Christmas at The May Fair Hotel.

It was great to kick off our Christmas season in Central London this week at the famous May Fair hotel. This was our second time performing for this corporate event and it was an absolute pleasure to be back! The vintage Christmas sound of the Mini Big Band fitting perfectly with the style and decor of the Crystal ballroom.

Absolutely Flawless and so much fun!

“The guys came to perform at our wedding in September and were absolutely fantastic. After having to postpone due to covid (which was made so easy) we had the most amazing day, centred around the band. Every single guest I spoke to after the event told me how fantastic and unique they were. We loved every second.”

Megan and Hugo’s stunning wedding in Kent.

It’s been great to see some amazing photos from Megan & Hugo’s stunning wedding. 

It was a pleasure to supply the music for the full weekend; lounge jazz trio starting things off for reception drinks, a packed dance floor all night for The Mini Big Band and a super chilled Sunday lunch session the day after. 

Absolutely stunning wedding with a great team of suppliers! 

All the best guys! X

A very special birthday party in Oxford.

It was great to finally head to the stunning Lady Margret’s Campus in Oxford to help Donald celebrate his birthday in style after a long delay due to Covid. A stunning ballroom, the perfect setting for a night of dancing.

Wedding in Westminster.

It was great to finally head to central London for Hannah and Alistair’s wedding after a little delay due to Covid. Hannah and Alistair picked the beautiful St Ermin Hotel in Westminster which also happens to have the most stunning Art Deco Ballroom. Perfect for the vintage theme and style that The Mini Big Band bring.

What a day! All the best guys!

Jenny and Tom’s Norfolk wedding.

This was a blast. Jenny and Tom set up a beautiful marquee in the grounds of their family home which provided the perfect relaxed atmosphere for their day. Stunning weather mixed with a stunning location and guests who were certainly ready to party, provided the perfect mix for their special day.

Alex Narramore’s Wedding, Barns and Yard, Worcester

My partner & I decided to hire the Mini Big Band for our (admittedly small!) wedding – purely down to the high quality we saw in their videos and our love of good music. We were absolutely blown away by the talent and charisma from the band (as were all of our guests – nobody wanted the night to end!)
The whole team were SO professional and amazingly talented, they beat our very high expectations by a mile! I really can’t recommend this band enough – Chris, Jon, Roman, Andi and all the team truly made our wedding perfect. Thank you!

James Toyne Wedding, Suffolk.

Hi Chris,
Just a quick note to say thank you so much. You and the guys were absolutely fantastic, you were one of the many cherries on the icing on the cake to a perfect day.
Baby I’m yours was incredible, and we just about kept to our routine despite the panic, stress and alcohol.
I reiterate my comments to you already, that we’ve dealt with a lot of suppliers and you have been far and away the easiest and most confidence inspiring to deal with remotely.
Once again, we’ll always bear you in mind the next time that you would fit in an occasion that we’re hosting and you’ll certainly be very highly recommended.

Many thanks,

James Toyne

Chris and Sophies wedding at The Corinthian Club, Glasgow.

It was an absolute please for us to head up to Glasgow for Chris and Sophies stunning wedding this July. After many changed dates due to Covid and a new Venue, it was great to finally help Chris and Sophie to celebrate their wedding day.

The Corinthian Club in Glasgow provided the perfect venue. A glamorous venue in which The Mini Big Band’s vintage set up fit in perfectly.

So many smiles, so much laughter. You guys were an absolute pleasure to play for. All the best x

A stunning concert on a beautiful evening.

It was a pleasure to be back at the stunning Burnby Hall Gardens recently. Playing outside isn’t so bad when the venue is as stunning as Burnby Hall Gardens in the heart of Yorkshire. Lots of picnic blankets and Prosecco on a beautiful British summers evening. Things are certainly starting to feel a little more normal.
