“Our entire experience with the staff at Tailored Entertainment was professional, knowledgeable and courteous. We could not have asked for more! Having had to postpone our celebration for 2 years, it was no trouble to rebook, arrange and have adaptations to suit our taste (we had 3 sets in the end not 2). To begin on the day, we had a solo keyboard set, which was wonderful. The band leader was amazing, such an outstanding performance! Everyone had a great time, and the DJ choices were excellent. Adaptations made on the day, timing, places worked very well. The whole band was superb, a positive experience. We had several guests who were in the music business, producers, band members, singers and dancers. All were effusive with their compliments. We have already made one recommendation and would not hesitate to do so again! Our thanks to you all for making our evening a success!”

“I cannot express how much we both and our guests absolutely loved the Gatsby’s Jukebox trio, the band and the DJ set. They were excellent at communicating with us during the day and were considerate and non obtrusive.
The music was just brilliant and we couldn’t have asked for a more entertaining, fun and happy time. The children could not stop dancing to every song and there was not one person in the room who was not responding to the music - shoulder dancing, toe tapping, chair dancing :) It was exactly what we wanted if not more and many guests commented on the talent and professionalism of the group.
You all absolutely made our day - The trio during the drinks were just so relaxing and the music was beautiful. The band set was fun and floor filling and the lead singer and trumpet player were just outstanding. Our first dance was done perfectly in their style. The final DJ set had all our favourite party songs with some fun add ins. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so memorable and personable to us. I would highly recommend and would have back in a heartbeat for any future event.
I hope you enjoyed the sets as much as we did. Thank you again Morna and Nick”

“They were an absolute highlight, getting the perfect balance of music and styles for the mix of ages in our audience and getting everyone on their feet as a result! So many of our guests commented that they were the best band they’d ever seen at a wedding, and they absolutely loved the adaptations in the Gatsby set! Every single member of the band are clearly very talented and able musicians, and they were all great performers.
We also really appreciated their flexibility in performing the original Proud Mary for us - seeing a room full of people following the same dance will forever stand out in my mind as one of the most special memories of the day! I also really appreciated how perfect the band’s timing was in making sure they started each performance at the exact time planned which helped keep everything flowing and meant our pre-prepared set lists worked exactly as planned. It may seem a small detail, but it really helped me relax on the day! We will be recommending the band to everyone, and hope we’ll have another occasion to book them in the future! Thank you also to you Erin for your responsiveness and help in the lead up, you really made the whole process so much easier.”

You were a joy to listen to and a pleasure to dance to. The opening song was so beautifully done ... a personal favourite. Jerome Kerr is a genius composer and you did his work great justice.
I am delighted Jay found you and we will not hesitate in recommending you.
Many thanks to you all,

FAQ

I really want to have a great party with everyone on the dance floor - are you the right band for that?

Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire features the biggest modern dance floor fillers, performed in a classy 1920s Gatsby style.

Do you take requests?

We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.

How long do you take to set-up?

60-90 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.

What time do you play?

At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 90 minutes of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.

How long do you play for?

We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.

Can you provide music for our drinks reception?

Yes, we can provide a briliant instrumental piano set or a jazz trio (instrumental or with vocals) set - both work brilliantly for drinks receptions or during dinner.

What is the difference between the ‘pre-mixed DJ service’ that comes with the standard package and the 'band member to DJ live' which is an optional extra?

The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.

If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.

Do you have your own PA and lighting?

Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

What is the website guide price based on?

The published guide price range covers our 4 to 6-piece line-up options performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Epsom. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hours 30 mins drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.

Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

Yes.

Will you perform our first dance?

Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.

How much space do you require?

We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.

How much power do you require?

2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

Do I need to provide food/drinks?

The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £25 pp rider buyout.

Can we see you play live before booking?

As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.

“I wanted to drop a note to say how phenomenal Gatsby's Jukebox were at our drinks reception at the beginning of December. We have had so much positive feedback from guests over how much fun they had and the quality of the band and their amazing repertoire. They were very professional and really looked the part! They added a further dimension to our reception which I don't think any other band could have replicated. Please pass along our sincere thanks to the band - they helped make it such a magical day!”

