Eternally Ours Entertainment was co-founded by a professional trumpet player — so when you book live brass with us, you’re not getting an add-on. You’re getting the instrument that started it all.
Our co-founder is a professional trumpet player — this isn’t a side offering. It’s the instrument the company was built around.

Live Trumpet Music for Weddings
Not Just for the Ceremony Anymore
Most couples think of a trumpet player as a ceremony musician someone who plays the processional and then packs up. That’s a narrow view of what this instrument can actually do. A skilled trumpet player can carry your ceremony from prelude through recessional, shift into jazz ensemble standards during cocktail hour, and weave live brass moments into your reception.
We offer trumpet as a solo instrument, paired with a DJ, or as part of a larger live music package. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony at a Twin Cities ballroom or an outdoor fall wedding along the Mississippi River bluffs in western Wisconsin, there’s a version of this that fits your day.
Guests who’ve never thought twice about ceremony music will still be talking about it the next morning — that’s what live trumpet does.
Your processional becomes the moment everyone in the room actually feels, not just watches.
You get a musician who improvises in real time — not a recording that doesn’t respond to what’s happening in the room.
Cocktail hour shifts from background noise to a genuine atmosphere that keeps guests engaged between ceremony and reception.
You stop choosing between a DJ’s versatility and the emotional pull of live music — our hybrid approach gives you both.
Instrumentation can be adjusted up to three months before your event date, so you’re not locked in before your vision is fully formed.
Guests consistently tell couples they received compliments on the music all night — and into the next day.
Trumpeter for Hire in Minnesota and Wisconsin
One Performer. Two Skills. No Compromise.
There’s a growing trend in wedding receptions across Minnesota and Wisconsin toward the DJ and live musician hybrid the idea that you don’t have to pick one or the other. Most entertainment companies address this by coordinating two separate vendors. We built it into a single performer.
Jan known as DJ Janny is the only performer in this market who DJs and plays trumpet at the same time. That’s not a gimmick. It’s a skill developed over years of professional performance, and it shows up in how the music actually feels. One couple put it plainly in their review: “The way he incorporated his trumpet into the songs we requested was unique and fun.” Another said his trumpet playing was “only exemplified through his warm and captivating personality.”
When you book a wedding trumpet player in Minnesota or Wisconsin through Eternally Ours Entertainment, you’re not booking a musician who plays a set and steps aside. You’re booking someone who reads the room, adapts in real time, and keeps the energy exactly where it needs to be from the moment guests are seated through the last song of the night.
Wedding Ceremony Trumpet Packages Minnesota and Wisconsin
Packages Built Around Your Whole Day
The Legacy package pairs a DJ with live music for your ceremony or cocktail hour, featuring solo or duo performances on trumpet, saxophone, violin, guitar, piano, upright bass, cello, or vocals. If you want live music at both your ceremony and cocktail hour alongside a full DJ for the reception, the Premium package covers that. For couples who want the full experience — multiple live musicians, premium production, and a reception band — the Eternal package brings all of it together.
Every package includes our client portal, pre-event planning support, and the kind of communication that makes the weeks before your wedding feel manageable instead of stressful. We’ve built relationships with venues across the Twin Cities and Madison, which means we already know the rooms, the coordinators, and the details that tend to matter most on the day itself.
Can a trumpet player perform songs that aren't classical at a wedding?
Yes — and this is probably the most common misconception we run into. A lot of couples assume the trumpet is limited to Baroque processionals like the Trumpet Voluntary or Pachelbel’s Canon. Our lead performer is a seasoned improviser with deep knowledge of popular music across genres. That means soul, funk, jazz standards, and contemporary hits are all on the table. If there’s a song that matters to you, the conversation is worth having. The trumpet is a far more versatile instrument than most people realize when they start planning their wedding music.
Do I need a trumpet player for the whole wedding, or just the ceremony?
That’s entirely up to you, and honestly, both approaches work well depending on your vision. A solo trumpet for the ceremony alone — prelude, processional, and recessional — is a meaningful and focused use of the instrument. But if you want live brass to carry through cocktail hour as well, that’s where the experience really opens up. Jazz improvisation during cocktail hour creates a completely different atmosphere than background music. Our packages in Minnesota and Wisconsin are built to accommodate both options, so you’re not forced into a full-day commitment if that’s not what you need.
What's the difference between hiring a solo trumpet player and booking through Eternally Ours Entertainment?
A solo musician hired through a marketplace shows up, plays their set, and leaves. There’s no event coordination, no backup plan, no planning portal, and often no real communication between booking and the wedding day. When you book through Eternally Ours Entertainment, you’re working with a full-service entertainment company that handles the entire arc of your event — not just one instrument for one moment. We’re fully insured, we have established relationships with venues across Minnesota and Wisconsin, and we’ve built a planning process specifically designed to reduce the stress that comes with coordinating entertainment for a major event.
How far in advance should I book a wedding trumpet player in Minnesota or Wisconsin?
For peak dates — Saturday weddings in the May through October season, holiday weekends, and especially September and October when fall foliage drives high demand for outdoor ceremonies across Minnesota and Wisconsin — we’d encourage you to reach out as early as possible. Twelve to eighteen months ahead is not unusual for the most sought-after dates in the Twin Cities metro and the Madison area. That said, we do occasionally have availability for shorter lead times, so it’s always worth a conversation even if your date is closer. The earlier you reach out, the more options you’ll have when it comes to package customization and instrumentation.
Can a trumpet player perform outdoors, and how does that work at Minnesota and Wisconsin venues?
Outdoor ceremonies are very common across Minnesota and Wisconsin, particularly during the fall foliage season along the Mississippi River bluffs corridor and at lakefront venues throughout both states. The trumpet’s natural projection actually works in its favor outdoors — it carries well without amplification in open-air settings. For venues with sound restrictions or noise ordinances, we can discuss amplification options and volume management as part of the planning process. We’ve performed at a wide range of outdoor venues across the region and understand the specific acoustic considerations that come with different settings, from open farmland to wooded forest preserves.
How can we include a wedding trumpet player in our Minnesota or Wisconsin celebration?
Live trumpet can bring a personal touch to your ceremony, a lively atmosphere to cocktail hour, or extra energy alongside a DJ. Choose a solo musician for your ceremony, a trumpet and DJ hybrid for your ceremony and cocktail hour through our Legacy package, or a more expansive setup through our Premium or Eternal packages. Tell us about your venue, guest count, and vision, and we’ll help you find the right fit for your day.
