Here’s what our clients have to say about Brass Attack!
Michael Janusonis, Providence Sunday Journal wrote of Brass Attack's Performance at The Governor's Ball:
“ . . . Brass Attack moved effortlessly from mellow to swing to rock.”
Review from "The Knot" On 11/23/2016 Crystal C
Brass Attack went above and beyond for our wedding. The whole band sounded on point and were very professional . They timed things perfectly and stuck to our timeline we provided to them, while keeping everything stress-free for us. All of our guests raved about them, and couldn't believe how every song was the perfect song to dance to. They read the crowd very well and kept the party going, If you are looking for a band for your wedding, there is no better choice.
Fantastic Wedding Band!
Review from "The Knot" On 8/04/2012 Lauren D
What a great night thanks to these guys! Could not have asked for better music and fun entertainment! They had everyone on the floor dancing: from ages 2 to 85. Even better was the a capella serenade.

From: (email address withheld for privacy)

Dear Mr. Petteruti,
We attended the Terino wedding, this past summer, and thoroughly enjoyed your band's music and presentation. Our daughter is planning for a September 6th evening wedding to be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel (Warwick) and we were interested in your availability. My husband did speak with you at the Terino wedding (at the Alpine CC) and we got a card from you.
I do have to tell you, though, that my husband could not stop raving about the quality of your group and what impressed him. Not to mention how fantastic your music and vast choice of selections are, he thinks it's terrific that you go right into your next song without hesitation. So many groups lose the crowd in between songs. Our son owns a disc jockey service (IN THE MIX) and has been working it for 7-8 years. We've seen how important it is not to lose the crowd and to keep the music going. Maybe that's why we're spoiled but that was one of the reasons why my husband wanted to contract your group. Our 'crowd,' and many of our friends and family, love to dance so we wanted a terrific band.
I look forward to hearing from you either via e-mail or by phoning me at (telephone number deleted for privacy).
Thank you for your time.......sincerely,
Sharon Gizzarelli

Tom,
Jen and I just wanted to let you guys know that Brass Attack was fantastic at our wedding! You really made the wedding an exceptional one and there wasn't one guest who didn't comment on how great the band was and how much fun they had! I also wanted to tell you how much I appreciated the a capella song that you guys did. That was as an absolute masterpiece and you had me in tears!!
Jen and I will be sure to catch some of your shows in Providence and elsewhere.
See you again soon.

Thank You Card from Father of the Bride:
“You guys were awesome . . . your selection of songs, which seemed to match the various moods of the evening, was magical. This wasn’t just a wedding, it was a party, even I danced for the last two hours and believe me I rarely dance at all.”
Thank you,
Michael Perlini
Thank You Card from Bride:
“From the timing of the music to the types of music played, everything was perfect. A truly incredible band . . . I don’t think the dance floor was empty once during the night. Working with the guys from Brass Attack was the best wedding decision we made!”

Hi Tom - How are you? Good I hope.
Mike and I did not get a chance to say good bye and thank you after our wedding. You guys did such an awesome job! Everyone is still talking about the wedding and how great the band was. Mike and I were saying when we went to see you at 20 Water St. you sounded really good, but you were great at our wedding! Your a capella songs were awesome as well.
Thanks again! We will definitely refer you to anyone who is looking for a band for their event.
Take care!

Subject: RE: James Wright/Kate Voute Wedding - July 31
Tom,
We’re back from a great honeymoon in Italy, rested and relaxed and back to reality. We’ve started to hear tales from the wedding – everyone had a great time – and across the board we’re getting great feedback on you guys. Everyone said you were great – and I think that’s a particularly strong compliment given that we kept interrupting you with the slideshow, toasts, my brothers and I playing a tune, etc.
I felt bad about the timing (how we didn’t get anyone into the tent really for the first hour and we kept interrupting you), but when you had the chance you guys really got the crowd going and kicked it into gear quickly. Also it was great that you were able to play that extra ½ hour – that made a huge difference in the night. I wish it could have gone on for a few more hours.
Thanks again for a great show and for being so professional in all aspects from planning to setup to the show to breakdown. I hope you got a moment to enjoy the view, eat a nice meal, etc.
Hopefully we’ll get a chance to see you guys again sometime soon.
James

You guys are just TERRIFIC!! What wonderful music!! It is two weeks since Andrew and Pam's wedding and we are still on a "wedding high" ....... keep hearing wonderful things about your playing.....wish you could hear them all.
Your band is so together with excellent musicians....all. Do you ever play at clubs, concerts, etc? Do you have a mailing list? E-mail perhaps to let folks know when you may be in an area? Do you play at colleges? We would just love to hear you again.....dance again too to your music!
Would like to hear more solos from your alto sax player and I am sure others in the band as well.
THANK YOU ALL for filling our evening with joy-in-our hearts and rhythm in our toes music!

Hi Tom,
I just wanted to thank you for all that you did to make our wedding special. My parents, Mark and I have all received numerous compliments on the music. Every song sounded great! The songs that you learned for parent-child dances came out beautiful. The mic at the ceremony was a tremendous help. It worked out perfectly. Thank you for the extra set-up that it involved. Best of luck to you and the band.
Sincerely,
