Exceptional
Bugler Matt Ward was exception.
Matt attended site to deliver a very poignant rendition of the Last Post and Reveille. His performance was highly rated by those who attended.
I would recommend and will certainly be using again.

Cannot go wrong with Bugler for Hire
We have used buglers from Bugler for Hire on multiple occasions. They have always been great to work with and have a great approach to customer liaising, making things feel seemless and friendly.
The buglers themselves have always performed very well and been professional for our Remembrance occasions.

Brilliant Bugler for Remembrance Event
We have hired a bugler for our large-scale Remembrance Event for the last three years and we are so pleased with the service provided. We have had Ben for the past two years and have already re-booked him for next year. The musicians arrive well before the event, appropriately dressed, talented, and respectful. Having a live bugler really adds to our event and on top of that the customer service with the organisation is top-tier. Great communication, reasonably priced, friendly and professional. We highly recommend using Bugler for Hire for any of your events.

School Act of Remembrance
I wholeheartedly recommend Buglerforhire. Antonio's advise, communication and speed in making the arrangements was first class. Thanks to Andrew's beautiful playing of The Last Post and Reveille, our whole school act of remembrance was very moving.

Last Post , fathers funeral
Antonio played the bugle at my fathers funeral with expertise and skill - we could not have asked for more and making the arrangements could not have been easier . Highly recommended
Antonio was amazing
Antonio was amazing. Very respectful and very smart.
Dad's funeral in Bath
Just been to dad's funeral, it was made so much better by Antonio playing the last post on his bugle, Dad would have been very happy and proud. Excellent service from Antonio .highly appreciated and recommended.
Colin Howson’s funeral
We were lucky enough to have Tony ex Guards, attend my fathers funeral. He played sunset and the last post and reveille. Done to a tea, one of the best buglers I have ever come across. He was professional and everyone commented on him. The background team also were super and helpful! All in all I know my father, ex navy, would of been proud to have him there.
Excellent !!
What a great team of people to deal with, the rendition of the Last Post and Reveille caused one of our mourners, a professional Classical Musician, to remark that she had never it played better and wanted to thank Tony personally.
Good communications and will definitely use them again. 5 Star !!!
The second time we've used Bugler for hire and certainly not the last!
This is the 2nd time we've used Antonio for our ceremony for 130+ people. He performed the Last Post and Reveille for our ceremony in full military dress, adding to the sense of the occasion.
A delight to deal with, he responded quickly to questions and we look forward to booking with him again next year.

I had an immediate response to my email enquiring about a bugler.It was very short notice, needed someone within 3 days The response was polite, helpful, telling me of options available and very reassuring. Our bugler arrived early to observe where he was playing; he was resplendent in uniform and his playing was superb. We had 9 veterans at the service and all were delighted to have him present. Many thanks to all concerned and special thanks to our bugler.

Beautiful playing
I booked Antonio to play the Last Post & Reveille at a friend's funeral (friend had served in the military). His playing was beautiful, but he went beyond anything we expected.
Antonio liaised directly with the Church which was a real benefit at a difficult emotional time.
I was just expecting him to be there for the end of the service to play, but he went over and above what we expected - he was there at the church as the hearse arrived, was present during the service to the side, and then after playing was there at the end as we all walked out of the church, and he walked in front of the hearse to the end of the road.
It was hugely respectful, very much appreciated by us and our friend's widow, and a credit to him and his regiment.
Can't thank you enough
I want to thank you for helping us say goodbye and honour our dad/ husband. Also for traveling so far in such terrible weather to make sure we made him proud. Thank you your kind words after the service.
