Jazz Bands in Buckinghamshire

Hire live jazz in Buckinghamshire

Live jazz changes the feel of a room without taking it over. In Buckinghamshire, jazz bands are booked for wedding drinks receptions, corporate dinners, awards evenings, garden parties and milestone celebrations — anywhere the music needs to sound polished and relaxed, with the option to lift the tempo once the evening gets going.

Popular event venues in Buckinghamshire include Stoke Place, Latimer Place and Creslow Manor, and our jazz acts travel to events across Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Milton Keynes. Wherever your event is, tell us the venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose a line-up that suits the space.

Not every jazz band sounds the same. You'll find smooth lounge trios, gypsy jazz groups in the Django Reinhardt tradition, trad and New Orleans bands, Latin and bossa nova specialists, and acts who give chart songs a jazz treatment. It's worth deciding which mood you're after before comparing prices.

Hireaband has been booking live music since 1999.

The essentials:

• Typical cost: from around £500 for a jazz duo to £2,500 or more for a larger band, depending on line-up and date
• Line-ups from solo pianist or duo through to a five or six-piece jazz band
• Background sets for receptions and dinners, or livelier swing for dancing
• Travel is included in every quote
• Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

For a reception or dinner, a duo or trio is usually enough: it fills the room with sound without making conversation hard. Larger rooms, or events where people will dance, suit a quartet or bigger, with drums and a saxophone or trumpet adding energy. Many acts can start small and add musicians for the later set.

Expect to pay from around £500 for a duo up to £2,500 or more for a larger band. Line-up size matters most, then the length of the performance and the time of year, with busy Saturdays and the Christmas season at the top end. Every quote includes travel, so there are no extra costs added later.

Every act's page has video and audio of the musicians who would actually play, along with their repertoire and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the sound before you commit.
