Congratulations to Anna and Rhodri!

On June 21st we played for the wedding of Anna and Rhodri at St John’s Church in Bath. Anna had chosen to walk in to Pachelbel’s Canon in D, and the sunlight poured in to follow her down the aisle which made for a wonderful entrance! The couple had also chosen some of their favourite pop songs to be played whilst they signed the registers after the formal part of the ceremony was over.  We then moved to the charming setting of Priston Mill Watermill to play for the happy couple and their guests as they arrived from church, keeping the music upbeat with more from our jazz and pop repertoire.

We have since received a lovely thank-you letter from Anna and Rhodri, and we feel touched by their gratitude that our music helped to make their day special.

The Database Group Ltd, Summer Ball

The evening of June 21st found us at the Bristol Royal Marriott Hotel to entertain staff from The Database Group Ltd for their annual Summer Ball. We donned our best dinner jackets and evening dresses for this glamorous black-tie event, and performed classical music to greet people arriving for the drinks reception, following this with light summery jazz music during dinner.

Our first visit to Lower Slaughter

Many congratulations to Phoebe and Tariq who held their wedding in the exquisite Lower Slaughter Manor in the heart of the Cotswolds. It was the first time the Quartet had played here, and we were very impressed! After playing for Phoebe and Tariq’s ceremony we moved outside under the shade of an enormous tree so that we could play for the couple’s guests whilst they had photos taken in the grounds of the stunning Manor.

Reception at St Pierre, Chepstow

Congratulations to Angela and Andrew who held their wedding reception at St Pierre in Chepstow. The Quartet played outside on the lawn to greet the newlyweds as they arrived from church, before moving into the hallway to play as drinks were served. It was a busy afternoon at St Pierre, so many of the Hotel’s other residents were also able to enjoy our music as wedding guests mingled in the lounge.

Congratulations Vicky and Andy

We made a welcome return to the secluded setting of Cripps Barn near Bibury to play for the wedding reception of Vicky and Andy. Although the weather was less than summery there was plenty of room in the marquee and several guests requested our pop song arrangements during the afternoon.

Summer sunshine

Congratulations to Joanne and David who married in the beautiful Tortworth Court on 7th June. We played the couple’s personal choices during the marriage ceremony, then entertained their guests on the lawn whilst Jo and David had photos taken in the grounds. They had obviously brought the good weather with them from Australia!

A Quartet road-trip!

The end of May found us heading up the M6 early one Saturday morning to play for the wedding of Ann-Marie and Daniel in Flintshire. We provided live music for their church wedding ceremony, and then dodged heavy weekend traffic to arrive at St David’s Park Hotel in time to greet their guests arriving from church after the photos. The couple had personalised their day by requesting several pop song arrangements, and guests both young and old were seen to be singing along!

Congratulations to Hannah and Steve, 30th May

We made a welcome return to the Tythe Barn at Priston Mill to play for Hannah and Steve’s wedding day. The couple had put a great deal of thought into their music for the day, and we enjoyed playing a special arrangement of Damien Rice’s ‘Cannonball’ for Hannah’s entrance. After photos and drinks on the lawn we moved inside to play their guests’ Jukebox selections during the wedding breakfast, including several special dedications to the happy couple.
