“Watching Jennifer sing is mesmerising. She has a unique charm on stage and a wonderfully expressive voice. Her engaging performance was a highlight of the evening! ★★★★★”
Meraki luxury jazz band are among the finest jazz musicians available for hire in the UK. Having perfected their practice at some of the top music conservatories in the world, they provide clients with specialist expertise in delivering favorite jazz and swing standards, be it cool background jazz to complement a dinner or drinks reception or hot jazz with a swing to fill the dance floor! Perfect for any occasion, they are hired to perform at wedding receptions, birthday parties, corporate events, christmas parties, charity balls and award ceremonies to name a few, lighting up any event with first-class, tailored entertainment!
The group can be hired as a duo, through to quintet. These line-up options suit particular types of events, venues and budgets differently. If you are having an intimate event with limited space, their voice and piano duo is perfect and is sure to suit most budgets. You can go on to add a bit more presence and drive with the double bass, both a musical and visual plus! The trio will provide elegant background music to which a saxophone can be added to compliment the texture. If you want to crank it up a bit and are after the sort of swing you can dance to, adding a drummer to the mix gets the toes tapping! Where possible, the full quintet is recommended for the richest of sounds. The group has a number of specialised sets including ballroom for all the keen dancers, postmodern (perfect for a Gatsby-themed event), as well as themes such as Latin Jazz, Ella Classics, Gershwin, Songbook Legends and Jazz Love Songs. You can hand-pick your own setlist from their extensive repertoire and make up to three new requests. Alternatively, you can sit back, relax and let Jennifer choose the perfect setlist for your event.
“Meraki Jazz were lovely to work with. They were very accommodating and indulged a number of our requests! Jennifer is easy to communicate with and the event ran smoothly with her help. Would definitely recommend! ★★★★★”
The group provides all of their own professional sound equipment. You can have your choice of music played through their PA system before the live music begins and during any breaks, alternatively, they will provide suitable music.
Jennifer and her group would love to hear from you to discuss how they can enhance your event! They are happy to answer any questions you may have and will do their utmost to perfectly cater to your wishes. Don’t hesitate to get in touch! (Contact details below)
