Frequently asked questions
Booking jazz bands in Melbourne
How many jazz bands can I choose from in Melbourne?
bookentertainment.com.au lists 47 jazz bands in and around Melbourne. You can shortlist as many as you like and send one enquiry to all of them at once, rather than contacting each act separately.
How far in advance should I book a jazz band in Melbourne?
Popular dates go first, so for a Saturday in peak season the earlier the better. If your date is close, it is still worth enquiring: availability changes, and sending one enquiry to several acts is the fastest way to find who is free.
What do I get back after enquiring?
A written quote from each act you shortlisted, so you can compare what is included side by side rather than piecing it together from separate phone calls. Enquiring is free and there is no obligation to book.
