Why you need a Brass Section at your Wedding!
Why you need a Brass Section at your Wedding!
Why should you book Brass for your wedding ? Well there’s no question when it comes to the difference between booking a band with and without brass. Below I discuss the advantages of booking a wedding band with a brass section for your wedding!
The OffBeats are a 9 Piece Party band based in Cork City, with a 3 Piece Brass Section. We have a Saxophone, Trumpet and Trombone in the band who provide all the brass lines for the night, not only do they add to the depth of music they’ll give that extra energy on your dance floor to keep you and your guests dancing all night long!
1. The Soundtrack To Your Night
Do you want the soundtrack to your night to remind you of a night down in your local pub or late bar. Most wedding bands only have the core instruments, so that would be:
Singer
Guitar
Bass
Drums
Keyboard (optional)
This means when it comes to playing 90% of Pop and a variety of different genre’s. They’ll be trying to cover the essential brass lines with that awful synth brass that sounds fake and naff. When it comes to your special day you want to pull out all the stops, so why get a band that won’t be able to give you a proper live version of all of the songs that you love ?
2. “The Look”
There is no doubt that having a brass section on stage not only adds to the depth and colour of the music but also adds the Wow factor. This will really impress your guests, its not often you see a band of this size and get the chance to see bands rock hits and our brass players blast out their parts
3. Hearing The Songs You Love, Played Properly
Has there ever been a brass line from a popular song stuck in your head ? Of course there has! Think about the popular song uptown funk, I’m sure at some stage you have sung along to the brass lines in that song! I know I have. There is nothing better than listening to a song you know so well and it being even better that what it was on the track. If you go to see any big act such as Michael Bubble or George Ezra they always have a smoking hot brass section to back him up.
4. Brass Sections Are Rare
There is not many wedding bands in the country with a brass section, this is what makes it even more special! You don’t want your wedding night to be just like a night down in the local pub or late bar where they have the same 4-5 piece band playing the same songs. You want it to be special right?!
If you don’t believe what I said why don’t you check out our promo video and hear exactly what a band with a brass section like The OffBeats sounds like ?
Despite all of my points, we understand that not everyone can afford the full 9 piece band so we do offer our lovely and well-established Ceremony Singer Veronica Tadman to provide the music at your Wedding Ceremony, or ‘The OffBeats Jazz Trio’ to play and set the perfect mood at your drinks reception before the dinner. To finish your night off then we have a late night Dj who will keep you dancing all night!
