We had the honor of performing at Grantley Hall, Ripon, for John and Jeanette’s breathtaking wedding. What an incredible venue! From the moment we arrived, it was clear this would be a day to remember, with a stunning setting and a 10-piece band setting the stage for a truly memorable celebration.
It was our pleasure to provide the entrance and dinner music for this elegant occasion, creating the perfect atmosphere for such a special day. Talk about a wow-factor entrance! The room, the music, and the couple’s love story all came together seamlessly for a truly unforgettable experience.
Congratulations, John and Jeanette – we wish you all the best as you begin your new journey together!
I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the outstanding performance you delivered at our wedding.
You truly brought our celebration to life. Your music created an electric atmosphere that kept our guests dancing and smiling all night long. Many of our friends and family have told us that your performance was the highlight of the evening, and we couldn’t agree more.
From the moment we first heard you play, we knew you were the perfect choice for our special day. You not only met but exceeded all of our expectations. Your talent, energy, and ability to read the crowd were outstanding, and you made our reception unforgettable.
We especially appreciated your willingness to learn and perform our special song. It meant the world to us and made that moment incredibly personal and memorable.
Thank you once again for sharing your incredible talent with us and for being such an important part of our wedding day. We will always remember the joy and excitement you brought to our celebration, and we will be sure to recommend you to anyone looking for an amazing band.
We are sorry we didn’t have a chance to speak with you more during the wedding. The day was so busy, and our biggest regret is not being able to give you a proper thank you and a hug in person.
Grazie di cuore per aver reso il nostro matrimonio indimenticabile!
We had the pleasure of performing at the beautiful Shrigley Hall this May for Yvette Fielding and Karl’s very special anniversary celebration. It was a truly memorable night, filled with great music and wonderful people.
Yvette and Karl are such a lovely couple who truly appreciate live music and a good show, which made performing for them all the more enjoyable. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and we loved every minute of it—such a perfect setting for an unforgettable anniversary party.
Wishing you both all the best for the future!

Planning a special anniversary or event? The Mini Big Band brings the perfect mix of live music and energy to create a standout atmosphere. Whether you’re celebrating at Shrigley Hall or another unique venue, our jazz band and swing band sets are designed to elevate your night and make it one to remember.
It’s always a pleasure to be asked to perform at the wedding of fellow musicians, and Emma and Jacob’s celebration at The Lion Inn, Boreham was no exception.
The day had a brilliant atmosphere from the start, with a crowd who clearly loved live music and were more than ready to get involved.
Live Wedding Music at The Lion Inn
The Lion Inn provided a fantastic setting for a relaxed but lively wedding celebration, and our swing and big band sound fitted the evening perfectly.
Emma and Jacob’s guests were incredibly welcoming, and once the party got going there was no shortage of energy on the dance floor.
There was even some impressive guest singing along the way — always a good sign that everyone is fully committed to the party!
A Wedding Crowd That Loved Live Music
Performing for a musical crowd always adds something special to the night.
There was a real appreciation for the live arrangements, musicianship and atmosphere, and it made the whole evening a pleasure to be part of.
A huge congratulations to Emma and Jacob, and thank you for having The Mini Big Band as part of such a fantastic celebration.
Wedding Band for Boreham and Essex
The Mini Big Band performs at weddings across Essex, London and throughout the UK, offering everything from relaxed live jazz for a drinks reception through to our full 10-piece swing and big band for the evening party.
If you’re planning a wedding at The Lion Inn, Boreham or elsewhere in Essex, we’d love to hear from you.
I am so glad we booked these guys to play at our wedding – the music is timeless and will delight guests of all ages. We had an absolute blast and lots of our friends and family said how much they had enjoyed the band. 100% would recommend.
The MiniBigBand brought a real touch of class to the conference dinner for UKES2024. It was like having Frank Sinatra in the room. Everyone I spoke to afterwards thought it was a fabulous piece of ambience. I am only sorry that I could not have had another 100 people there at the event to enjoy the fab. music.
An absolute world-class band! We booked them for our Wedding at Wyresdale Park, they became the absolute talking point of the whole day. They were all super professional, responsive and friendly. I couldn’t recommend them enough for anyone looking for something a bit different, but lively for their big day.
It was a real pleasure to head to the beautiful Wyresdale Park for Jack and Melissa’s wedding.
This was our first time performing at the venue, and it made a brilliant impression. Wyresdale combines rustic barn charm with stylish interiors and beautiful countryside surroundings, making it a fantastic setting for a summer wedding.
Live Wedding Music at Wyresdale Park
One question couples sometimes have when considering a 10-piece band is whether they will have enough space at their venue.
Jack and Melissa’s wedding showed just how flexible The Mini Big Band can be. We were able to create the full visual and musical impact of the band while working comfortably within the available stage space.
So even if your wedding venue doesn’t have a huge stage, a full big band experience can still be possible.
A Groom Who Started the Party Himself
We knew this was going to be a great night when Jack opened the evening with his own 20-minute acoustic set.
He absolutely set the place alight and, from that point on, the guests were ready to party.
Once The Mini Big Band took over, the atmosphere carried straight through the evening with a brilliant crowd and a packed dance floor.
A huge congratulations to Jack and Melissa. What a night!
Wedding Band for Wyresdale Park and Lancashire
The Mini Big Band performs at weddings across Lancashire, the North West and throughout the UK, bringing together classic swing, big band favourites and modern songs with our own signature sound.
If you’re planning a wedding at Wyresdale Park or elsewhere in Lancashire and want live music with real impact, we’d love to hear from you.
We had the pleasure of performing at the Concorde Conference Centre in Manchester, entertaining guests for Remit Choice beneath one of the most iconic aircraft ever built.
With Concorde suspended above the room, this is a venue with real impact — stylish, dramatic and completely unique.
Lounge Jazz to Set the Scene
Our lounge jazz trio provided the perfect welcome for guests as they arrived, creating a relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere before the main event got underway.
This is exactly where the smaller Mini Big Band line-ups work so well.
A live jazz trio gives an event warmth and character without overpowering the room, allowing guests to arrive, mingle and enjoy the setting while the music quietly sets the tone for the evening.
And at a venue like the Concorde Conference Centre, that timeless jazz sound felt right at home.
Live Music for Corporate Events in Manchester
From intimate drinks receptions to large-scale corporate celebrations, The Mini Big Band can provide a range of live music options to suit different parts of an event.
Our lounge jazz trio is ideal for arrivals, networking and dinner, while our larger swing and big band line-ups can take over later in the evening when it’s time to turn the atmosphere up.
A brilliant event, an unforgettable venue and a real pleasure to be part of.
It was a pleasure to finish our busy Christmas run with a trip out to Athens for a very special Christmas party. Some amazing photos to follow.
Our clients looked after us all so well, making it a very special trip for us after a very busy period. It was great to work with an amazing sound and AV team in Athens, supplied by the guys at Tempo Events – Greece. What a team!
We heard swing music everywhere we went in Athens, and caught an amazing jazz night in central Athens on our rest day. The appreciation for great jazz music is strong in Greece and we hope to be out there again soon putting on a great show.
On to NYE next for us at the amazing Bibis Restaurant, Leeds (slightly closer to home). 2 sold out shows! We’ll be bringing in the bells with style.
