Re: brass quintet music for a wedding
There is the handful of obvious choices right?
Trumpet Voluntary
Jesu, joy of mans desiring
Ave Maria
etc
Are you looking for any suggestions or just non-conventional ones?

A plug for the Aardworks Wedding/Graduation collection for brass quintet.
The company is run by Gil Long, tubist of the Nashville Symphony. The collection is excellent, and includes well-thought-out rests in all parts (unlike many of the old Robert King arrangements that can eat your face). These arrangements sound great.
Well worth the purchase!

Re: brass quintet music for a wedding
Canadian Brass has a wedding book. Also their Intermediate book of quintets has a number of nice pieces such as the Pachelbel Kanon, My Heart Ever Faithful, and a few others I can't recall right now and they are very easy to put together and sound good.
Also I have a few charts too if you want to pm me.

Re: brass quintet music for a wedding
There is a new sheet music site that I found whose format finally takes advantage of the technology available. The music is not all great yet but some is good and there is the possibility of listening to EVERY arrangement before purchase as well as the ability to download and store the PDF's on your computer and print at your leisure. They even have a lower price for digital downloads versus the original snail-mail option. Robert Elkjer has stuff on there, so they are not amateurs. They offer a wedding gig in a package deal with all the standards. I think it runs about $35 for the full 25 or so pieces for quintet. Here is the link:
