A wedding has one soundtrack, and it changes by the hour: quiet during the vows, warm over dinner, irresistible once the dance floor opens. The Jetset Society is a wedding band based in Vienna, playing stylish weddings across Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland – and further afield on request. This page walks you through live music for every part of the day: ceremony, drinks reception, dinner, first dance and the party. Musically, that spans everything from dinner jazz in the spirit of Frank Sinatra and Michael Bublé to a packed dance floor with ABBA, Stevie Wonder and Bruno Mars – with classic ballroom repertoire for the first dance, of course. You’ll also find dedicated pages for weddings in Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland.

Good wedding music is more than a song list. It carries the emotional moments, sets the mood at the reception, stays easy to talk over at dinner, frames the first dance and later builds energy for a full dance floor.
The Jetset Society brings modern live music, an elegant stage presence and professional planning. The evening can start in style and build into an energetic celebration.
For couples, this means a well-rehearsed pool of conservatoire-trained, full-time musicians on stage – with sound, timing, volume and the running order in professional hands.
One thing we’re proud of: The Jetset Society plays and sings 100% live – no backing tracks. Every lineup of 4 to 11 musicians performs with real voices and real instruments, and our instrumental jazz and lounge trios are just as live. For the first dance, many couples prefer the original recording – we’re happy to play it through our own PA and take over live from there.

Why live music – and why The Jetset Society
What live music does for a wedding
Most couples want music that does more than fill the background – they want it to carry the day. A professional wedding band gives you that in the room: the immediacy of live playing, real stage presence, musical light and shade, and a lift that guests and couple feel alike.
Across the day that means one band for every phase – the ceremony, the drinks reception, dinner, the first dance and the party – with the volume, the mood and the running order changing as the evening does. On stage it means a well-rehearsed pool of conservatoire-trained, full-time musicians – with sound, timing, volume and the running order in experienced hands.
Looking for a cover band for your wedding? What most couples mean is a live band that plays well-known songs with style, polish and plenty of danceability – and that is exactly what we do, with our own arrangements, flexible lineups and musical planning across the whole day.
In short: real musicians, flexible lineups, and arrangements built around each phase of your wedding.
What sets The Jetset Society apart
A schedule, not just a song list
Look for a band that treats ceremony, reception, dinner, first dance and party as distinct musical phases rather than offering only individual songs. The Jetset Society plans the whole day musically – schedule and song list take shape together with you.
Flexible lineup
The right lineup depends on the number of guests, room size and the impact you want. The Jetset Society performs flexibly, from a compact lineup up to the full band with up to 11 musicians.
Polished in every venue
We match dress code, communication, volume, technical setup and stage presence to your venue and the style of your wedding.
Clear quote
Based on your key details, you receive a tailored, clearly itemised quote covering lineup, performance time, technical setup and schedule.

