A jazz band is an ideal option for entertaining your guests throughout the day, whatever the weather. Our jazz bands in Manchester provide non-disruptive background music for drinks receptions and guests arriving but also turn up the volume and get the party started by night with an array of toe-tapping standards.
Whatever you’re looking for and regardless of your budget, we have the jazz musicians to suit you and your party. Duos and trios are generally affordable and compact, perfect for fitting onto smaller stages or dealing with noise restrictions. These generally feature a guitarist or pianist accompanying a vocalist or saxophonist, a perfect soundtrack to your ceremony or to serenade your guests while you have photographs taken.
We have a selection of jazz bands in Manchester falling into a variety of different sub-genres. Django Reinhardt-inspired Gypsy jazz bands are great for an upbeat summer garden party, while a smooth jazz trio is better suited to a formal dinner or wedding reception.
We also have a great range of "postmodern" jazz bands for hire in Manchester, taking your favourite modern pop hits and playing them in a vintage jazz style.
Music has always had a firm hold over the heart of Manchester, so whether you have invited guests to Worsley Park, King Street Townhouse, Great John Street, The Castlefield Rooms, The Lowry, Albert's Restaurant & Bar or Didsbury House Hotel, our jazz bands are ready to create the perfect atmosphere for your event.
Our jazz bands have played at weddings and parties throughout Manchester, including Bolton, Sale, Rochdale, Stockport, Salford, Wigan, Oldham, Bury, Atherton, Altrincham, Ashton-under-Lyne, Middleton, Urmston, Eccles, Denton, Chadderton, Romiley, Hyde and Radcliffe.
