A large part of the band’s work is playing for weddings. The Southern Allstars can play for the drinks reception as a traditional Dixieland style band with trumpet, clarinet, banjo, sousaphone etc. or as a Swing Jazz band where there is piano, double bass and drums with the two ‘front line’ of trumpet & clarinet/sax. It is also possible for the band to play a mix of styles if required.

For the wedding evening reception, the band can provide a full line up including vocals if required for a night of jazz and dancing. The Southern Allstars are also available as a Jazz Trio or Jazz Quartet for smaller events and can augment to a larger band for those with the budget and space!
