Looking for a band that stands out from the crowd? Brass Empress are just that! This dynamic 6-piece pop, soul and RnB band swap the usual instruments for trumpet, trombone, saxophone, sousaphone, and drums - with a knockout female vocalist and non-stop party energy to boot.
The result is a bold, festival-style sound that reimagines your favourite tracks – from anthemic rock and infectious pop to upbeat folk and funk classics. When you hire this Manchester-based wedding band, you can expect a high-octane performance that gets every generation up and moving.
Want the perfect, fun-filled musical backdrop for your drinks reception? Book their stunning acoustic set for the afternoon. Ready to go full throttle in the evening? You can add an extra set, or even keep the band rocking until 1am!
The talent behind the music is second to none. Members of Brass Empress have featured in the UK’s top Bond tribute show, performed in VE Day broadcasts on the BBC, and even marched in the Coronation’s military parade. From BBC Young Musician appearances to touring theatre productions and prime-time TV slots like The Voice, these musicians bring elite-level experience and charisma to every stage they play.
Every booking includes pro-grade PA, lighting and a playlist DJ service between sets to keep the music flowing, (this can be upgraded to a manned DJ service for a small fee of you'd like to be able to make requests). They’ll also learn your first dance or a special song request free of charge (and more on request for a small fee), helping you personalise your event your way.

These made our wedding. The vibes were non-stop and are so glad we booked these as opposed to your standard band
