Nestled in the enchanting Delamere Forest, Nunsmere Hall is a breathtaking country house hotel that marries historic charm and timeless elegance. Framed by a stunning 60-acre lake and set against the backdrop of rural Cheshire, it’s the perfect country escape. This was the setting for today’s wedding between Kim and Des.

Ceremony, Drinks and Meal
The Wedding Ceremony
Arriving in good time, we started to set up in the ceremony room whilst the staff at Nunsmere Hall were clearing away from their breakfast service.
As well as providing music ourselves, today we were also accompanying a singer who was one of the wedding guests and Kim’s niece. The song she was singing was Can you Feel the love tonight. Originally this was going to be the exit piece but on the day we agreed to move this to the signing which was much better and gave Emma a chance to perform the song rather than just be heard for the beginning of the exit.

Drinks Reception
After the ceremony we relocated to the opposite end of the ceremony room so we could provide music for the indoor drinks reception as the weather outside was not suitable (rain!).
There wasn’t quite room for us in the room where the drinks reception was being held but we found a suitable space by the entrance between the ceremony room and the drinks reception. As well as being a convenient location for the drinks reception this also gave us a clear route for when we needed to relocate again for the wedding meal.
Kim and Des had asked us to include the following songs in their drinks reception:
Flash light – Jessie J
Endless Love – Lionel Richie & Diana Ross
A million dreams – Pink
The Wedding Breakfast
After a short drinks reception we relocated again with the help of the staff at Nunsmere Hall and set up for the wedding breakfast.
We particularly liked the wedding cake which we understand depicts Kim’s 8 cats! Music during the wedding breakfast included:
In my blood – Shawn Mendes
7 years – Lukas Graham
Dancing on my own – Robyn/Callum Scott
Stay with me – Sam Smith
When it comes to music choices, we always give our couples the chance to tell us what they’d like us to play. Some couples choose every song others just give us a small selection to include. There is no right or wrong we are happy to make a playlist to suit the occasion but do feel it is important the couples own music tastes are represented. To help couples choose the music they would like we have nearly 300 songs recorded on our listen page which is there as inspiration.
