The Jetset Society
Lineups
The Jetset Society performs in flexible lineups from 4 to 11 musicians – tailored to the occasion, venue size, schedule and the impact you have in mind. From a compact live band to a large gala lineup, we adapt each setup musically and visually to your event.
Lineups from 4 to 11 musicians: The Jetset Society performs as a quartet, quintet, sextet or septet, and in lineups with 8, 9, 10 or 11 musicians. Depending on the occasion, we build small, medium-sized or large live band formations.
The best lineup depends above all on the type of event, the guest count, the venue and the mood you want. For smaller celebrations, stylish receptions and dinner settings, a compact lineup can be ideal. For balls, galas, large weddings or formal corporate events, a larger formation is often the better choice. More vocals, horns and stronger stage presence come with it.
The basic lineup for events is 4 musicians: keyboard, bass, drums and vocals – with a female or male singer. Depending on the occasion, we can add more vocals, guitar, one to four horns or a bigger rhythm section.
One exception: jazz, lounge and dinner formations. Here the basic lineup can consist of 3 musicians – keyboard, bass and drums. These smaller setups suit hotels, receptions, brunch, dinner and subtle background music.
All arrangements are written for flexible live lineups. So quality, energy and our recognisable sound stay the same. That holds whether we size the band for the room, the budget, the schedule or the impact you want. Read more about the musical background in the musician profile of Thomas Gindl.

Which lineup suits which type of event?
A compact overview of typical live band formations.
4 musicians
The compact basic lineup for many event formats: keyboard, bass, drums and vocals. It suits smaller events, wedding ceremonies, receptions, dinners, private celebrations and rooms with limited space.
Effect: elegant, flexible and space-saving.
5 to 6 musicians
A very balanced formation for smaller to medium-sized weddings, corporate events, Christmas parties, receptions and evening events.
Effect: a fuller sound, more dynamics and still very flexible.
6 to 8 musicians
Ideal for larger celebrations, balls, corporate events and weddings where dinner music and the later party section are equally important.
Effect: full live band energy with clear stage presence.
8 to 11 musicians
For large events, gala formats, high-profile corporate events, large balls and occasions with particular demands on sound, appearance and impact.
Effect: maximum presence, big sound and a powerful live experience.
For weddings, the right lineup depends strongly on venue, guest count and schedule. A wedding in Vienna, a wedding in Lower Austria or a wedding in Burgenland each brings its own needs. Space, setup time, technical planning, volume and musical impact all differ.
Lineups in direct comparison
Which formation is especially strong in which situation.
3 to 4 musicians
Ideal for jazz, lounge, receptions, dinners, hotels and smaller stylish events. Jazz formations can start with 3 musicians; all other event formats usually start with 4 musicians. One special case applies to the wedding ceremony itself: there, a duo is also possible on request.
Strength: subtle, elegant and ideal where space is limited.
5 to 7 musicians
A versatile live band size for weddings, corporate events, balls and Christmas parties. It combines atmosphere, dinner music and a full dance floor later on.
Strength: flexible, rich in sound, lively and suitable for many event schedules.
Guidance by event type
Which lineups are often useful for which occasions.
For weddings, 4 to 7 musicians are often ideal. That covers stylish music for the ceremony or reception, quiet dinner sets and a lively party later in the evening.
For corporate events, 4 to 7 musicians are often a good choice – from a stylish reception to dinner music and a danceable evening. For larger corporate events, a bigger lineup adds more presence.
For balls, 5 to 11 musicians are often ideal. Depending on the ball, elegance, danceability, the opening, ballroom dances and the party mood later can all matter. Classic ballroom dance music is an integral part of the programme.
For galas and formal evening events, medium-sized to large lineups often fit best, depending on the schedule. A refined overall impression, controlled volume and musical presence are essential.
For parties, 5 to 9 musicians are usually a strong fit. These lineups offer plenty of energy for the dance floor while remaining flexible for different rooms and audience sizes.
For jazz, lounge, receptions, dinner, brunch and hotel events, lineups of 3 to 5 musicians are often ideal. The music stays subtle, stylish and atmospheric without overpowering the event.
For Christmas parties, the right lineup depends strongly on the schedule. For dinner and background music, a more compact lineup may be enough. For a party later on, a medium-sized live band lineup helps.
Lineup by event phase
Many events have several musical moments – not every phase needs the same energy.
Reception & networking
For receptions and networking, a compact, elegant formation is often ideal. Controlled volume, a polished mood and room for conversation matter most.
Dinner & background music
For dinner, a smaller to medium-sized lineup works well when the music should be present yet easy to talk over. Jazz, lounge and soul elements fit beautifully here.
Opening, show moment & programme
For a ball opening, first dance, award show or special programme item, a larger lineup can create more impact. Additional vocals, guitar or horns make the difference.
Party & dance floor
For the later dance floor, live energy matters. The bigger the room, the audience and the stage presence you want, the more a medium-sized to large live band lineup pays off.
Lineup size and how pricing works
The lineup is one of the most important factors for the overall quote.
The number of musicians directly affects planning, stage impact and price. A compact lineup needs less space. It is often ideal for receptions, dinners, smaller weddings, private celebrations or events with a quieter, elegant character.
Medium lineups are often the most versatile choice for weddings, corporate events, parties and balls with several phases: reception, dinner, programme and a party to follow. Larger lineups with more vocals, guitar or horns give a fuller live sound, more visual presence and stronger energy.
The final quote also depends on performance time, technical setup, venue, schedule, travel, setup time and the desired musical concept. An overview is on the Pricing page.
Which lineup fits 80 or 150 guests?
Guest count is important, but venue, schedule and desired impact matter just as much.
Around 80 guests
For around 80 guests, a compact to medium-sized live band lineup is often suitable. For private celebrations, birthday parties or smaller weddings, 4 to 6 musicians work very well. That suits an elegant atmosphere with danceable live music later.
Want a stronger party section, more vocals or more stage presence? Then a lineup with 6 to 8 musicians may be the better choice.
Around 150 guests
For around 150 guests, a medium-sized to larger lineup is often useful. Depending on room size, stage situation and event schedule, 6 to 8 musicians can provide a strong balance between flexibility, sound and presence.
For larger corporate events, balls or galas, an expanded lineup with additional vocals, guitar or horns adds impact and carries the evening with more ease.
These are guidelines, not fixed rules. The right lineup always depends on event type, room size, technical setup, programme and the mood you want. It also depends on whether the music should stay in the background or take centre stage.
What we need for a lineup recommendation
A few key details are enough to recommend a suitable lineup.
Event type & schedule
Wedding, corporate event, ball, gala, party or hotel event: the type and its planned phases decide whether a compact, medium-sized or larger lineup makes sense.
Guest count & room size
Guest count, room size, stage area and acoustics shape how much presence and technical support the lineup needs.
Desired impact
A subtle dinner mood needs a different lineup from a full dance floor, a prestigious gala stage or a large corporate event.
Technical setup
Available space, stage, power supply, sound system and lighting all feed into the right lineup and the technical setup it needs.
Vocals, horns, guitar and stage impact
The size of the band is only one part of the decision.
Beyond the number of musicians, the exact instruments matter too. The Jetset Society can play with a female singer, a male singer or both. Depending on the occasion, we play with or without guitar. Horns can be added singly or as a section. They add energy and stage impact – especially for balls, galas, corporate events and parties.
The key question is not just size. It is the atmosphere the lineup should create: subtle and elegant, modern and groovy, polished and festive or energetic and danceable.
Live band lineup with real musicians
Real live band formations with musicians, vocals and instruments, explained.

