Review by John B.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 6, 2015•From Danvers, MA

I had a trio of musicians play for my wedding. A carbon fiber cello (awesome!), a viola, and the third musician had a flute, clarinet, alto sax, and soprano sax all with him. They did a great job playing fun and interesting music all evening from our specifically requested "Your Song" by Elton John to Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and even Jurassic Park. They were a great group to have there.

We were really happy with the service they provided to us. Especially Bryan was quite helpful starting from the planning phase of the event. We really like the their musicians performance. They even performed a song out of their repertoire and they did it perfectly. In short, we would definitely work with them again if we have a chance.

Our string trio was fabulous. They played everything from classical to contemporary. We received many guest compliments throughout the night about their talent. They made our wedding so enjoyable! We would recommend them highly!

I am having trouble dragging my mouse to make sure I give them 5"s on all categories. They were highly professional and all my requests were met. I would recommend them to friends, highly and without hesitation. Sadly, I did not get a chance to meet them as I was in the bridal suite with my daughter and then swept off to take pictures during the cocktail hour.

We cannot express in words how appreciative we are to Bryan and Occasional Brass and Strings. Bryan’s help from day one in helping me plan our musical selections for our wedding was superb. He was patient and kind and he coordinated the details so that everything was what I had always dreamed it would be. Bryan was instrumental in making our event such a success is an understatement.

Very Satisfied!! Occasional Brass and Strings went out of their way to learn a specific song for me to walk down the aisle to! They were professional, accomodating, quick to respond and they sounded great! I would recommend them for any event!!!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 22, 2011•From Cambridge, MA

Bryan was so easy to work with. He was always very professional and prompt in his responses. They have so many different group combinations you can hire- it seems as though they do it all. I thought all the different musicians we hired were wonderful (married June 18, 2011) and I had the piece of mind knowing I was working with a reliable company. We used OB&S for our ceremony/cocktail hour with a string trio, seated lunch featured a solo violinist and then for cake we had a nice jazz trio. You can't go wrong with them!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on December 17, 2010•From Cambridge, MA

The overall experience with Occasional Brass & Strings was excellent. Bryan was accomodating around some changes in the date and would always return any messages quickly. Based on the exchanges I had with Bryanm, I was confident going in to the event (a company holiday party) that the music portion would be no cause of worry. The actual performance was fun and enjoyable. Tney have a repetoire that spans four centuries, from Samuel Scheidt to Coldplay and everything in between. If you love the sound of brass, you should not hesitate to utilize their services.

We had a brass quintet play at our wedding, and they sounded great. They have an extensive selection of songs and they were willing to arrange a song for our prelude.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 31, 2010•From Bristol, RI

I would recommend Occasional Brass & Strings to anyone. We had them as a brass quintet for our wedding ceremony. As a trumpet player myself (17 years), I tend to have a critical ear for ensembles like this and I must say that they were great! Their music filled the church beautifully without being too soft or overpowering and their chords sent chills down my spine! Outstanding!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on March 11, 2010•From Newport, RI

They were great! I always dreamt of walking down the aisle to an instrumental version of Madonna's "Rain," & they were able to make this happen. In addition, I wanted to surprise my husband with a Smiths song for the recessional, & they accomodated this as well.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 19, 2009•From Sudbury, MA

We hired Occasional Brass and Strings to play classical music during our wedding ceremony and a follow-up of contemporary music in a cocktail reception. They were outstanding at both styles and venues. Brian met with us before the event and provided us with advice and sound clips to help us choose the perfect music for our event. I can't imagine a more talented or professional group. Thanks Guys!

Bryan was incredibly helpful in our decision to book this group. He was prompt and professional regarding all of our requests and was quick to point out any problems he would forsee in our choice of music. The performers sounded excellent and were a fantastic addition to our day! I would recommend this group for any bride!
