Jazz Bands

Jazz for the drinks and the dinner: a trio or quartet that sits under conversation, then lifts the room when the tables clear. Standards, swing, soul and the songs couples love, played live. Browse their videos to hear how they fill a room before you decide.

Planning your entertainment

Jazz Bands: what couples ask

Practical answers about pricing, timing and what to confirm before you book.

Which part of the day suits a jazz band?

The drinks and the dinner: music that sits under conversation and sets a mood. Later in the night, many jazz bands move into swing, soul and funk to open the floor.

Is jazz too quiet for dancing?

Not necessarily. Tell the band what you want the last hour to feel like and most will build to it.

Trio or quartet?

A trio suits a smaller room and a mellow evening. A quartet, or a band with a singer, suits a bigger room and a night that ends on the floor.

Prefer some guidance?

Tell us about the day once.

We’ll match your brief against the current catalogue and send suitable entertainment options and quotes.
