Occasional Brass and Strings: Planning Your Wedding or Event: Musical Flash Mobs

Musical Flash Mobs

We've had alot of inquiries and bookings to recreate the recessional (All You Need Is Love) from Love Actually. We've done it so many times at this point, that it's very easy to pull together. If you've never seen the scene from the movie, the YouTube video is embedded below - just press play. But don't let it stop at this scene - we can pull together a custom flash mob for any occasion (ceremony, reception, corporate event, proposal), with instrumentation and an arrangement just for you. The ideas below are canned packages to recreate Love Actually. To start specs for your own event, contact us today.
