Photo of Rainer Pusch Rainer Pusch "We were so fortunate to have Rainer and his band perform at our wedding in France in September. Rainer was very easy to communicate with, and he turned our music preferences into an amazing musical celebration. Listening to him and his band perform was one of the highlights of the wedding for all of our guests! We cannot say enough about Rainer’s talent. Do not hesitate to book his services for your next event. Rainer and his band were some of the most talented musicians that we have ever heard. Thanks again Rainer!" Based in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region Hannah & Carlen - Wedding Photo of The Velvet Keys The Velvet Keys "I wholeheartedly recommend Ciarri for any corporate event, private function or venue seeking sophistication and class, with some sultriness. I have worked with Ciarri on many events and her artistry consistently elevated each occasion, leaving lasting impressions on our guests. Her performances—whether on the iconic rooftop of Hotel Raphaël or the exclusive Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine with panoramic Eiffel Tower views—were warm, unforgettable and stylish at every setting. Ciarri's professionalism, reliability and meticulous attention to detail made her a valued partner and why I worked with her time and time again. Any organization would be fortunate to collaborate with such a dedicated, versatile, and inspiring performer."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring vintage themed bands is €750, with prices from €210 to €2,100+. Pricing depends on the number of musicians, set duration and whether the act includes themed costumes, vintage staging or additional visual elements. Vintage-themed bands span a range of eras, from 1920s jazz to 1960s rock, so the style and size of the act both influence cost.

The vintage themed bands for hire in France perform music spanning the 1920s through to the 1960s, covering styles such as jazz, swing, rock and roll, doo-wop, skiffle and Motown. Many bands also offer modern songs performed in a vintage style, such as acoustic or swing versions of contemporary hits.

Hiring vintage themed bands is popular for vintage-themed weddings, Gatsby and prohibition parties, afternoon teas, corporate events, garden parties and retro celebrations. Vintage music adds charm and character to events with a classic or nostalgic theme.

Many vintage themed bands perform in authentic vintage attire appropriate to their era of music, from 1920s flapper dresses and suits to 1950s rock and roll outfits. This adds a visual element that enhances the atmosphere at themed events. Gig Heaven recommends asking about costume options when making an enquiry.

Smaller formats are widely offered, often a singer and piano or a three-piece, and they suit afternoon receptions where a full band would dominate. The larger line-ups carry the brass that defines much of the period's sound. Booking a small group for the day and the full act for the evening is a common compromise.

Most are self-contained and bring a PA suited to the room, though acts built around acoustic instruments often need less than a modern band. Period-styled microphones and stands are usually part of the look rather than the sound, and come with the act. Venues with their own system should mention it, as it can reduce what has to be transported.

Many acts perform modern songs arranged in the style of their era, which lands well with guests who do not know the original material. Others stay strictly period and treat that as the point of the booking. Both work, so it is worth asking which approach an act takes before choosing between them.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

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.
