You we're everything we wanted and more. Just brilliant.
Great band for our Afternoon Tea event. Lovely bunch of people and great with updating on all information throughout the process! Thank you so much HBJ!

About:

The band’s repertoire not only boasts dance floor fillers featuring artists like ABBA and The Weeknd, but also jazz standards by pioneering legends such as Duke Ellington and Nat King Cole. Such a varied set-list means that    Honey Bee Jazz would make the perfect all-day entertainment for your wedding. From having sumptuous lead vocals croon you down the aisle, to turning the party up a gear for your guests to have a boogie at your reception, these guys are able to add both pep and sophistication to your special day. With uplifting piano, grounding bass and nifty drums supporting the dulcet tones of their front woman, they make a tight team who are guaranteed to impress your guests from start to finish!

Honey Bee Jazz are obviously no strangers to performing to the highest of standards, with lead singer Katerina Kaifa having been presented with the Goff Richards award for Excellence in Jazz as well as winning the Greek TV talent contest ‘Music School’. The collective is formed of musicians from all around the world and as a group have performed up and down the country. Their impressive CV includes headlining the Manchester Jazz Festival, frequent appearances at Matt and Phred’s Jazz Club, a multitude of private functions, and much more!

Dedicated to ensuring that each event they play at is tailored to your unique requirements, these accommodating musicians would be delighted to learn a new song at your behest. This could be a first dance guaranteed to make your guests well up, or if you are planning a night of elegance for your work colleagues, an office favourite to get everybody up and jiving!

Additionally you can include extra sets, including an intimate duo with piano & vocals for a romantic vibe, and a sparky instrumental trio of piano, bass and drums to break the ice and get the party started!

The band will also provide their own first-rate PA system as well as a lighting rig, to really set the mood for your event! Fill your day with the smouldering  sound of HONEY BEE JAZZ! From day to night, these versatile musicians will make your special occasion shine!

FAQ's:

Can we have a later finish?

Whilst most venues are licensed until midnight, all of our performers are flexible so start/end times can be adjusted to suit you.

Can we have the act set up early?

Of course. If you want to avoid creating gaps in the day or disturbing the ambience if everything is in the same room, we can help find a suitable time for your act to arrive and set up.

Do you offer different lineups?

Yes! You can add a keys player and/or a saxophonist if you wish.

Will you play our First Dance Live?

Yes, wherever possible! The band will learn your first dance song providing enough prior notice is given and the song is within the style of the band. If this is not possible the band will be happy to play your first dance via their PA / DJ equipment

Boring (but useful) bits:

As standard with all bookings through the Groove, you'll have unlimited opportunities for consultation with our team of dedicated wedding and event planners. You can also chat directly with your act to discuss musical choices and specific logistics for the day of your booking.

To confirm and book, you'll initially receive confirmation that the guys are available on your date following your enquiry. On the same email, you'll also be sent a booking form which you can fill in to populate our system with information regarding your day. You'll then receive a deposit invoice for 20% to secure the bands attendance and complete your booking. Following both these steps, you'll get a confirmation pack with a link to book a meeting with one of our dedicated entertainment planners, some checklists and ideas of musical options to think about, and the next steps involved in your booking. It really is that simple.
