Incredible wedding band!

This band is amazing and you should book them immediately! We hired Brass Beats for our wedding reception and they were incredible. DJ + brass was the perfect way to enjoy the versions of the songs that we know and love, whilst still getting the live music experience. The musicians are outstanding, the DJ is superb and they also have an excellent sound technician who brings everything together perfectly. They were so easy to work with and made the whole process of booking, requesting songs, coordinating with the venue etc so smooth. They kept everyone dancing throughout the evening and we received so many positive comments from our guests. Thank you Brass Beats - we loved it!

The BEST Band you could ask for at your big day!

Wow wow wow! The talent of BrassBeats is incredible! Their infectious energy shines through their slick choreography, insane brass solos, and vibrant performance!
We booked BrassBeats before we booked our venue and they made it more than worth it! We knew we wanted BrassBeats before we got engaged having known what an awesome and talented band they are but also so reliable, friendly, organized and just passionate about making your special day magical and so much fun! If you want a DJ that listens to their crowd, an engineer who is on point and creates an epic atmosphere, a packed dancefloor, and brass musicians who will completely blow your guests away then look no further!!! Barney, made our day happen the way we envisaged with music seamlessly running throughout the day and evening. BrassBeats are the most genuine, kind, and helpful musicians who think of all the logistics and we just keep reliving our day over and over again due to the energy they brought. Thank you!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
