Quartet Wedding!

As I’m sure all of our previous clients will know, Sarah and I have been a couple for longer than this quartet has been together, and as the quartet comes towards celebrating a decade of providing music for weddings, that’s quite a long time. We met at the University of Birmingham, where we were both studying music.

The Ardeton Quartet had an unusually quiet opening to August this year, as Sarah and I were married at the one of our favourite venues to play – The Great Tythe Barn in Tetbury, after a wedding ceremony at St Johns in Chipping Sodbury. We had an absolutely fantastic day, but we’re not telling anyone what our music choices were – we like to stay impartial during music consultations!

However, we would like to say thank you and give a big recommendation to: The Great Tythe Barn – who were as always fantastically professional and accomodating; and to Eilieen Johanna and her band who provided the perfect backdrop to our meal; and The Moon Loungers who kept us singing and dancing into the night and reminded us very much of ourselves as they had as much fun as the guests getting on with the music!

Anyway, as I said in my speech(!), it’s a great pleasure to spend every weekend playing opposite my best friend in the quartet for weddings and events, and now I can say ‘my wife’!