The right music for every part of your wedding
Ceremony
Ceremony music can be tender, quiet or festive – whatever the moment calls for. Played live and kept personal, it supports the ceremony without ever overpowering it.
Reception
The drinks reception sets the first shared mood of the day. Gentle jazz, lounge, soul or pop creates a refined backdrop while keeping conversation effortless.
Dinner
Dinner music needs the right volume. It stays present and stylish, supports the room and lets guests talk at the tables.
First dance
Any title from the repertoire list can be played live in any lineup from 4 to 11 musicians; most couples have us play the song from the recording through our own PA instead. We agree the version, tempo, length and the transition into the evening in advance.
Party
When the dance floor takes over, the band builds more energy, drive and stage presence – from Motown, soul and pop to disco, rock, party classics and current party hits. This gets young and old alike dancing together. We read the dance floor and adapt song selection and energy to the mood in the moment. For more on the later party phase and party classics, see the party band page.
Late evening
For the very late hours after the live set, the band can also provide a DJ set or playlist on request – or a combination of DJ and live musicians, a saxophonist for example. The core service of The Jetset Society remains live music for the defining moments of the wedding. There is a fuller comparison on live band or DJ?
Several parts of the day, one band
The Jetset Society can provide live music for several phases of a wedding – from the ceremony to the reception, dinner, first dance and later party. As experienced wedding musicians, we shape each of these phases with a fitting lineup and personal musical support. That makes it complete wedding entertainment from one function band.
The result is one coherent musical concept: lineup, repertoire, volume, technical setup, performance areas and transitions, all planned around the venue, the schedule and the atmosphere you have in mind.
For couples, this means one point of contact for the musical concept, lineup, schedule, technical setup and transitions. So the emotional ceremony, a stylish drinks reception, conversation-friendly dinner, the first dance and the later party mood can all be planned as one musical arc.
A clear musical thread
The music can start the day in an elegant and subtle way, stay conversation-friendly during dinner and build more energy later for the dance floor.
One point of contact
We plan concept, lineup, schedule, technical setup and transitions together – so one partner coordinates the music for every phase of the day.
Smooth transitions
Transitions between ceremony, reception, dinner, first dance and party shape the flow of the day. Careful planning avoids awkward breaks and keeps the atmosphere moving.
Which band size is right for your wedding?
For smaller to medium weddings, ceremonies, receptions or dinner, a compact lineup of 4 to 5 musicians can be ideal. It feels elegant, needs less space and stays close to the guests.
A medium lineup of 6 to 8 musicians is often the most versatile choice when you want subtle dinner music, the first dance and a later party set from one coherent live band – with more vocals, more dynamics and stronger live impact.
For large weddings and high energy on the dance floor, a larger lineup of 8 to 11 musicians with several vocalists, guitar or horns can be the right choice – real stage presence for larger celebrations.
A real example: 120 guests in Vienna
The setting: a modern wedding at a Viennese event venue, around 120 guests – drinks reception outdoors, then dinner and the party in the ballroom.
The music: relaxed live sets during the reception, conversation-friendly dinner music with reduced dynamics, a custom-arranged first dance as the turning point – and party sets from about 9:30 pm.
The lineup: six musicians with our own sound and lighting; the soundcheck was agreed in advance with the venue.
How it went: three party sets until well after midnight – and a dance floor that never emptied between the first dance and the last song.
Pricing and cost factors
The exact price depends on lineup, performance time, technical setup, venue, travel, multiple performance areas, special requests and the impact you’re after. You’ll find detailed pricing guidance by lineup size on the pricing page – and a full market overview with pricing factors, example calculations and advice on where to save in the guide What does a wedding band cost?
Technical setup, space and schedule
Space requirements
Space requirements depend on lineup, technical setup and venue. A compact lineup needs less space than a larger lineup with multiple vocalists, guitar or horns.
Power and setup
Coordinate power connections, load-in routes, setup time and the soundcheck with the venue early – it keeps the wedding day running smoothly.
Sound and lighting
Depending on room size and setup, The Jetset Society can provide the sound and lighting equipment needed. We plan the technical scope around the room, number of guests and schedule.
Volume and curfew
Some venues set rules on volume or performance times. Knowing them early helps us plan lineup, technical setup and musical dynamics realistically.

Wedding band for Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland
For weddings in Vienna, logistics, load-in routes, hotel and city venues, volume and schedule planning are often especially important.
For castles, wineries, country venues and event locations in Lower Austria, the live band is planned according to room size, schedule and the number of guests.
In Burgenland, venue distance, outdoor situations, curfews and the right musical arc can play an important role.
Further reading for your wedding planning
Before booking, most couples ask themselves the same things: Which lineup is right for us? What music works for the ceremony, drinks reception and dinner? What should we know about the first dance? What does the venue need technically? And which questions should we ask before signing? For a confident decision, it also pays to clarify lineup, technical setup, setup time, soundcheck, song requests, performance time, overtime, cover for illness and the written booking terms early on.

