Brass gives a wedding a sense of occasion from the first note. Since 1988 the Majestic Brass Quintet has played ceremonies in churches, chapels and halls from Boston to Albany and throughout New England: music while your guests arrive, a processional and a recessional, and lighter fare for the cocktail hour and reception.
