Steve S booked Bigtime Brass Band for their Wedding in London • June 2024
“We hired The big time Brass band to surprise our wedding guests and lead them through the streets of Shoreditch to our secret venue. They were absolutely spectacular and brought a little part of London to a standstill. Taxi drivers were beeping, couples were snapping and random passes by joining in to the dancing!!! The energy from the boys was phenomenal and the entire Wedding group just couldn’t stop smiling. Absolutely spectacular, and I won’t hesitate to recommend them if you want to add some joy, energy and excitement to your event!!! Great lads!!!!”
Jack H booked Bigtime Brass Band for their Wedding in Hertfordshire • May 2024
“We had a wonderful experience with big time brass. They were a surprise for our guests leading us out of our wedding ceremony (they played "All you need is love" like in Love Actually) and all the way through reception. They were incredibly flexible around weather, moving from spot to spot as rain went on and off, but most importantly they sounded great! Our guests loved it and they set the tone for the whole day with everyone dancing and singing along. Could not recommend Chris and the band enough, thank you guys!”
They created such a happy, cheerful atmosphere
IKEA booked Bigtime Brass Band for their event
“We invited Bigtime Brass Band trio over the Jubilee weekend celebration at Livat Hammersmith. They created such a happy, cheerful atmosphere, our visitors loved their performance. They even made people dance and sing along. Chris is not only a great musician but a lovely and friendly person. I have no hesitation in recommending him and his band to anyone looking for a music band to perform at any venue.”
Instantly people started dancing
Animal H booked Bigtime Brass Band for their event
“Bigtime Brass Band were a well needed icebreaker for our event as it was made up of 3 different branches who were rather reticent to socialise! The band got amongst everyone and instantly people started dancing and chanting along!”
Bigtime Brass Band are amazing!
Joe B booked Bigtime Brass Band for their Wedding
“Bigtime Brass Band are amazing! They were the icing on the cake to our special day! All of us doing a conga around the marquee will be a lasting memory. Chris was always super chilled on hand to help with arrangements.’”