Frequently asked questions about the wedding band
Are the musicians of the wedding band professional musicians?
Yes. The Jetset Society works with full-time professional musicians – most of them from Vienna and the surrounding area. All musicians hold music degrees and bring the polish and assurance that weddings call for: reliable sound, flexible schedules, a stylish appearance and a good feel for emotional moments.
Does The Jetset Society perform for ceremony, reception, dinner and party?
Yes. We provide live music for every phase of a wedding – emotional music for the ceremony, understated sets for the drinks reception and dinner, and a danceable party programme later in the evening.
Can we book The Jetset Society for the whole wedding day?
Yes – many couples book us for the whole day: ceremony, reception, dinner, first dance and party. You get one point of contact for the musical concept, lineup, schedule, technical setup and transitions, and planning and pricing are tailored individually to your timeline, venue, performance time and scope.
What happens if a musician becomes unavailable at short notice?
The Jetset Society works with a large pool of professional musicians, so if someone drops out at short notice, we can usually arrange a qualified replacement quickly. Reliability is central to how we plan – for weddings just as for corporate events and galas.
Can The Jetset Society announce programme moments such as the cake cutting or bouquet toss?
Yes. Short announcements for programme moments such as the cake cutting, bouquet toss, first dance, games or other schedule points can be arranged. Customs such as the Austrian “Brautstehlen” (stealing the bride) can also be supported by live music on explicit request. The Jetset Society does not replace full event hosting or wedding planning, but can professionally support important musical and organisational transitions.
Which music fits which part of a wedding?
Ceremonies often need emotional, understated or festive songs. Reception – such as the agape (the Austrian post-ceremony drinks) or a drinks reception (Sektempfang) – and dinner work well with subtle jazz, lounge, soul or pop music. For the first dance and party, the music can become more energetic, danceable and dynamic.
Which lineup is suitable for a wedding?
The right lineup depends on the number of guests, room size, schedule and the impact you want. The Jetset Society performs at weddings in flexible lineups from 4 to 11 musicians. Smaller setups are also possible for jazz, lounge and dinner settings.
Can the first dance be performed live?
Yes. Any title on the repertoire list – a waltz, for instance – can be played live in any lineup from 4 to 11 musicians. Most couples have the song played from the recording instead, and we handle that ourselves: it runs through our own PA, cued cleanly into the running order. If your song is not on the list, we are happy to learn it specially for you, and that extra preparation is reflected in your quote. Either way, it helps to agree song version, tempo, length and the transition into the rest of the evening early.
Does The Jetset Society bring its own technical equipment?
Depending on room size, number of guests and technical requirements, The Jetset Society can provide sound and lighting equipment or work with the equipment already at the venue, coordinating the setup with the venue or its AV team. Details about the venue, room size, stage, power supply, guest numbers and the planned schedule all matter here.
In which regions does The Jetset Society perform as a wedding band?
The Jetset Society performs as a wedding band mainly in Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland; further regions are available on request.
Why choose a live band for a wedding?
Little compares to the immediacy of a live band: real vocals, real instruments, stage presence and dynamics that respond to the room. The Jetset Society shapes that experience around your day – ceremony, reception, dinner, first dance and party, adapted to your schedule.
What does The Jetset Society stand for musically?
Premium live music with flexible lineups, rich multi-part vocal harmonies and professional musicianship – with arrangements planned around the moments that matter most at a wedding.
Is The Jetset Society also a cover band for weddings?
Yes, if a cover band means a live band that interprets well-known songs professionally. The Jetset Society is a wedding band with its own arrangements, flexible lineups and musical planning for the ceremony, reception, dinner, first dance and party.
How much space does a wedding band need?
It depends on the lineup. A compact band needs less space than a large lineup with several vocalists, guitar or horns and additional technical setup. As a rule of thumb, allow about 4 m² for a duo and roughly 3 m² for each additional musician – around 7 m² for a trio, 10 m² for a quartet and about 31 m² for an eleven-piece lineup. Smaller areas work too: at weddings in particular, the band regularly plays on compact stages. A safe performance area, power, monitoring and room to move all matter.
How much does a wedding band cost?
Costs depend on lineup, performance time, date, technical setup and venue – you can find transparent pricing guidance on our pricing page.
Are song requests possible?
Yes. Every title on the repertoire list can be played live in any lineup from 4 to 11 musicians. If a song is not on the list, we are happy to learn it specially for you, with the extra preparation reflected in your quote. Important songs for the ceremony, first dance or programme moments are worth discussing early.
How do you find a professional wedding band?
Reliable indicators are: full-time musicians with formal training, real live videos that show sound and stage presence realistically, experience with every wedding phase from ceremony to party, their own sound and lighting equipment, transparent pricing guidance and a clear planning process with a dedicated contact. The Jetset Society meets these criteria and shows them openly on the pages Live impressions, Pricing and Questions before booking. To judge whether a band suits your particular wedding, ask a few more questions: does it plan ceremony, reception, dinner, first dance and party as separate musical phases, is everything played live, and does the lineup size match your room, number of guests and schedule? The Jetset Society performs 100% live in lineups of 4 to 11 musicians, with smaller setups from 3 musicians for jazz, lounge and dinner settings. Song requests and the first dance are agreed in advance, and a song that is not on the repertoire list can be learned specially for you, with the extra preparation reflected in your quote – for popular dates it is worth enquiring 6 to 12 months ahead.
When should you enquire about a wedding band?
Wedding bands are often booked 6 to 12 months in advance; popular Saturdays between May and September are usually taken first. The earlier the date, venue and rough schedule are clear, the better the lineup and technical setup can be planned – short-notice enquiries are still possible depending on availability.
Does The Jetset Society play at same-sex weddings?
Yes, of course. The Jetset Society plays for couples of every kind, and the music, running order and lineup are tailored just as individually as for any other wedding.
How does the enquiry process for a wedding band work?
For a first assessment, the date, venue, number of guests, desired event phases and a rough schedule are sufficient. We then check availability, suitable lineup, technical setup and budget range and prepare a tailored quote.
How does a full dance floor come about at a wedding?
When the dance floor takes over, the band builds more energy, drive and stage presence – from Motown, soul and pop to disco, rock, party classics and current party hits. This gets young and old alike dancing together. We read the dance floor and adapt song selection and energy to the mood in the moment. The running order works best when it grows out of the evening itself – out of the mood, the dance floor and the guests.