Are larger lineups with horns available?

Can the lineup be adapted to a wedding, ball or corporate event?
Yes. The lineup is adapted to the event type, venue size, schedule and desired atmosphere. Different lineups can be useful for weddings, balls, corporate events, galas, parties, Christmas parties and hotel events.
Which lineup works for reception, dinner and a later party?
For a full evening with reception, dinner and a later party, a medium-sized lineup is often useful. For smaller events, 4 to 6 musicians may be enough. For more stage impact, multiple vocals or horns, 6 to 8 or more musicians can be the better choice.
Which lineup is suitable for around 80 guests?
For around 80 guests, a compact to medium-sized lineup is often suitable, depending on the room, programme and desired impact. A smaller lineup can work well for reception and dinner, while a medium-sized live band may be better if a dance floor or stronger party atmosphere is planned.
Which lineup is suitable for around 150 guests?
For around 150 guests, a medium-sized to larger lineup is often useful, especially if the event includes reception, dinner and a later dance floor. The right choice depends on venue size, stage situation, technical setup, audience and desired impact.
How much space does a live band lineup need?
The required space depends on the number of musicians, technical setup, stage, lighting and access. A compact lineup needs significantly less space than a large formation with horns. Room size, stage area, power supply and setup time are important for a reliable recommendation.
Does the lineup size influence the price?
Yes. The number of musicians is one of the most important pricing factors. Larger lineups usually involve higher musician fees, more coordination, potentially more technical equipment, more space and a stronger stage impact. Performance time, travel, venue and schedule also influence the final quote.
What does live band lineup mean at The Jetset Society?
A live band lineup means the actual formation on stage: real musicians, vocals, instruments and optional horns. It is chosen to fit event type, room size, guest count and the impact you want.
Can the lineup be adapted to different event phases?
Yes. Reception, dinner, programme moments and the later party can require different volume, instrumentation and stage impact. The lineup is therefore adapted to the schedule, room and desired energy.
Do the same musicians always perform?
The Jetset Society works with an established pool of professional musicians. Depending on the event, venue, schedule and desired impact, the right live lineup is put together. This makes different formats possible, from compact to large, while repertoire, arrangements, musical standard and schedule planning stay clearly defined.
