"What an incredible experience. We hired Brandon and his team for our wedding surprise and was worth every penny! Not only did they bring such great energy, but they also played a ton of more modern-day songs in a brass band format. It was epic and would highly recommend!"

"We had Judikael play sax alongside our DJ at a very short notice and he did not dissapoint! He was amazing! We're a UK couple who got married in France and we were a little aprehensive due to the language barrier, but Judikeal absolutely smashed it! We couldnt thank him enough for saving the day when our previous sax player cancelled at such short notice. Judikael was stationary as well as walking and having a boogie on the dancefloor whilst playing sax along with the music. He really made some songs his own and made them sound even better. He was honestly absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much Judikael, you were amazing! 10/10 would recommend!!"

"The band were great, very lively with a bunch of personality. They were keen to take the music throughout the venue which was great, we don’t usually see bands get that involved and eager to roam! "

"“The Ambrassadors were absolutely incredible, they went above and beyond to make our wedding so special. From making a surprise entrance through the back of the venue to dancing on the dancefloor with everyone. All the guests could not get over how amazing they were and are still talking about it now. They made it such a fun party and the dancefloor was jam-packed whilst they were playing. The band were so much fun and are a fantastic group of talented musicians, they honestly made the whole day!!"

"Planner here leaving review- Steven was amazing! He heard what the clients wanted and did exactly that! He went above and beyond - dressing to their theme, arriving early for setup and sound check, creating a list for each hours buildup to the DJ and then connected with the guests on the dance floor! Highly recommend for your next event! He does the extra mile without being asked and that is so appreciated in the event world!!! "

" All Music Review Thom Jurek The title of this set is an apt one. While much of the music presented by the Rick Holland-Evan Dobbins Little Big Band, it hearkens back -- in terms of its sophistication, confidence and outright jazz literacy, not nostalgically -- to an era when progressive jazz, and big bands (this one numbering 10 pieces) flourished on the scene. This is one sophisticated outfit. Featuring the arrangement and compositional skills of Brent Wallarab, Jim Martin, Bill Dobbins and Kerry Strayer, this band struts out the tradition and make some joyous, complex, and elegant music that reflects its own unique identity. The résumés of all these players are impressive and reflected in the confidence of the date. It opens with "SUNY-Triangle," a Martin composition that works its artful sleight-of-hand over Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Triste." Martin uses the rhythmically complex samba and drapes some tough, knotty twists and turns over it. The intro is a beautiful and raucous wake-up call, while the head of the tune, with its staggered entrances and exits -- including some fine soloing by John Viavattine on tenor and John Nyerges on piano -- give this tune a unique identity. "Creature Comfort" is a beautiful mid-tempo ballad by Wallarab with edgeless yet multi-dimensional dissonances written into its harmonics. It swings beautifully and includes a fine, punchy solo by tenorman Glenn Cashman. Besides the originals, there are some fine readings here as well. There's Wallarab's arrangement of Duke Ellington's "Black and Tan Fantasy" that's a thoroughly modern exercise losing none of Ellington's humor or rhythmic complexity. Likewise, Gerry Mulligan's haunting, wee-hours, "Night Lights," is given expert treatment here by Strayer, and Dean Keller's baritone saxophone playing combines Mulligan's sense of lyric and Ben Webster's sense of time. In Time's Shadow reveals that innovation need not sacrifice accessibility or swing. It is convincing evidence that the big band form is alive, well and full of surprises."

"We had the Big Smoke Brass come and play at our wedding in Cornwall and I cannot recommend them highly enough! They learnt our first dance song specifically for our wedding and it was amazing to have the band play such a special song to us. We had so many wedding guests come up to us and say how awesome they thought the band were and they definitely got the party started! I would book them again without hesitation! Huge thank you Big Smoke Brass for making our wedding one to remember! :D"
