Whether you are planning your wedding yourself or working with a wedding planner, we work closely with you to make sure you are getting the musical repertoire you want, and will enhance your ceremony in an appropriate way. Our ensemble size is flexible and we can work within your budget. We can add strings, organ, woodwinds, or harp if you are interested in that too. While we focus on the ceremonial music, adding the Urban Brass to your cocktail hour is an elegant way to spice up your event. In addition to being great performers we also care a lot about the logistics of preparing the music for the wedding as well as making sure the music runs smoothly on the day of the wedding so you can relax and enjoy the moment.

If you still have questions, about anything, give a call, we’d love to talk to you!
