Russ Gaffney is a very accomplished musician who played trumpet at our daughter’s wedding. His rendition of Ode to Joy remains a lovely memory of her special day. He is professional and talented, and we believe him to be the perfect choice as a musician for your wedding.
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 Trumpet 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.
