recommend TIBI Events. Thank you again for making such an important day so special❤️" Based in Florence, Tuscany 23rd October 2026 Rohanvir Sangha Photo of Jazzrain Jazzrain "Jazzrain was exactly what we were looking for. They managed to make our wedding unique. The violinist, accompanied by the keyboard player during the ceremony, made everything more magical. The aperitif with a jazz rhythm gave the right atmosphere. The singer's heavenly voice was the icing on the cake. Finally, the drummer Mattia, who accompanied us throughout the whole process with the choice of songs, was truly available, prepared and super professional. We could not have made a better choice for our big day" Translated from Italian Based in Milan, Lombardy 16th October 2026 Cristina Mortero - Matrimonio Photo of Random Project Random Project "There are good musicians, musicians who know how to entertain, and musicians who manage to convey something special. Daniela and Sergio manage to do all three things, with a disarming naturalness. The Random Duo are, above all, two wonderful, genuine, passionate people, with whom it is always a pleasure to share music, evenings and moments of life. On stage they have a beautiful rapport, made of talent, passion, complicity, sensitivity and that healthy dose of irony that never hurts. They manage to engage without being intrusive, to move people without taking themselves too seriously, and to make even the simplest evening special. We are fortunate to know them beyond the music, and perhaps this is precisely their added value!" Translated from Italian Based in Milan, Lombardy 12th October 2026 MICHELE COLANGELO - EVENTO AZIENDALE Photo of Gajè Gipsy Swing Gajè Gipsy Swing "Nothing but compliments for this band! They created such a lively vibe for our welcome party, no request was an issue, even played on in the dark when we had lighting issues. Our day was a whirlwind of activity as we arrived and organised everything for our 3 day event but it was so lovely that our welcome party was exactly what we had imagined thanks to them." Based in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna 9th October 2026 Kelly - Welcome party

Frequently asked questions

The average price for swing bands on Gig Heaven is €800, with rates from €230 to €2,000+. 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 in Italy 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.
