5/5 from 1071 reviews
Photo of Ladies of Jazz and Swing Ladies of Jazz and Swing "Dagmar and her accompanist are the real deal. While deciding who to hire I watched her videos on here performing to larger crowds but we hired her to perform for just nine people prior to a dinner party and they did not disappoint. Dagmar's inimitable sultry vocals as well as her repertoire are perfect for this genre of music and her professional playful nature was felt by everyone. Her piano player was truly transcendent providing intervals of technique and skill you don't often find with accompanist. They also were very accommodating with song selection and timing during the evening. We all loved them!" 1st July 2026 Mark Scofield - Private Party Photo of Jazz Bands Monaco—Jazz Central Agency Jazz Bands Monaco—Jazz Central Agency "The performance was absolutely outstanding. Everything was arranged professionally, and the music created a sophisticated atmosphere that perfectly matched our event. We received many compliments from our guests." 3rd July 2026 Daniella de Jong - Corporate Reception Photo of Julia Hornung & Collectif Django Julia Hornung & Collectif Django "A wonderful performance that truly elevated our event. The band brought a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe, and many guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music. We would highly recommend them; super reliable, communicative and kind :)" 7th July 2026 Bethany Oates - Beazley Photo of NoNi Trio NoNi Trio "NoNi Trio a offert une prestation merveilleuse, gracieuse et élégante lors de notre mariage. Leur musique a créé exactement l’atmosphère chaleureuse et raffinée que nous espérions, et leur concert a été l’un des moments les plus mémorables de notre célébration. Ils ont fait preuve d’un grand professionnalisme, tout en étant très sympathiques, attentionnés et disponibles tout au long de la préparation. Avant le mariage, ils ont coordonné directement avec notre DJ et notre ingénieur du son afin que tous les besoins techniques et de sonorisation soient parfaitement organisés. Ils ont également échangé avec nous de manière très claire et attentive au sujet de la playlist, en intégrant de nombreux classiques que nous aimons, notamment de Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Peggy Lee, Louis Armstrong, et bien d’autres. Ils sont même allés au-delà de nos attentes en travaillant avec une amie à nous, chanteuse de chœurs et auteure-compositrice, qui avait écrit une chanson spécialement pour nous. NoNi Trio l’a aidée à intégrer sa prestation à leur set, rendant ce moment particulièrement personnel et émouvant. Ce fut un véritable plaisir de travailler avec NoNi Trio du début à la fin. Nous les recommandons sans hésiter à toute personne à la recherche d’un jazz live magnifique et de grande qualité pour un mariage ou tout autre événement spécial." 20th August 2026 Joyce Chow & Justin Tsui - Private Wedding Photo of She Sings Jazz She Sings Jazz "Hi Lynette, I hope this email finds you well! Thank you for another wonderful performances on Friday – we received a good few comments during your set about your pure talent and how they could feel the music with you, really lovely to hear!" 16th September 2026 Erin L - Nene Park Trust Photo of Beat-Route Beat-Route ""Dear Daniel Thank you for your email, much appreciated. Just got back to the office in Knysna! Once again, it was great to work with Beat-Route and oh my word, Thobeka has a stunning voice. I’m so pleased that Jenny decided to book her. Should you ever need a reference to any prospective client, let me know, I’d be more than happy to provide one. I would have loved having a band of your calibre in the Garden Route, and in the Cape Town area. Thank you again for another very successful event. All the very best, until the next time!"

Frequently asked questions

The average price for swing bands on Gig Heaven is £600, with rates from £170 to £1,750+. 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.

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.

The swing bands in Milton Keynes, England, United Kingdom 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.

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.
