background music, you can\u2019t go past a jazz trio. They are fully self-contained and will play anything from cool jazz to music from the rat pack era. A jazz trio is usually made up of a <a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/hire\/pianists\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"12\" title=\"Hire Pianists\">pianist<\/a>, double bassist, and <a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/hire\/saxophonists\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Hire Saxophonists\">saxophonist<\/a> (or perhaps a trumpeter). Performance-wise, they will make sure all your guests are completely entertained, and keep the mood light and fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your wedding breakfast is set to be a bit larger than most, you could also opt for a jazz quartet.

When you find the right singer, they really do have the ability to blow everyone away! Singers usually specialise in a few specific styles, so you\u2019ll have your pick when it comes time to choose.

And, if you\u2019ve gone ahead and booked said dining room for your wedding breakfast, now\u2019s the time to consider booking a pianist. It would be a shame to let that beautiful piano go to waste! Pianists can play just about anything you like, and fit perfectly into the atmosphere of a wedding breakfast. Just tell them the kind of music you\u2019d like them to play, and they\u2019ll be happy to oblige.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strolling-band\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/hire\/strolling-bands\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strolling band<\/span><\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Price<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: \u00a3700\u2013\u00a31500<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Genres usually played<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Pop, Folk, Acoustic<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Encore\u2019s picks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/Fiddlin-About\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiddlin\u2019 About<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/Wandering-Soul-1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wandering Soul<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/More-Is-More\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More Is More<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, you\u2019re not interested in background music?
