The Tiffany Hanus Jazz Trio

Last reviewed: August 3, 2026. Business status: Active.

The Tiffany Hanus Jazz Trio is a Toronto wedding jazz band led by vocalist Tiffany Hanus. Its current official website describes live music for weddings and special events, with configurations ranging from a voice-and-guitar duo to a quintet. The core trio combines voice, guitar and upright bass, while larger lineups can add drums, saxophone, trumpet or another requested instrument.

For weddings, the official material places the ensemble at ceremonies, cocktail hours, first dances, dinners and receptions. Couples can consider a shorter two-hour duo or trio engagement, longer trio or quartet performances, or a five-hour package that changes the band size as the celebration progresses. This profile was last reviewed on August 3, 2026, using the company’s official website.

Services and specialization

The group specializes in live renditions of jazz standards and classics. Its wedding page describes music for ceremonies, cocktail hours and receptions, including romantic selections for a ceremony, swing during cocktails and classic jazz over dinner. The band also advertises strictly instrumental options and separate solo or duo string configurations.

Published wedding formats include two-, three- and four-hour performances. The two-hour option uses a jazz duo or trio and is positioned for a ceremony and/or cocktail hour. Three- and four-hour options can extend into a first dance, dinner or dancing. A five-hour premium format moves from trio for the ceremony and cocktail hour to quartet for dinner and quintet after dinner.

• Jazz duo: voice and guitar
• Jazz trio: voice, guitar and upright bass
• Quartet or quintet: the core instruments plus drums or another instrument such as saxophone or trumpet
• Strictly instrumental and selected string options are also listed

Service area and who it may suit

Toronto is the confirmed base and the official site identifies the act as a Toronto band. Its published venue list includes locations in Toronto and some events outside the city, but the company does not state a defined travel radius or travel-fee policy. Couples planning elsewhere in the GTA or beyond should ask whether their venue is served and whether travel or accommodation charges apply.

The formats may suit couples seeking live jazz for one part of the day or a changing ensemble across several stages of the wedding. The published options also allow couples to compare a compact vocal-and-guitar duo with a fuller rhythm-and-horn lineup. Suitability for a particular room, schedule or musical brief still needs to be established through a direct consultation.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is configuration flexibility: the official pages provide duo, trio, quartet and quintet choices rather than a single fixed lineup. The wedding packages also include a sound system, performer liability insurance and a one-to-one phone consultation. The FAQ says the supplied sound system is intended for as many as 250 guests in one room, with a larger system available on request.

The practical limitations are mainly gaps or conditions to confirm. No public availability calendar, travel boundary, cancellation policy or detailed technical rider is posted. The standard sound-system statement is limited to one room, and large events may require coordination with the venue’s audiovisual team. Outdoor performances require protection from sun and rain.

• The official FAQ states liability coverage of up to $2 million.
• The band generally schedules an approximately 15-minute break after 45 to 50 minutes of performance.
• For events longer than three hours, the musicians request a vendor meal.

Pricing

Prices are not published. The official site invites couples to request a customized quote, and no current dollar amounts are shown for the two-, three-, four- or five-hour formats.

The FAQ states that confirming a booking requires a signed contract and a 25% deposit. Couples should ask whether the quote includes tax, travel, additional instruments, ceremony soloists, a larger sound system, extended setup time and music between live sets. They should also confirm the current payment schedule and cancellation or postponement terms before signing.

Contact and booking

The official contact details list 647.883.7340 and 1171 Queen St. West, Toronto, Ontario. The website also provides an email contact link and says customized quotes are available. An initial enquiry should include the wedding date, venue, approximate guest count, required performance periods and preferred band size.

The FAQ says musicians usually arrive and set up approximately 45 minutes before the performance unless another arrangement is made. Booking logistics require an electrical outlet, one armless chair for the guitarist and a performance area of approximately 5 by 7 feet or larger. Couples should have the venue approve the proposed location and power access.

Music requests and event planning

The official repertoire is centred on jazz standards and swing tunes. The FAQ says the group can learn up to two specific songs when requests are submitted at least four weeks before the event. This could apply to a ceremony entrance, first dance or another scheduled moment, subject to confirmation with the band.

Couples should identify which selections must be performed live and which moments can use recorded music. They should also coordinate announcements, speeches, room changes and meal service with the performance schedule. If the ensemble must move between spaces, ask whether separate equipment, additional setup time or venue audiovisual support will be necessary.

What couples should confirm

Before paying a deposit, request a written proposal that identifies the contracted musicians, instruments, performance duration, number and timing of sets, breaks, setup requirements and included sound equipment. Confirm whether the quoted configuration remains the same throughout the booking or changes between the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception.

Also verify the exact repertoire plan, deadlines for up to two special requests, outdoor-weather arrangements, travel charges, insurance documentation and responsibility for venue audiovisual fees. Ask about substitute-musician provisions, overtime rates, cancellation or postponement terms and what recorded music, if any, is supplied during breaks. These details are not fully published on the official site and should be recorded in the contract.

• Confirm date and venue availability.
• Confirm the exact lineup and names or roles of the contracted musicians.
• Confirm all fees, taxes, travel costs and payment deadlines.
• Confirm sound coverage for the guest count and every room used.
• Confirm the final schedule, special songs and contingency plan.
