Church: There's nothing better than having the sound of a quality brass band in a church. Use us to play the bride in, accompany hymns, perform background music as the congregation arrive, perform while you sign the register, play you out with some fantastic processional music.

Civil ceremony: We play background music as people arrive, perform when you sign the register and can play you both out as you and your guests leave the room.

In the Church

1. Performing music in the church before the ceremony starts as the congregation arrives
2. Playing the bride in as she walks down the aisle
3. Accompanying the hymns
4. Performing during the signing of the register
5. Playing processional music as you both walk back down the aisle
6. Performing at the end of the service as people leave

Civil Ceremony

1. Playing the bride in as she walks down the aisle (you can't beat live music)
2. Performing during the signing of the register
3. Playing as the bride and groom process out
4. Performing at the end of the ceremony as people leave

At the reception

1. Performing inside or outside as people arrive at the reception
2. Playing background music during the wedding breakfast
3. Playing background music between the wedding breakfast and the evening party

Couples like to mix and match so we frequently share duties with other musicians and performers. For instance since some churches insist you have to pay their organist some couples will use the organist for accompanying the hymns. Some will have friends performing during the signing of the register.

How we help you choose your wedding music and prepare for the day

We're pretty flexible and open to your requirements and we also will come up with ideas and suggestions if asked. For instance if you don't know what hymns to have we'll suggest some and if you want a hymn that's unusual or where the music hasn't been written for brass band we could arrange it for you.

We have a CD we can send you of processional music available for you to choose what you want to walk down and back up the aisle to and we're equally happy to play something of your suggestion, one couple asked for the Star Wars theme which we were able to do. If you wanted to come to the Bandroom to listen to us play the processional music then we'll arrange this for you.

We've plenty of experience playing at weddings, especially in churches and hotels and we've plenty experience of working with vicars,organists and hotel managers.
