Brodie was extremely professional. Arrived with plenty of preparation time and helped us to rehearse the Marching ceremony before the actual event. He was extremely smartly turned out and his music was the perfect accompaniment for an important occasion. Thank You.

What can I say other than AMAZING! We had Brodie cover our venue for guest arrival on our wedding day and I could hear him from my suite. Incredible! Dressed so smart, so many compliments & he also stayed around until I was down the aisle. 5* and lovely to speak to. Thank you so much.
