The Ministry Of Horns | Brass & Drums Band York

Ministry of Horns are an unbeatable collection of the very best brass musicians in the country. They've played hundreds of weddings and events over the past 7 years, including parties for Jamie Oliver, Alex Brooker and Liam Gallagher.

What can I say... words don't really cut it. You absolutely made our day... it was just magical! Louise & Rob, Wedding, December 2017

Their show is a highlight at Glastonbury every year – they've also played at The Secret Garden Party and international festivals including The Black Sea Jazz Festival and Cork Jazz Festival.

The band are all about making the party happen, from sophisticated drinks reception music to a full-on party to end the evening. They’re totally mobile so can play on the move as part of a parade and end the evening with all your guests dancing under the stars!

The band can work totally acoustically but have a range of amplification options available for larger events.

“Hi Guys! I just wanted to drop you a quick email to thank you for helping organise the music yesterday. We and all the guests thought the band were amazing and we had so much fun dancing for 2 hours. We couldn't have asked for anything more and will be recommending you to all our friends.”

Joe, Wedding in London, January 2018

“What can I say... words don't really cut it. You absolutely made our day... it was just magical to walk down the aisle to that wonderful sound. The guests were in awe I think and I can't wait to see what our videographer captured. I'm already thinking of ways I can hire you again someday!”

Louise & Rob, Wedding, December 2017

“Thank you, we had a fantastic evening. So many people came up to us and told us how incredible the band were, so thank you ever so much for playing and making the evening so special! All the best, and hopefully we’ll be at another gig of yours soon!”
