Reviews of Swing Bands available in Italy

5/5 from 906 reviews
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 Photo of Sara Longo, jazz singer, jazz band. Sara Longo, jazz singer, jazz band. "Sara Longo has been recommended from a friend, who is a booking agent in jazz festivals. She has a descrete caracter but what a voice!! Always ready to help, she is stunningly professional in the choice of her musicians and of her repertoire. She ends up making everybody happy, but can also move the crown with those wonderful Napolitan ballads. I want more!!!!" Based in Venice, Veneto 6th October 2026 Jason L. - private event Photo of Erika Petti Erika Petti "Booking Erika was hands down one of the best decision we made for our wedding day. Prompt and professional communication. Planning the music with her is an effortless mission. Her performance went far beyond our expectations. A top-level artist with a breathtaking voice. Thank you again, Erika, for making our special day so magical. If you are looking for a talented and genuinely lovely person to add something special to your big day, look no further!" Based in Rome, Latium 1st October 2026 Pam - Private Wedding Photo of Andrea Pinsuti Andrea Pinsuti "Andrea was exceptional!! He played at my sons wedding and was an integral part of making it so special and memorable. Andrea played the music for the ceremony, the cocktails, the dinner and the dancing afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

The average price for swing bands on Gig Heaven is €750, with rates from €200 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.

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.

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.

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.

The swing bands 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.

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.
