Photo of Happy & the Two Tones Happy & the Two Tones "Fantastic performance Happy & The Two Tones provided the music during our dinner, which matched our wishes perfectly. The trio has the complete package with the decoration, pleasant communication and also flexibility on the spot being very nice. Besides, Happy sings beautifully and it was lovely music to listen to. Definitely recommended" Translated from Dutch Based in Hoensbroek, Limburg 18th March 2026 Veronique - Diner Photo of Gradalicious Gradalicious "Very good, our guests are happy with the music and the performance. The atmosphere was very fantastic!" Based in Bussum, North Holland Yuting Cheng - KTS International Exhibition Consulting UG Photo of Bijou Trio Bijou Trio "I was searching for a jazz band for a luxury event I planned in Amsterdam and came across Bijou Trio, what an incredible find! Out of all the entertainment companies I contacted, they were the first to respond (within hours!), and their pricing was by far the most competitive. When the event day came, they exceeded every expectation. Impeccably presented, charming, and professional, these 3 young men brought the atmosphere and true artistry to the event. Their performance was elegant, polished, and musically outstanding. I later found out they are formally trained musicians with a university background in music and it shows. Highly recommended for anyone looking for world-class jazz with genuine soul and sophistication." Based in Amsterdam, North Holland Nadia Duran - Nadia Duran Events - Sydney Australia Photo of Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet "It was truly a great concert in the Koepel in Heiloo: the Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet supplemented by two virtuoso musicians: Tim Kliphuis on violin and Mozes Rosenberg on guitar. The band's permanent lead guitarist, John Ligthart, is also a great talent. Daniel Gueli as bassist gives sparkling solid energy to the whole, nothing is too much for him! Ronald Weel is the reliable rhythm guitarist that a band cannot do without and Marcia Bamberg can really sing! What a fine voice and every note is right. She knows what she's doing and the band as a whole brings a nice atmosphere and surprising moments. It was a concert where you don't start thinking about other things for a moment. Perfect!" Based in Obdam, North Holland Irene - Concert Photo of Catalina Gloria & ReMo Catalina Gloria & ReMo "Event type: Wedding or private event Testimonial: An absolutely extraordinary choice! Harmony Duo turned our event into an unforgettable party The dance floor was full from the first song until dawn, and the energy they give off is incredible All the guests congratulated us on our choice and praised the extremely varied repertoire If you want a fiery atmosphere and a show to match, I recommend them wholeheartedly Display name: Full name Location: Poiana Brașov Complex Monterai Year: 2025" Translated from Romanian Based in Constanţa, Romania 28th October 2026 Clara Anastasiade - Nunta Photo of I Grammofoni I Grammofoni "I Grammofoni played at our wedding on 19 September in Umbria.

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 the Netherlands 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.
