Jazz Bands: what couples ask
Practical answers about pricing, timing and what to confirm before you book.
What does a jazz band cost for a wedding?
Trios for cocktail hour and dinner commonly sit between about $1,500 and $3,500; quartets and bands with vocals cost more, especially for a full evening.
Is jazz too quiet for dancing?
Not necessarily. Many jazz bands shift into swing, soul and funk later in the night. Tell them what you want the last hour to feel like.
Which part of the day suits a jazz band?
Canapés and dinner are the natural fit: music that sits under conversation. For the dance floor, ask whether the band plays a dance set or pair them with a DJ.
