Wedding Jazz Bands for Hire
Your wedding is one of the most special days of your life, and the music should reflect that magic. If you're looking to add a touch of elegance, charm, and fun to your celebration, nothing does it quite like a live jazz band.
Imagine your guests mingling to the smooth sound of a saxophone or hitting the dance floor to lively swing jazz—it's the perfect way to make your wedding sensational.
At FixTheMusic, we have the perfect wedding jazz band for you. Whether you’re after a sophisticated background jazz trio or a high-energy swing band, we’ve got talented jazz musicians who will set the tone for your big day.
Discover the best jazz bands
What is a jazz band?
A jazz band is more than just a group of musicians—they’re storytellers who create the soundtrack to your wedding day. From soulful ballads to upbeat swing, they bring energy, romance, and fun to your wedding party.
A typical jazz band features instruments like saxophones, trumpets, drums, and double bass, but here's the thing: no two jazz bands are the same.
Traditional jazz bands bring that vintage charm, while modern jazz bands offer something fresh and contemporary. Some couples love the sultry, laid-back vibe of gypsy jazz, while others want a jazz and swing band to get everyone up and dancing.
How many musicians are in a jazz band?
We have jazz bands ranging from a small, intimate jazz trio—ideal for background music during dinner or cocktail hour—to a larger jazz ensemble if you want a bigger sound to fill the room.
Most jazz bands range from three to six musicians, but we can help you find the perfect fit based on your venue size and the vibe you're going for.
What songs do jazz musicians play?
One of the best things about hiring a wedding jazz band is their ability to adapt to your style. From jazz classics like "Summertime" and "Fly Me to the Moon" to modern twists on pop songs, jazz musicians can do it all.
Plus, if there’s a specific song that’s special to you, our jazz musicians are always happy to take requests and make your day even more beautiful.
What type of jazz bands do you have for hire?
Where do we start? No matter your style or theme, we have the best jazz bands for hire, ready to bring your wedding to life:
• Gypsy Jazz Bands: Perfect for that rustic, bohemian vibe, with an acoustic, laid-back feel.
• Traditional Jazz Bands: Timeless, classic sounds that add elegance and romance to your day.
• Modern Jazz Bands: If you’re looking for something a bit different, our modern jazz bands blend contemporary hits with jazz stylings.
• Swing Bands: These bands bring the energy! They’re perfect for getting everyone on the dance floor with big, brassy tunes.
• Solo jazz musicians: While not technically a jazz band, we do have single musicians who can captivate an audience and bring a party to life like nothing else.
How long does a wedding jazz band play?
It's your wedding, it's your call.
Whether you want your jazz singers to perform during the ceremony, the wedding breakfast, or the evening reception, our jazz bands will work around your timeline.
Most wedding bands play for around 2 to 3 hours, often in sets of 45 minutes with short breaks in between. But if you need them to play longer or for a specific moment—like your first dance—they’ll make sure the music flows perfectly with your day.

It’s simple! At FixTheMusic, we take all the stress out of finding the right local jazz band for your wedding. Whether you’re planning an intimate garden wedding or a grand ballroom event, we’ve got local jazz bands across the UK who can bring your vision to life.
