Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, The Windsor Guildhall is a wonderfully inspiring and iconic wedding venue where you will certainly have a day to remember.
Situated in the heart of the historic town of Windsor just a few steps away from Windsor Castle, the Windsor Guildhall is a stunning Grade I listed event space, ideal for weddings, private dining, corporate events and filming opportunities.
Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla were married at the Windsor Guildhall in 2005. The Guildhall was also proud to have hosted the civil partnership ceremony of Elton John and his husband David Furnish on the first day the ceremonies became legal in England and Wales. Very fitting therefore that we should be playing a song by Elton for the couple exit.
The Wedding
Eleanor and Jonson
Windsor Guildhall and The York Club, Windsor
Thursday 30 May 2024
Ceremony, Drinks, Meal and First Dance
With the Guildhall being in the centre of Windsor there was initially a small logistical challenge of getting our instruments into the venue. Fortunately however, some 30 years earlier whilst at University at Royal Holloway Jules also used to be the organist and director of music at Windsor Parish Church.
Even more fortunately the current organist there remembered this fact and allowed us to use the organist space behind the parish church. This made it very easy for us to unload our instruments into the venue and gave us a parking spot just moments from the Guildhall.

Reception at the York Club in Windsor Great Park
After the ceremony we made our way out of Windsor and into the Great Park for the second setup of the day at the York Club. Here we were providing music for the Reception Meal and First Dance.
Our music for the wedding breakfast included:
– Dancing in the Moonlight – Toploader

Later on we also then provided music for Eleanor and Jonson’s First Dance which linked in seamlessly to their DJ afterwards, taking over for the evening party.
The song they had chosen for their first dance was Count on Me by Bruno Mars.
We really enjoyed being a part of Eleanor and Jonson’s fantastic wedding in Windsor at both the Guildhall and the York Club. We wish them every happiness as they embark on their married life together.
