It’s always a pleasure to return to Elmore Court to provide music for another wedding there. Today we had the privilege of playing daytime music for Bethany and Joels Wedding to include music for their wedding ceremony and drinks reception.

Music for the Wedding Ceremony
Elmore Court is a beautiful venue in South Gloucestershire and it is always a pleasure to provide music for weddings there. The staff are welcoming and helpful and there is never any fuss when it comes to unloading and setting up our instruments in the ceremony room.
Today was no exception and we arrived around 90 minutes or so ahead of the scheduled ceremony start time to set up at the rear of the ceremony room as directed by the couple.
From there we provided music throughout the ceremony which included:
Pre Ceremony
O Mio Babbino Caro – Puccini
I Giorni
What a wonderful world
Portuguese theme – Love Actually
Bridgerton theme tune
Bridal Entrance
Beyonce – Halo
Signing
Signed Sealed Delivered – Stevie Wonder
Kiss the Girl – Little Mermaid
Exit
Here Comes The Sun – The Beatles
Bethany entered after her bridesmaids and had the most beautiful dress on with the phrase ‘To Pluto and Back’ embroidered into the train which we understand was their saying. Presumably it was part of ‘I love you to…” Anyway it looked amazing:
The Drinks Reception
After the ceremony we moved outside for the drinks reception on the East lawn. At Elmore there are rules about speakers remaining inside. However this is absolutely not a problem as we can set up and play outside and simply run some longer cables out of the window. By doings so, whilst we are outside, our speakers remain inside to comply with the noise regulations at Elmore Court.
Our set for the drinks reception included the following songs:
Love me like you do – Ellie Goulding
I get to love you – Ruelle
Africa – Toto
A million dreams – Greatest Showman
Nothing else matters – Metallica
A thousand years – Christina Perri
This will be an everlasting love – Natalie Cole
All you need is love – The Beatles
Everywhere – Fleetwood Mac
How deep is your love – Bee Gees
Love story – Taylor Swift
All the Small things – Blink 182 (John Lewis advert)
Wildest Dreams – Taylor Swift
Can you feel the love tonight – Lion King
Accidently in love – Shrek
Part of your world/Under the Sea – Disney
She – Elvis Costello
L-O-V-E – Nat King Cole
Feeling good – Nina Simone
The Cave – Mumford and Sons
Mr Brightside – The Killers
We really enjoyed being a part of Bethany and Joel’s wedding and we wish them every happiness as they embark on their married life together.
