Brass music adds a regal touch to any Orlando wedding. At the beautiful royal English weddings you will always hear the triumphant sound of the long fanfare trumpets.  Brass music adds a sense of importance, regal atmosphere and pomp and circumstance.  There are many different brass soloists and brass ensembles to fit a variety of types of wedding ceremonies, size of venues, and budgets and they are all available in Orlando and throughout Florida.

When it comes to making a strong regal statement at your wedding, the fanfare trumpets and/or a brass quintet or brass choir really stand out.  Brass instruments can be heard without amplification in large venues and have the capability of playing softer for smaller venues.  If you have a very large wedding venue and want a big sound, the larger the brass ensemble is, the louder the music can be. Even the largest brass ensembles like the brass quintet and brass choir still have the capability of playing softer for smaller wedding venues.  Whatever you choose, brass music for weddings is always regal.

SMALL BRASS ENSEMBLES AND SOLOISTS FOR WEDDING MUSIC

Musicians are paid per person so for weddings on a budget a soloist or a small ensemble works best.  Some of the nicest and most budget friendly choices are:

• Solo Trumpet
• Solo Piccolo Trumpet (smaller and higher pitched trumpet)
• Fanfare Trumpet (the very long trumpet used for fanfares)
• Trumpet and Organ
• Piccolo Trumpet and Organ
• Trumpet and Piano
• Piccolo Trumpet and Piano
• Trumpet Duo
• Piccolo Trumpet Duo
• Fanfare Trumpet Duo
• Trumpet Duo with Organ
• Piccolo Trumpet Duo with Organ
• Trumpet Duo with Piano
• Piccolo Trumpet Duo with Piano
• Brass Quartet (two trumpets, trombone & tuba or two trumpets and two trombones or two trumpets, french horn and trombone)

The fanfare trumpeters in this list add such a wonderful regal presence to weddings but are best used for fanfares (e.g. before the brides entrance).  They are often not the best choice for complete songs for wedding processionals (walking down the aisle) or wedding recessionals (walking back down the aisle after the ceremony).

These brass ensembles and soloists work well for classical/traditional wedding music and other styles.  If you are using unconventional music you can replace the trumpeters with other instruments to fully create a non-traditional atmosphere. Using brass with unconventional music can add a sense of balance and please a variety of guests.  You can also replace the trumpeters with other brass instruments, like trombone or french horn, while using traditional music for a more unconventional sound.

LARGE BRASS ENSEMBLES FOR WEDDING MUSIC

For a more dramatic effect, the larger wedding brass ensembles are breathtaking.  The look and sound are truly royal and have the capability of great volume when needed for large wedding venues.  Some of these brass ensemble choices are:

• Brass Quartet
• Brass Quartet and Fanfare Trumpets
• Brass Quintet (two trumpets, french horn, trombone and tuba)
• Brass Quintet and Fanfare Trumpets
• Three, Four or more Fanfare Trumpets
• Brass Choir (also called Brass Ensemble)
• Brass Choir and Fanfare Trumpets
• Antiphonal Brass Choirs (Brass Choirs or Brass Quintets on two, three or four sides of the venue).  To hear this effect listen to the Antiphonal Brass Choirs of Gabrieli.
• Antiphonal Brass Choirs (Brass Ensembles) and Fanfare Trumpets

Percussion may be added to any of the larger brass groups.

Whether you go with a dramatic large ensemble, a smaller brass ensemble or a brass soloist, using brass music for your Orlando or Florida wedding will set a classy and regal tone that your guests will remember.
