Reviews of Vintage Themed Bands available in Italy

5/5 from 373 reviews
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 I Grammofoni I Grammofoni "I Grammofoni played at our wedding on 19 September in Umbria.

We could not have wished for a better band than Jazzamuri. Marcello was also very friendly and even helped us with recommendations to make the day even better." Based in Catania, Sicily Joy - Wedding Photo of Bluesland Bluesland "I have attended several concerts of the band and every time it has been an incredible experience. Both musically and vocally they are able to hypnotize the audience, regardless of musical tastes, and you can see the passion they put into it. Highly recommended" Translated from Italian Based in Naples, Campania Giuseppe F.

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring vintage themed bands is €750, with prices from €170 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 Italy 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.
