A family legacy of live performance

Real Entertainment was founded in 1990 by cellist Sally-Anne Brown, a graduate of the Mozarteum Salzburg, Austria.

Today, she is joined by her daughters Anna-Marie and Jessica — continuing a family tradition of musicianship built on professionalism, integrity and long-standing industry relationships.

We are musicians ourselves. We understand preparation, collaboration and the responsibility that comes with performing at life’s most memorable occasions.

EVENTS

  • “Real Entertainment’s professionalism, flexibility and commitment to excellence are unparalleled.”

    I have had the pleasure of working with Anna-Marie and the Real Entertainment team over the last two years while producing Fever Candlelight Concerts in New Zealand. The musicians are highly skilled and quick to learn an ever-changing repertoire, curating performances that consistently meet the highest professional standards. I highly recommend Real Entertainment for any event or production requiring exceptional live musicians and expert music curation.

  • “You truly elevated the atmosphere and made the ceremony and cocktail hour feel so elegant.”

    Vinnie and I want to extend our heartfelt thanks for the beautiful music you and the quartet provided on our wedding day. All of our guests commented on how much they loved the music. The timing was impeccable for Vinnie's entrance, and the young kids had a blast dancing to it.
