Fanfare Trumpets

Fanfare Trumpeters

From a single fanfare trumpeter, up to a stunning team of 11 fanfare trumpeters plus percussion! A trumpet fanfare is the perfect way to highlight the key points of your function, corporate event or wedding. Uniformed in their distinctive red tailcoats, playing long silver military style fanfare trumpets, they will add a touch of class to any special occasion!
String Quartet

Perfect music for weddings, corporate events and all special occasions! With a huge choice of music from classical to modern pop and rock, our String Quartet will entertain guests of all ages and add a touch of class to any event.

Our String Quartet are also available as 'Capital String Quartet', with a more modern image preferred by most of our wedding clients. Please visit their dedicated website at www.capitalstringquartet.co.uk
Palm Court Trio

Palm Court Trio

This lovely ensemble of Piano, Violin and Cello doubling Trumpet could be described as a cross between a string quartet, cocktail pianist and a ‘dinner jazz’ band! Weddings, receptions, dinner functions, garden parties, these three musicians never fail to please. With Steve’s unique ability to play both Cello and Trumpet, an extra dimension is added to this groups stunning versatility.
Brass Quintet

Brass Quintet

A highly adaptable ensemble offering an exciting choice of music ranging from baroque to jazz and pop! Our Brass Quintet is particularly effective in large or outdoor venues, and sounds superb in church, either with or instead of the church organ.
Wedding Trumpeter

Church Wedding Trumpeters

Our Trumpet players are able to play music for the processional, recessional, signing of the register, provide a boost to the hymns, or even a Trumpet Fanfare for the Bride's arrival! Accompanied by the regular Organist at your church, or an LBE Organist or Pianist, a solo Wedding Trumpeter will add spectacular impact to your wedding ceremony.
