We had a string quartet for our wedding ceremony, and a jazz combo for our cocktail hour. Northside brass provided two groups of stellar musicians. They were very easy to work with, exceptionally communicative, and very reasonably priced, especially considering the number of musicians they sent. The music was just amazing, and they were able to work with us to create just the mood we were going for in both the ceremony and the cocktail hour. The live music made such a difference, and we would enthusiastically recommend using Northside Brass to add the perfect touch to your day.
We were absolutely thrilled with the music at my daughter and son-in-law's wedding. Sarah on trumpet and the string quartet all did a superb job! We are so grateful for their outstanding skill and artistry. And Ryan, you were the most wonderful person to work with on the music...you were responsive and flexible and SO fun to work with. The music really was flawless...we were overjoyed. THANK YOU.
Northside Brass was wonderful! They were easy to contact, and choosing what to have was simple as well.
We chose a string trio, and we were so happy with it. They were flexible on when to be paid (we didn't want to bring checks and things to the wedding itself so we paid them early etc). They gave us a nice list of songs to choose from, and were just great! They didn't mess up once and it's like they've done it a thousand times!
I was a VERY happy bride!
Super easy to work with for our wedding ceremony music. Provided examples and help for song selection and on the day-of worked directly with my other vendors for set up and sound checks. They worked with our officiant ahead of time to ensure her music requirements were met. Very professional in all conversations and beautifully delivered ceremony music. Great company to work with and would highly recommend.
We just had Ryan play the trumpet and he was great! We also had an organ player through the church and Ryan was able to coordinate songs that they could play together which was one less thing for us to worry about. He was reliable and very easy to work with. Also, reasonably priced and definitely worth it.
The three musicians from Northside Brass took my breath away at our wedding. Their performance completely transformed the feel of our ceremony and gave our wedding music the unique touch we were looking for. Ryan, the leader of the group, was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He answered the million questions I had, no matter how important they really were, and he always did it in a timely fashion. There is no doubt how passionate is he about music. He and his group were definitely worth every penny, and I would recommend them to any bride and groom looking to make a statement on their wedding day.
Was the band! They only played at my ceremony, but they were fabulous. They showed up on time, played the songs I requested BEAUTIFULLY and at the right pace.
They didn't make the planning before hand too technical. They worked with me over email to get the gist of the timing of the songs I wanted and then day of, sort of felt out the pace of the bridal party.
They were great, would highly recommend.
For our outdoor farm wedding in Minnesota, we had Ryan Hobbs from Northside Brass play the trumpet and he did an excellent job. Not only was his performance very memorable, but he also did a great job working with us right from the beginning on deciding what role he would play in the wedding and what songs he would perform all the way to the wedding day. He was well prepared, on time, and a true professional. We were very lucky to have him and it would not have been the best day of our lives without him. Thanks Ryan and Northside Brass!
Ryan Hobbs played trumpet at our wedding. We were so pleased witht his professionalism and organization in the meeting prior to our wedding. Then, at the wedding, we were so happy with his performance. Ryan's talent for music was apparent. His music was a constant source of compliments all night from our guests. We loved the service and attention to details he provided to us. We were so impressed and will be recommending him to all of our friends and family!
Ryan Hobbs and the Northside Brass did a phenomenal job at our wedding. Ryan met with us prior to the wedding several times to choose songs. He was very professional and had song samples available for us to listen to. At the wedding, they arrived early and set up promptly. I have gotten so many rave reviews about the music. It made our outdoor wedding so elegant. I would recommend the Northside Brass to anyone! They are amazing musicians!
