Gypsy Jazz Bands for Hire

Are Gypsy Jazz Bands Suitable for Weddings?

With their toe-tapping, upbeat style, a Gypsy Jazz band is a great addition to any wedding party. We offer a fantastic roster of bands, ranging from compact jazz duos and trios for the drinks reception to big bands to keep guests entertained throughout the night.

What Music do Gypsy Jazz Bands Perform?

While our Gypsy Jazz bands focus on classic Jazz Manouche favourites for the most part, they can often include a selection of music encompassing a broader range of jazz and a handful of contemporary favourites.

Popular jazz styles include Hot Club, a sub-genre popularised in the 1930s by musicians such as Stephane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt, as well as popular jazz standards. With their vintage stylings and fun, upbeat vibe, our gypsy jazz groups are always a popular option for wedding parties.
