Vacation 2005

Brass music is particularly fitting at weddings, private parties and other celebratory events; it evokes majesty, celebration and promotes an all-round feel-good factor.

We can provide the music for any special occasion, such as:

  • Weddings and civil ceremonies
  • Graduations and civic ceremonies
  • Corporate events and launches
  • Private parties and anniversaries

Brass quintets can also make their mark at exhibitions, fairs, garden parties, company events and outdoor functions such as festivals. So if you’d thought about booking a traditional string quartet or jazz band, why not give us a try instead?

These are just suggestions, but we can arrange whatever you want. If you have something particular in mind, please just let us know.

After the ceremony

Cambrian Brass can also play for your guests during your reception – whether it be an informal drinks reception or a more formal sit-down dinner. Our repertoire is extensive and we can cater for all musical tastes and styles.

We quite often get asked to play background music as the guests arrive and take their seats. Then we can play a fanfare as the happy couple enter and take their seats. We can even play requests of tunes that hold a personal or special significance to the immediate family.

During the reception we normally play in the background as often the client will have booked a live band or disco. However, we are available to play a part at the reception and we have a large and varied repertoire to help get the party going.

Please contact us for more details of our wedding packages.

SPECIAL EVENTS

Professional musicians can often make all the difference to an organised event: the music can help put people at ease, it provides a talking point when guests/delegates arrive at the venue, it can enhance the mood and can help make one part of the event move smoothly onto the next. And it makes people feel good!

Events organisers

We can make life easy for you by suggesting an appropriate programme for your event, and discussing how, when and where in the venue to play.

We’re used to working with organisers of corporate events, weddings and parties, and private caterers. Our quote will be tailored to your needs, your budget and your particular occasion.

So to help your event go with a swing, contact us now!
