Wedding of Catherine and David Wakely

'There is no doubt that there is no better way to exit a church after a fabulous wedding than with a solo trumpet celebrating the joy of marriage. It was a marvellous moment at the end of our service when the trumpet sounded “Thine be the glory” (Judas Maccabeus - Handel) . Louise was accompanying a piano and was playing from the balcony - it was truly awe inspiring and a very special moment. Louise really made our wedding special. She played during much of it, but it was that final “piece de resistance” that did it for me! Thanks Louise!'

Wedding of Julie and Howard Dalziel

''Louise played a trumpet solo at our wedding for the arrival of the bride. It was a magnificent sound along with the church organ. The effect was particularly spectacular as Louise was on the upper balcony of the building, so the notes filled the whole auditorium. We would definitely recommend her for your wedding too''

The wedding of Dawn and Steven Kemp,

''We had a civil wedding ceremony and it was made so special when Louise played a fanfare for the arrival of the bride and then for the exit of the Bride and Groom. Louise wrote the fanfare herself and arranged for a backing tape to accompany the sound of the trumpet.

It was fantastic and we still feel the hairs stand up whenever we watch our video or even think of that "special" touch to our wonderful wedding ceremony.''
