5/5 from 720 reviews
Photo of Eric Ching Trio/Quartet Eric Ching Trio/Quartet "Eric is a standout performer and well-organized band leader. Professional, kind, and adaptable, he seamlessly integrates into any musical setting. I recently had the pleasure of booking Eric for an event at a speakeasy in Oregon and he was a joy to work with. If you're seeking a reliable and versatile drummer who elevates every performance, look no further than Eric Ching." Based in Austin, Texas (74 miles from San Antonio) Calysta Cheyenne - Entertainment Director at The Underground Speakeasy Photo of Phoenix Rising Jazz Phoenix Rising Jazz "Wesley Walker played the Saxophone at my wedding this past weekend and I'm still speechless ?? He did an extraordinary job!!" Based in Missouri City, Texas (178 miles from San Antonio) Cynthia Washington - Wedding Photo of Texas Gypsies Texas Gypsies "In a word... FABULOUS! These guys gave us just the sound we needed for our fun Prohibition-theme wedding. It is now two weeks later, and all we keep hearing is "Man, that band was fantastic!" They are worth the asking price (which is very reasonable to begin with!) Steve Curry is a great guy and very easy to deal with. I would recommend them without any reservations." Based in Dallas, Texas (253 miles from San Antonio) Elizabeth A - Wedding Photo of Groove Nation Orchestra Groove Nation Orchestra "Dave and the band were incredible for our wedding. They had the dancefloor packed and jamming the entire time they played. Every song they played sounded great; the overall talent of the band was evident. We would HIGHLY recommend GNO for someone else's wedding, they played a great list and the special dance songs were top notch! Literally dozens of our wedding guests told us that night and the following day how awesome a band they were and how great the party was, and we completely agree! Thanks again to Dave and GNO, you guys helped make our special day even more memorable!" Based in Denver, Colorado (802 miles from San Antonio) Patrick B - Wedding Photo of Michael Calvoni - Jazz Singer Michael Calvoni - Jazz Singer "My residents raved about how much they enjoyed Michael's music and we definitely want to have him back to entertain again!" Based in Scottsdale, Arizona (838 miles from San Antonio) Laura Harries - Clarendale Arcadia Photo of The Anthony S Experience The Anthony S Experience "Anthony and Jasmine was great to work with.  They were on time and flexible once a torrential downpour came and we had to adjust the run of show some.  They were even kind enough to let my strolling violinist use their gear when hers started acting up.   I would definitely recommend them and use them again if we are back in Atlanta!" Based in Hampton, Georgia (881 miles from San Antonio) Jonna B. Thoma. CMP - American Association of Airport Executives

Frequently asked questions

The average price for swing bands on Gig Heaven is $900, with rates from $230 to $2,800+. 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.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
