Hiring the BSCE for our ceremony and cocktail hour was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Paul and Kris were a dream to work with. To say they were "accommodating" is an understatement. They arranged a special version of my one of my grandmother's favorite songs to play for her at cocktail hour AND they arranged the most gorgeous version of my favorite Rolling Stones song, which my dad walked me down the aisle to. They went above and beyond all expectations - the perfect "wow" factor for any wedding.

Our wedding music was AMAZING!!!! I wanted an upgrade as to what our church "package" offered and I wanted to bring an element of sophistication to our ceremony and reception.....We could not have been happier with our choice of the BSCE. They walked us through what our options were, allowing our taste in music to shine. The strings and trumpet added a regal, majestic feel, adding that special component that I was looking for. We were so grateful the BSCE was available and could not imagine our wedding without them! (And they were so nice and accommodating throughout the process)

One of my most favorite memories from my wedding was walking down the aisle to Trumpet Voluntary, I had goosebumps from the BSCE playing Trumpet Voluntary. This was the same song my mother walked in to at my parents wedding and it literally took my breath away as my dad and I began our walk. The BSCE played this song (and all the others) with exceptional finesse! I can't remember a time in my life when I felt more like a princess than in that moment. To say they added a great sound to the songs for my ceremony would be an understatement, they completed my ceremony! The BSCE added a level of class and elegance with their perfect sound to give my wedding ceremony the magical feel I was envisioning. The rich sound of their instruments filled the church and really put our ceremony over the top, I still get compliments about them! They will be my first call if ever the situation arises for musical talent! Kris and Paul were super easy to work with, once we picked our songs we emailed them over and it was so stress free! We recommend them to all our friends and family and hope to have an event that needs their talent again in the future! Thanks for making our day so perfect and memorable and for making this day everything we could have dreamed of and more!

Kris and Paul made the process of choosing our music so easy. Phone calls helped answer any questions and Paul had contacted the church to become familiar with the setting. We are grateful that this process was so easy. On top of that, the string quartet and cantor that we had perform for our ceremony was amazing. We got to select each and every song and they were beautifully played. Our guests enjoyed the music so much; a family member booked BSCE for their big day coming up!! We're so happy with how everything turned out, and would recommend BSCE for any event!

I cannot imagine an instrumental ensemble capable of creating a more beautiful musical experience than BSCE! The music they provided for my daughter's wedding was absolutely magnificent! Every piece was polished and perfected, yet played expressively from the heart. We chose to have a string quintet, 2 trumpets and a timpani. Each musician performed at virtuoso level; as a group, they achieved a superb blend. The BSCE has an endless repertoire, ranging from chamber classics and trumpet voluntaries for ceremony music to light jazz and pop for cocktail / dinner music. Each piece is arranged so creatively and played so professionally that is is an absolute joy to listen to them play! Plus, they will customize their music to fit your needs: in our case, they worked with us to add and subtract interludes and musical repeats to achieve the perfect timing for our processionals. They will also customize the combination of instruments to fit your preferences. They are consummate professionals who love what they do and perform with breath-taking artistry. In addition, founders Paul & Kris Semanic are among the most delightful people l have ever worked with. They will take a genuine interest in making your event musically perfect!
