Our pricing depends on the band size and the number of sets you’d like. For instance, a single 50-minute set with a jazz duo starts at $800, and rates increase for larger ensembles or longer performances.

Every event is unique, so we’ll provide a custom quote once we know your date, location, and preferred lineup. We’re happy to work with you to find the perfect fit for your budget and celebration.

Paper Moon Jazz Band can be tailored to fit the mood and size of your celebration. We offer everything from an intimate jazz duo or trio for intimate cocktail hours, to a lively five or six-piece band that keeps the dance floor full all night. Whether you’re dreaming of a soft background soundtrack or a full-swing dance set, we’ll match the lineup to your vision, venue, and budget.

Our standard music package includes:

• Up to four 50-minute sets of live music

• Professional sound equipment and setup/breakdown

• Background music between sets (so there’s never an awkward silence)

Clients often add special touches like ceremony music, a cocktail-hour set, or even a first-dance arrangement of your favorite song.

We’ll work closely with your planner, venue coordinator, or day-of contact to make sure everything runs seamlessly. From setup to sound check, we arrive well in advance so the music flows right on cue. We can perform during your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, or reception—whatever fits best. Our goal is to enhance each moment with just the right atmosphere.

We keep things simple! Here’s what we typically need:

• A flat, covered space large enough for the chosen band size (about 8’x12’ for a quartet)

• Access to power outlets

• A safe, shaded, or indoor area for instruments (especially in hot or rainy weather)

• If outdoors, a backup plan in case of inclement weather

We bring our own sound system and lighting unless your venue already provides it. We’re easygoing and will coordinate directly with your team to make sure everything’s in place.

We recommend booking at least 6–12 months in advance, especially for peak wedding and event seasons (spring and fall). To secure your date, we ask for a 50% deposit with the remaining balance due shortly before the event.

If your plans change, we understand—life happens! We’ll work with you to reschedule when possible, and our cancellation terms are clearly outlined in your contract for peace of mind.
