The trumpet has been used as a ceremonial instrument since its creation, making it the perfect choice for your event. Whatever the occasion I can offer a bespoke service to match your requirements. With many years experience, I will be happy to assist in making all of your musical plans come together.
Weddings
Whether for the service or at the reception, I always ensure that a professional service is provided, leaving the happy couple to enjoy their special day without any additional stress!
As well as old favourites like Jeremiah Clarke's famous trumpet voluntary: Prince of Denmark's March, or Trumpet Tune and Air, I am able to make bespoke arrangements for trumpet and strings, piano or organ, or other ensembles as required. If you already know that you would like the trumpet to play for entrance or exit music, you might also like to consider featuring it in any other songs and hymns in your service. Please feel free to look at my previous client reviews, or email me at samlewistrumpet@gmail.com for further details on how I can cater for your special day.
Funerals
I have performed for a number of funerals and memorial services, so I know just how important it is to provide a discreet and sensitive service. Whether your loved ones had a particular favourite song or hymn, or you feel the traditional Last Post is a more fitting tribute, I will gladly accommodate your wishes at this emotional time. I am also equally at home on the cornet and flugelhorn, so if you're worried that the trumpet might be a little strident then you may find these softer sounding instruments are exactly what you're hoping for.
Please contact me at samlewistrumpet@gmail.com with any questions - I am happy to assist in any way I can.
Prices vary depending on the length of service and/or reception and will include any associated travel or music costs.