“Our entire experience with the staff at Tailored Entertainment was professional, knowledgeable and courteous. We could not have asked for more! Having had to postpone our celebration for 2 years, it was no trouble to rebook, arrange and have adaptations to suit our taste (we had 3 sets in the end not 2). To begin on the day, we had a solo keyboard set, which was wonderful. The band leader was amazing, such an outstanding performance! Everyone had a great time, and the DJ choices were excellent. Adaptations made on the day, timing, places worked very well. The whole band was superb, a positive experience. We had several guests who were in the music business, producers, band members, singers and dancers. All were effusive with their compliments. We have already made one recommendation and would not hesitate to do so again! Our thanks to you all for making our evening a success!”

With venue restrictions tough on brass instruments and low decibel limit they well adapted to this and did a stunning performance! Perfect night and I’m thankful for them to perform through the evening. Thanks again to Kate and the band and all those in Tailored Entertainment.”

“I cannot express how much we both and our guests absolutely loved the Gatsby’s Jukebox trio, the band and the DJ set. They were excellent at communicating with us during the day and were considerate and non obtrusive.
The music was just brilliant and we couldn’t have asked for a more entertaining, fun and happy time. The children could not stop dancing to every song and there was not one person in the room who was not responding to the music - shoulder dancing, toe tapping, chair dancing :) It was exactly what we wanted if not more and many guests commented on the talent and professionalism of the group.
You all absolutely made our day - The trio during the drinks were just so relaxing and the music was beautiful. The band set was fun and floor filling and the lead singer and trumpet player were just outstanding. Our first dance was done perfectly in their style. The final DJ set had all our favourite party songs with some fun add ins. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so memorable and personable to us. I would highly recommend and would have back in a heartbeat for any future event.
I hope you enjoyed the sets as much as we did. Thank you again Morna and Nick”

“They were an absolute highlight, getting the perfect balance of music and styles for the mix of ages in our audience and getting everyone on their feet as a result! So many of our guests commented that they were the best band they’d ever seen at a wedding, and they absolutely loved the adaptations in the Gatsby set! Every single member of the band are clearly very talented and able musicians, and they were all great performers.
We also really appreciated their flexibility in performing the original Proud Mary for us - seeing a room full of people following the same dance will forever stand out in my mind as one of the most special memories of the day! I also really appreciated how perfect the band’s timing was in making sure they started each performance at the exact time planned which helped keep everything flowing and meant our pre-prepared set lists worked exactly as planned. It may seem a small detail, but it really helped me relax on the day! We will be recommending the band to everyone, and hope we’ll have another occasion to book them in the future! Thank you also to you Erin for your responsiveness and help in the lead up, you really made the whole process so much easier.”

The dance lesson from Katie was wonderful and the whole band were professional at all times. Having the full 6 piece ensemble is well worth the money.

“My sincerest thanks for your contribution to my son Jay's wedding yesterday!! You did such an amazing job. I don't think I have ever been to a wedding where so many people danced for so long. You were a joy to listen to and a pleasure to dance to. The opening song was so beautifully done ... a personal favourite. Jerome Kerr is a genius composer and you did his work great justice.
I am delighted Jay found you and we will not hesitate in recommending you.
Many thanks to you all,

FAQ

I really want to have a great party with everyone on the dance floor - are you the right band for that?

Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire features the biggest modern dance floor fillers, performed in a classy 1920s Gatsby style.

Do you take requests?

We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.

How long do you take to set-up?

60-90 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.

What time do you play?

At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 90 minutes of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.

How long do you play for?

We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.

Can you provide music for our drinks reception?

Yes, we can provide a briliant instrumental piano set or a jazz trio (instrumental or with vocals) set - both work brilliantly for drinks receptions or during dinner.

What is the difference between the ‘pre-mixed DJ service’ that comes with the standard package and the 'band member to DJ live' which is an optional extra?

The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.

If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.

Do you have your own PA and lighting?

Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

What is the website guide price based on?

The published guide price range covers our 4 to 6-piece line-up options performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Epsom. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hours 30 mins drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.

Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

Yes.

Will you perform our first dance?

Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.

How much space do you require?

We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.

How much power do you require?

2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

Do I need to provide food/drinks?

The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £25 pp rider buyout.

Can we see you play live before booking?

As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.
