Dinner Jazz Duo are two outstanding musicians playing well known jazz standards by the likes of George Gershwin, Miles Davis and Cole Porter. This tasteful Piano and Double Bass duo are an ideal accompaniment to a wedding reception, corporate event or party, and create the perfect atmosphere for any occasion. They have a wealth of experience and are the first choice for many of the country’s largest clients, including Manchester United, BBC Gardeners World, British Army, Center Parcs, and the Royal Society. They have performed at many of the country's most exclusive hotels (inc Berkeley, Radisson, Carlton Tower, Marriott, and the Sheraton) as well as countless stately homes and country house hotels across the UK.

I wasn't informed that the 2 hours playing would include a 30 mt break. In fact when i proposed by email (before their session) that they have a break midway through playing, they didn't inform me that this was part of the 2 hours i was paying for. This should have been made clear from the start.

So glad we booked these guys, so talented and added the perfect background music for our reception. Sorry I wasn’t able to say thank you in person! As you can imagine it was a crazy day! Thank you all so much 😊

We did not get a chance to thank you in person for playing on our wedding day. Loved the ambiance that it created, it was perfect. Thanks again. Kind regards, Fiona & Jason

Customer questions

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

We strive to make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night. We do have pre-audititioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable. As a professional band our reputation means everything so you can be confident that all of our players are of a very high level.

Our standard line up is Piano and Double Bass. However, we can add extra instruments as required.
