Grace and Tom’s Stunning London Wedding – A Night of Swing and Jazz with The Mini Big Band

What a fantastic time we had performing for Grace and Tom’s gorgeous London wedding! Earlier this year, they transformed a photography studio into the ultimate wedding venue, and it was nothing short of spectacular.

Upstairs, guests were treated to fine dining in an elegant setting, while downstairs, a hidden party oasis awaited. With cocktails flowing, a packed dancefloor, a giant disco ball, and, of course, The Mini Big Band providing the soundtrack, the night was unforgettable.

As a high-end jazz and swing wedding band, we love creating the perfect party atmosphere, and Grace and Tom’s big day was everything we could have hoped for. Thank you both for letting us be part of your celebration – it was an honor to play for such a special crowd.

Looking for a wedding band that brings the timeless charm of a jazz band and the energy of a swing band? Let The Mini Big Band make your day extraordinary.

All the best,

A Memorable Night at Bibis: Celebrating 50 Years of Music and Dining

We had the pleasure of performing at Bibis recently, celebrating 50 incredible years of delicious food, fine drinks, and—of course—live music. This stunning art deco venue is not just a restaurant; it’s a place that truly values and supports live performances, making it one of the best spots for a weddingevent, or private function in the area.

As a trusted function band, we’ve been lucky to work with Bibis over the years, and this night felt especially special to us. From jazz band classics to swing band favorites, our performance added to the vibrant atmosphere Bibis is known for.

For anyone planning a wedding or event in the region, we highly recommend Bibis for its unbeatable combination of great food, spectacular setting, and live music. We look forward to returning soon, and here’s to many more celebrations to come!

Grazie, Bibis!
Saluti!

Jack and Melissa

It was a pleasure to head to the very lovely Wyresdale Park Jack and Melissa’s beautiful wedding!
It was our first time at Wyresdale and it’s such an amazing venue. Wyresdale manages to mix rustic barn yard charm with some very classy interior and glamping accommodation setting which is perfect for the summer wedding season.

People can worry about space when booking at 10 piece band, however as you can see from the pictures, we can fit on a fairly small stage whilst still providing a visual impact to the room.
This was an amazing party for a great crowd. Jack, the groom actually opened the night up with a 20 minute acoustic set which set the place on fire! We knew from that point that you guys were ready to party.
What a night.
All the best guys.

The Mini Big Band in Athens.

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.
