Moreton-in-Marsh Wedding – August 2009

Congratulations to Maureen and Guy – wedding at Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire

We’ve played many times at the Manor House in Moreton in Marsh, but today was the quartet’s first visit to the Parish church behind the hotel. There truly was a mix of cultures at the wedding blessing, with people having travelled from across the British Isles, America, Australia and Norway.  Maureen walked in to Pachelbel’s Canon, and the couple exited to All You Need Is Love by The Beatles.

Whole-day bookings are becoming increasingly popular in the last few months, and it’s often a good job we have around 10 hours of music to choose from. The couple had chosen a light-classic selection for their outside drinks reception, to help maintain a feel of grandure and ocassion. We then moved inside for the wedding breakfast, where the guests were so taken by our 2-hour non-stop performance of Jazz standards that we were given a standing ovation at the end!
