- I was very pleased with the members of Occasional Brass. They played during the dinner at my Daughter's wedding. The music was perfect.I certainly would recommend them.
We heard from many of our guest how much they enjoyed hearing them play.
Thanks

- Bryan was incredibly helpful in our decision to book this group. He was prompt and professional regarding all of our requests and was quick to point out any problems he would forsee in our choice of music. The performers sounded excellent and were a fantastic addition to our day! I would recommend this group for any bride!
