Brass String Chamber Ensemble

Hiring the BSCE for our ceremony and cocktail hour was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Paul and Kris were a dream to work with. To say they were “accommodating” was an understatement. They arranged a special version of my one of my grandmother’s favorite songs to play for her at cocktail hour AND they arranged the most gorgeous version of my favorite Rolling Stones song, which my dad walked me down the aisle to. They went above and beyond all expectations – the perfect “wow” factor for any wedding.

Booking the Brass String Chamber Ensemble was undeniably one of the best decisions my wife and I made in our wedding planning. We were thoroughly impressed with the skills of all their musicians, especially the Trumpet player, Paul, who worked with us to select the perfect program of classical pieces. When the ensemble began “Trumpet Voluntary” it set a triumphant and glorious tone for the rest of the ceremony and the entire day. If you’re wondering whether it’s worth it to hire professional musicians for your wedding, I can say without a doubt that it was well worth it for us!

Very professional and very accomodating! We had an Indian-American fusion wedding. They were able to play both Indian and American songs for the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They made our wedding very special!

I cannot imagine an instrumental ensemble capable of creating a more beautiful musical experience than BSCE! The music they provided for my daughter's wedding was absolutely magnificent! Every piece was polished and perfected, yet played expressively from the heart. We chose to have a string quintet, 2 trumpets and a timpani. Each musician performed at virtuoso level; as a group, they achieved a superb blend. The BSCE has an endless repertoire, ranging from chamber classics and trumpet voluntaries for ceremony music to light jazz and pop for cocktail / dinner music. Each piece is arranged so creatively and played so professionally that it is an absolute joy to listen to them play! Plus, they will customize their music to fit your needs: in our case, they worked with us to add interludes and musical repeats to achieve the perfect timing for our processionals. They will also customize the combination of instruments to fit your preferences. They are consummate professionals who love what they do and perform with breath-taking artistry. In addition, founders Paul & Kris Semanic are among the most delightful people l have ever worked with. They will take a genuine interest in making your event musically perfect!
