    About these Big Bands

    If you're looking to hire a band for a party, then why no look at what sort of jazz bands are playing near you? Many big bands are available to hire for private events, so browse through the listings here to find the perfect one for your event!

    Big bands are the perfect entertainment for all sorts of events, but are especially at home at larger scale functions. This is mainly due to their sound and volume level, as it is hard for guests to maintain any level of conversation over a big band in a small place. They also take up a lot of room, which will also need to be factored into consideration. That said, if you're planning a black-tie wedding, corporate event or charity fundraiser, a big band is a fantastic way to ensure entertainment and dancing. A trad jazz band for hire will have a very traditional repertoire of jazz standards, whereas a modern swing band may also cover popular tunes by the likes of Michael Buble.

    Booking big bands as early as possible increases the chance of securing their 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 performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.

    Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. 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% deposit to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.

    Most big bands are self-sufficient and come equipped with sound systems suitable for standard event settings. However, for larger venues or events with over 300 guests, additional sound equipment may be required to ensure optimal audio quality. We recommend discussing sound system requirements directly with your chosen act to confirm their setup meets your event's needs. Some big bands also offer lighting systems, though this may incur an additional charge. Alternatively, they might recommend a trusted third-party supplier to provide lighting for your event. Be sure to clarify these details during your booking discussions.

    Many big bands are open to performing outdoors, but it’s essential to confirm this with your chosen act. Outdoor performances can be affected by weather conditions such as wind, rain, or extreme temperatures, which may impact the performance and the instruments. If you’re planning an outdoor event, ensure you provide a stable, flat surface for the performers and have a suitable cover or shelter in place to protect them and their equipment from unexpected weather changes. Discuss these details with your act in advance to ensure a smooth performance.
