“Thank you for providing your lovely music at our wedding reception. The song you suggested for our arrival was every bit as glorious as you said. We felt like royalty walking into a room where the mood had been perfectly set and then heightened at just the right moment. Our only regret was that we didn't have you for longer as our guests obviously loved every minute of the ambiance you created!

You were undoubtedly one of the most professional wedding service providers we worked with. Your information package and communications were timely, helpful and professional. We also really appreciated your assistance in arranging set-up details, your professional dress and your reasonable price. The service you provided allowed us to relax, knowing our wishes were in good hands and the musical element of our day will be one integral in our memory.

I would highly recommend you to anyone wishing to create an unforgettable wedding experience. Thank you.”

“The Beacon Hill Brass played for the dedication service of our new sanctuary at Lutheran Church of the Cross on September 16, 2007. It was an extended service, fairly complex in its structure, with many different things happening and a wide range of participants. The music we asked them to perform encompassed a variety of musical styles. The Brass were magnificent. They were very professional, were right on cue to their many entrances throughout the service, and the flexibility of their musical abilities was remarkable.

From playing baroque preludes, to sparkling fanfares for hymns, to some Dixieland-style improvisation on a couple of other hymns, they demonstrated their musical versatility as well as their prowess as musicians. They were also most personable to work with, from all the prearrangements right through to the rehearsal and actual service. They even stayed to share a glass of wine with us afterwards!

We will definitely hire them again when we have a special event and would recommend them to anyone who is seeking a first-class professional brass ensemble.”
