Wedding in Daventry United Reform Church
Last Friday we played for a wedding that took place in the United Reform Church in Daventry. This venue is tucked away in the centre of the town and is a charming 18th century chapel. The guests all arrived and took their seats very early so the string duo (consisting of a violin and viola) kept [...]
Wedding at Weston Manor, Oxfordshire
On Friday, Emma (viola) and I performed as a string duo for a couple who had flown over from Australia to get married at Weston Manor in Oxfordshire. The wedding ceremony itself took place in a part of the garden which was enclosed by high hedges. As it was an overcast day, we were able [...]
Wedding at the Swan in Streatley on Thames
Last Saturday the quartet went down to the beautiful village of Streatley on Thames where a couple were getting married at the well known hotel and wedding venue ‘The Swan’.
As it was a lovely, warm day we played under a gazebo on a lawn next to the Thames as guests assembled and made their way [...]
Wedding at Gorse Hill, Woking, Surrey
On Friday, myself and Ali (cello) played as a string duo for a wedding held at Gorse Hill just outside Woking in Surrey. Of the many hundreds of venues which we have played at, this one certainly proved to be one of the friendliest, with very personable staff who made us feel extremely welcome.
As each [...]
Wedding at Friern Manor Country House
Yesterday, Emma (cellist) and myself played as a string duo for a wedding held at Friern Manor Country House in Essex. We started playing as guests assembled for the ceremony at the front of the building. The corner of the room held a piano and we positioned ourselves in front of this, in an open [...]
Wedding at Rowhill Grange, Kent
On Friday, Becky (cellist) and I travelled down to Dartford in Kent to play for the wedding ceremony of a couple getting married at Rowhill Grange Hotel and Utopia Spa. On a beautiful September day we set up our stands to the side of the aisle next to a pagoda in the grounds of the [...]
Wedding at Letchworth Hall Hotel, Hertfordshire
Last Sunday, Tony (cellist) and I performed as a string duo for a wedding held at Letchworth Hall Hotel, in Letchworth.
It was a big day as altogether we were required to play for over four hours, spread over almost six hours - so although we had plenty of breaks, it was quite a long working [...]
Wedding at the Bear of Rodborough Hotel
On Thursday, Ali (cellist) and I travelled across to Gloucestershire to perform as a violin and cello duo for a wedding held at the Bear of Rodborough Hotel.
Thursday weddings are becoming increasingly popular and we have several booked in for both 2010 and 2011 - perhaps by getting away from peak Saturdays, there is a [...]
Wedding at Flitwick Manor
Last week, Nancy (viola) and I played for a wedding at Menzies Flitwick Manor in Bedfordshire. As this venue is quite intimate, a string quartet would have taken up too much space in the wedding ceremony room so we recommended a string duo which the couple were delighted with as it also helped them to [...]
Wedding at Fanhams Hall
On Sunday we found ourselves back at Fanhams Hall once more, on a beautiful sunny day - playing for a wedding ceremony and reception. The couple chose to get married in a garden area to the side of the building, surrounded by high hedges with a green wooden structure which allowed the formal part of [...]
