Top 5 Best Wedding Ceremony Songs: Processional

Top 5 Best Wedding Ceremony Songs: Processional I’ve been perusing the forums on many wedding themed websites and blogs recently in a bid to keep up to date with what brides are looking for with regards to music for the wedding ceremony.  I get booked to play guitar at the wedding ceremony on lots of occasions so it’s important to keep my repertoire current.  However instead of finding a deluge of answers, I uncovered many more questions regarding music for the wedding ceremony.  One of the questions which seems to keep popping up is “Which songs should I choose for the [...]

Peckforton Castle | Cheshire

I’ve been looking forward to playing at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire ever since I took the booking way back in August last year.  The venue is simply stunning!  To deepen my anticipation I treated myself to a new DSLR camera for my birthday last week, which I’ve been dying to try out somewhere picturesque.  The British weather is always something of a gamble; snow in April, heat waves in December.  I had my fingers crossed that today would at least be dry and relatively clear so that I could road test my new camera.  Low and behold, by some miracle the [...]

Hilltop Country House | Cheshire

This was the first of two performances I’ve been booked for in Cheshire this week.  Yesterday I played classical guitar at Louise and Adam’s wedding ceremony at the Hilltop Country House in the Macclesfield area of Cheshire.  The venue is a lovely well kept country house, hidden away out of sight of the main roads.  I was met at the venue by Martin, who I believe runs the Hilltop Country House and also doubles as the wedding photographer.  I enjoy working with family run businesses as their passion for their work really comes across.  We had a quick informal chat before the [...]

All Saints Church | Shropshire

If there was ever an advert for travelling early for a booking, today was it.  I had been asked to play classical guitar at Julia and Matt’s wedding ceremony at All Saints Church in Shropshire.  This is approximately a 1 hour drive which I consider to be pretty local (bearing in mind I travel all over the UK to play guitar at weddings).  I set out at 10am hoping to arrive at 11am in time for a 12:30pm start.  Everything was going so well; I made good time on the roads and there was no traffic even though V festival [...]
