Group played well. They were on time and our group like their selection of Christmas music,
Yes would hire them again!
I'd recomend Rich for your event.
We hired Rich and his five piece brass band to play marching and patriotic music at a 95th birthday party for the founder of our nonprofit. They were easy to work with, on time, flexible, great with the kids we serve, friendly and the music sounded awesome! We would highly recommend Rich and his band and hope to be able to hire them again in the future.

Rich was prompt and communicated great before our event. He was thorough throughout and really followed through with our requests. It was a perfect addition to our wedding he even did more than we asked for, I couldn’t be happier with what he added to our experience. I’d recommend him to anyone.
Response from Rich Wardlow:
Thank you for your kind words, congratulations on your nuptials and keep me in mind for the future.

Richard spent time planning and preparing for an ESPYS party and he and his colleague Duke did a great job. Highly recommend him!
Rich was an amazing partner in setting up my engagement. He performed beautifully and made the day unforgettable, thank you Rich!

Rich was an absolute champion! An essential piece to our New Orleans style parade. His skills were spot on as we walked and he kept up with it all! Greatly appreciate him and will certainly be reaching out next time we need a musician.
Response from Rich Wardlow:
Thank you so much for the kind words.
If you are looking for a trumpet player, book Rich now. Needed a trumpet player for a 9/11 memorial event. Rich was early, helpful and a fantastic player. Stop your search and book Rich!
Response from Rich Wardlow:
Wow thank you so much for the wonderful review
Rich Wardlow was on time, and pleasant. Our trumpet book is a mess, however, he still fit right in and transposed some songs on the spot. He was a pleasure to work with! I would use Rich and recommend him as well!
Rich and his team were wonderful! They're very talented. I would highly recommend them. He was very patient and polite. He made the whole process comfortable and smooth.
Rich, his trombonist, and bass player came in New Orleans style to surprise my boyfriend and a few friends for a birthday picnic. They were wonderful and we had such a fun time jamming with them! Everyone was so surprised and excited. Rich was super easy to work with and very communicative. We planned out the surprise and he was right on time! Thank you Rich!!
Response from Rich Wardlow:
Thank you very much for the kind words and review. We were happy to contribute to your celebration
Rich and 2 other brass players worked with us for our Central Park wedding. Rich was super easy to work with and very flexible (we had to make several date, time and location changes due to covid), and he always worked with me to accommodate. I knew I could count on them to show up and play crowd-pleasing tunes, and that's exactly what happened. We loved the mix of oldies, upbeat, and sentimental songs. They even played a "first dance" song for me and my now-husband, in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. What a special and perfectly New York City moment. I will cherish these memories forever. If you're looking for a brass trio for any type of wedding, engagement or other kind of party, I highly recommend Rich.
Absolutely amazing!! Surprised my Bride as she entered with Richard performing Trumpets voluntary, who was phenomenal!!
Response from Rich Wardlow:
Thank you Joe,
Rich Wardlow
Such a hot day in Central Park, but they were awesome. Rich was great with communication, knew where to be, plus on time. Sweet people. Learned a specific song even for the proposal event.
Response from Rich Wardlow:
Thank you so much Scott, I am blessed to have been a part of your proposal and an so happy it was a success.
Rich nailed all of the high notes playing in my pit for a demanding Sondheim show.
He tried his best, however my guests and I noticed his face turning red and him running out of breath during a few sets. A couple of off tunes that was noticeable didn't go over well but it's over now. Didn't get to speak to him after the set. He was scheduled from 11:30 to 12:00pm and at 12:02 he was no where to be found.
Rich and his horn band entertained a multi-generational family party for my mom's 95th birthday. He was very accommodating on creating the set list to span the generations, including big band music, rock music and of course happy birthday. He had the 4 year olds dancing around, and the adults clapping and tapping their toes.
Mr. Wardlow, was VERY PROFESSIONAL, PLEASANT, ON TIME & DRESSED NICE. His Music was a TRUE Blessing & I WOULD DEFINITELY Love to use his Service Again, Prayerfully for My Husband & My 35th Wedding Anniversary in August 2016, I WOULD DEFINITELY Recommend his Service, you WON'T Regret it.
I cannot thank Rich enough for providing the soundtrack to the most special moment of my life. I hired Rich to play some jazz tunes as I proposed to my girlfriend in Central Park. He was incredibly friendly and very easy to communicate with, and his services are more than reasonably priced. Rich is a brilliant musician, and his beautiful trumpet really just took my proposal over-the-top. Thank you again Rich!
