Wedding of Laura and Phill at Lucknam Park, Colerne

Congratulations to Laura and Phill, whose wedding took place at Lucknam Park, Colerne.

The Ardeton String Quartet were delighted to play at Lucknam Park again after some time away from Colerne. This small but exquisite hotel and house is a favourite with the quartet for its long, straight driveway overlooked by trees. Perhaps one of the most detailed venues for customer service, Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers proved to be the perfect accompaniment for the well-rehearsed waiters as they fanned out in a perfectly choreographed manouvre to serve each table.

The String Quartet had been booked to accompany the entire day, from the ceremony through til after the speeches, and we quickly struck a rappor with the guests. After the couple’s ceremony in the ‘music room’, we moved outside and filled the terraced courtyard with light classical music as the sun shone down.

Laura and Phill chose the unique ‘string quartet jukebox’ cards for their wedding breakfast, and tables quickly brought their requests to the quartet. We had also arranged some music from the Lion King, which we were asked to play to the younger guests. After the speeches we played a few more lively jazz and pop arrangements as the wedding party started to move out once more onto the lawn in the evening sunshine.
