We had Big Wy's Brass Band do a marching-band style set for our wedding, and they were a Huge hit with our guests. They had a lot of fun, original songs and got everyone up and dancing. Their price was more than fair, and they were also super professional from start to finish. They were prompt, well dressed, and followed all instructions we had given. Probably our favorite of all our wedding vendors. Highly recommend!

Big Wy's Brass Band is an Austin, TX-based brass band originally formed by some students who just wanted to have a good time. After a few jam sessions, Wyatt Corder (Big Wy) brought in other funky players to join the band.
Since then the band has dominated competitions such as "JamFest" and the "3rd Annual Hand Drawn Records Competition". This funky ensemble has had the privilege of playing at other well-known events and venues in and around the Austin, TX area such as “Carnaval Brasilerio” at the Palmer Events Center alongside the nationally renowned Austin Samba School, “Swamp Fest”, and at the “HONKTX! 2015 Brass Band Festival”, which brings some of the most popular brass bands from around the nation together for three days. Big Wy’s Brass Band performed at this year's SXSW for the “Hand Drawn Records Brass House” showcase and the “Paper Boat Records Kick Butt Coffee” showcase. This band came together 3 years ago and has since been having fun making music for both themselves and their audiences. Big Wy’s Brass Band is proud of its past accomplishments and looks forward to making more for as many years possible.
