PictureACE Brass on the wedding march
In December 2013 we played for this really fun and creative wedding. The couple got married in St Patricks Cathedral on Wyndham St and had their reception at The Cloud on the waterfront. Their guests walked with them from church to their reception and we accompanied them on their way!

“Huw and his team were beyond outstanding on our wedding day.  Although we’d not met them prior to the event they delivered beyond our wildest expectations and provided one of the absolute highlights of our big day, and one that many of the guests said stands out as their favourite wedding moment ever!” - Blake (the groom)

"Thanks again so much for coming to Long Bay College with the ACE Brass Trio. Our students thoroughly enjoyed your hands-on, humorous approach. We can happily say that your presentation was the most entertaining and interesting we have seen yet. The students were buzzing about it for days.  We even got positive emails from parents, who had been told all about it!"

"The usual image of musicians playing classical music is a bunch of old fogeys getting up on stage and playing wordlessly. Huw, Emma, and John can impersonate such people, but they are clearly happier giving a mixture of performance and education that has a dash of theatre. They not only played for the audience, they also told us about the themes in the music, what makes brass instruments work, and some of the instruments’ history. The talk was directed at the numerous children present, but was interesting for adults and very funny. What makes it work so well is their personalities and their ability to engage the audience."
