Belles and Beaus Handbell Quartet

Our professional musicians will arrive appropriately wardrobed for any occasion -- formal to casual. We use only professional handbells and equipment. We will work with you to provide precisely the type of performance you desire - from background music to featured group. With 9 ensembles, we can supply you with a full set up -- over 154 instruments, to a handful of musicians with two - four music stands and bells. We play a wide variety of repertoire form sacred to secular; classical to pop favorites.

Whether you are looking for wedding music, background music for corporate parties and events, retail events, festival performances, Christmas Tree lightings, private parties, hotel lobbies or large public venues, handbells delight audiences young and old with their mellow sound and novel appearance. Our bells are professionally polished and maintained and are beautiful to look at and to listen to.

During the Christmas season, especially, handbells are very popular with audiences as bell-ringing goes hand in hand with holiday traditions.

The Stafford Handbell Society was founded in 2005 by Neesa Hart and Phillip W. Lanier. Strategically located between Washington, DC, Charlottesville and Richmond, the Society serves a wide range of clients.

We have performed at:
The White House
Washington Reagan Airport
Washington Dulles International Airport
Weddings
Corporate parties
Ribbon Cuttings

Retail Christmas Events

Private Parties
Churches

We have 9 ensembles to meet the musical needs of any client and can perform in casual to formal environments.

We are proud members of Handbell Musicians of America

We need no additional equipment or set up. We can play with as little as 4 music stands -- which we provide, or, for a full set up, we need 40' of space to accommodate the tables.
