Russ played both the processional (Canon in D and Trumpet Voluntary) and recessional fanfare at our wedding. This was 31 years ago, and to this day, my husband and I both still remember the goosebumps we had when he played the first notes of T...
rumpet Voluntary. I can't even express how special a trumpet fanfare makes your trip down the aisle feel. It was just beautiful, and many of our guests commented on how lovely it was. With so many years of experience, Russ is definitely talented, professional, and reliable.

I've been playing the Trumpet over 40 years and have both a Bachelors and Masters in Music. I have played over 500 Wedding and Religious services in that time. I am an instructor as well as performer and have played in several Beach Music bands across the Southeast as well as in the pit for countless regional theater shows. I own a Bb Trumpet, as well as a Flugelhorn and Piccolo. All three can enhance the beauty of your ceremony. The Piccolo is perfect for the regal sounds of the prelude, processional or recessional while the Trumpet and Flugelhorn are ideal for more meditative moments.
