How much do Jazz & Swing bands cost to hire in Dorchester?

For a professional Jazz & Swing band in Dorchester, a base-level starting price is around £1,500. At this price, you’re ensuring that your Jazz & Swing band is made up of professional musicians with the requisite skill set, equipment, and production to perform at your event. Keep in mind that this is a starting price, and many of the best Jazz & Swing bands in Dorchester are going to cost more than this.

How long do Jazz & Swing bands perform for at a wedding or party?

Most Jazz & Swing bands will perform 2 x 60 or 3 x 40 minute live sets as standard. The Tailored Entertainment roster of live bands all provide a bespoke DJ service before and after live sets, so your whole evening of entertainment is covered.

How long do Jazz & Swing bands take to set up and sound check?

Most of our Dorchester Jazz & Swing bands take up to 90 minutes to be fully set up and sound checked. Small line-ups may be a bit quicker whereas large showbands with a lot of production will take longer. Our expert team will ensure a viable plan is in place ahead of your event so you have nothing to worry about on the day.

Where can I find Jazz & Swing party bands in Dorchester that will also perform a set at my drinks reception?

Most Jazz & Swing bands on the Tailored Entertainment roster offer afternoon drinks reception add-ons to their standard booking. You’ll find these listed under ‘optional extras’ on the band’s profile. Alternatively, you could book one of our dedicated drinks reception entertainment options in Dorchester, we represent saxophonists, pianists, string quartets and singers.

Will your Jazz & Swing bands perform a special request or first dance?

Yes, all of our Jazz & Swing bands in Dorchester are happy to perform a special request - which is often the first dance or song of the evening. We'll prompt you for this information well in advance of your event to give the act plenty of time to plan and rehearse the performance.

Do your Jazz & Swing bands provide all their own equipment?

Yes, all of our Jazz & Swing bands performing in Dorchester come fully self-contained with premium audio and lighting equipment. Our bands also provide a DJ service as standard so everything for your event is taken care of in just one booking.

Can I see a Jazz & Swing band live in Dorchester before I book?

This is a fairly common question and unfortunately the answer is often no. Our Jazz & Swing bands are professional event bands and bookings tend to be high-end weddings, parties and corporate functions in Dorchester that we are unable to invite guests to. Our bands have excellent video footage on their profiles which provide an accurate insight to their live show and you'll also find live video clips on social media. We'd recommend reading through testimonials too to see what previous clients say about their experience.
