We had The Mini Big Band play at our wedding reception last August and honestly… they were incredible. We’re still getting compliments from our guests nearly a year later!
They kicked off the evening perfectly and instantly created such a brilliant atmosphere, within minutes, they had everyone up dancing (even the ones we never expected to see on the dance floor!). Their set completely set the tone for the night and brought this amazing energy that carried right through to the end.
They were also super lovely to deal with in the lead-up — really responsive and professional, but also relaxed and friendly, which made everything easier on the day.
If you’re thinking about booking them, do it! You won’t regret it. We only wish we had another event big enough to book them again!
The Mini Big Band played for our wedding this summer and were absolutely brilliant. We had a jazz trio playing during the canapes and then the whole band playing the rest of the evening. They were fantastic- great choice of music and performed brilliantly. They were very organised and stayed in touch throughout the build up to the wedding . Very much recommend them, Philippa and Thomas
Luxury Christmas Swing Band & NYE Jazz | The Mini Big Band
We absolutely love this time of year. Christmas gives us the chance to put together a festive swing show packed with timeless classics – the kind of songs that never fail to get people smiling, singing and dancing. It’s a show full of character and style that modern bands just can’t replicate.
For New Year’s Eve, our black tie set-up, cool vintage look and full 10-piece band are made for the glamour of the occasion. From elegant jazz during champagne receptions to a packed dance floor at midnight, our show is all about celebrating in style.
If you’re planning a Christmas party, winter wedding or New Year’s Eve celebration, we’d love to bring our music to your night.
A Stunning Drinks Reception with Live Swing & Jazz
In September, The Mini Big Band had the pleasure of performing at Daisy and Will’s beautiful wedding at The Manor House, Castle Combe, in the Cotswolds. This elegant countryside venue, with its stunning gardens and historic charm, was the perfect backdrop for a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable music.
Swing & Jazz for the Drinks Reception
The couple wanted to create something extra special for their drinks reception — a relaxed atmosphere where guests could mingle, enjoy champagne, and soak in the sunshine. Our band provided exactly that with a set of swing and jazz favourites, blending smooth background music with just the right amount of energy to set the tone for the rest of the day.
From Sinatra classics to timeless big band arrangements, our music gave Daisy and Will’s guests a taste of the magic that live swing and jazz can bring to a wedding.
Why The Manor House Was the Perfect Fit
The Manor House in the Cotswolds is one of the UK’s most enchanting wedding venues. Its combination of grand architecture, landscaped gardens, and rural charm makes it ideal for couples who want an elegant yet relaxed celebration. Performing in such a breathtaking location was a joy for the band, and it reminded us once again how perfectly swing music pairs with historic venues like this.
Live Swing for Weddings
At The Mini Big Band, we believe live swing and jazz music is the ultimate way to elevate a wedding day. A swing band for a drinks reception adds a touch of glamour without overwhelming the moment, and later in the evening, our full 10-piece big band guarantees a dance floor that never stops moving.
Whether it’s a Cotswolds country manor wedding or a celebration elsewhere in the UK, our versatile line-ups can bring style, sophistication, and unforgettable entertainment to your big day.
