London came to a standstill they were so outstanding. One of the best bits of the wedding

5 out of 5

A huge thank you to Boulevard Brass for playing at our wedding! The music was amazing to listen to and they're such professionals. It really set a party tone for our reception drinks and brought the party from the minute they started playing. They also look incredible in their maroon jackets -people got some great pictures. We had so many compliments from our guests!

Bruce and the guys were absolutely incredible. Super with communication in the run up and then delivered everything and more... great energy, tunes and vibes. They really set the tone for the entire day!

Thanks so much George & Charlie - all your guests were just lovely and it was a pleasure to be apart of the day!

You guys looked and sounded great - the audience loved it! Such a level above the normal brass band - can't wait for more next year.

Your Christmas tunes were just brilliant - all the staff were dancing and loving it!

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

We have 2 main option - 5 piece and the more compact 4 piece. Both work well, and we can expand as needed.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We try be as flexible as possible - normally it'll be 2x45 minutes within a 4hour window - but always try to fit in with your plans.

How much time do you need to set up?

We can be ready in a few minutes, but always recommend arriving 30 min to 1 hour before playing.

Can you roam around while you perform?

Absolutely ! We are at our best in parading you and your guests, or playing in the sunshine while you eat canapès and drink champagne!

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

We generally decide on what songs to play in the moment, but happy to take a favourites list that we try to include in our set.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Generally we play acoustic, but we can discuss if PA needed.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes - although we normally charge extra - but does depend on the song - we know loads of songs, but obviously need to make sure the quality is top notch, so best to discuss.
