Beacon Hill Brass

Concert Schedule

“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.”
