Today after staying overnight near Boston in Lincolnshire we returned to Norfolk for the second wedding in East Anglia in as many days. The venue today was the beautiful setting of Godswick Hall near to Kings Lynn.

Today was our first visit to Godswick Hall although we will be returning to there later in the year. On this occasion it was for the rather lovely wedding of Ben and Emma. We set up, as directed, at the rear of the ceremony space which had been beautifully decorated in some lovely shades of green.

Again here there was a couple of new songs for us to get into and make our own arrangement of for Cello and Piano. It’s worth noting that JAM Duo do not charge to either learn or arrange music. As professional musicians we can not only play anything but can notate our own arrangements of anything simply by listening to the music.
So even where there is no written copy of the music in publication anywhere, we can arrange it for your wedding day. And most importantly because, to us at least, this is very easy, we do not charge extra.
We had a great time at Emma and Ben’s wedding but all too soon it was time to take our leave and hand over to some other musicians for the drinks reception. As the sun was still shining we took the chance to get to our hotel a bit early and enjoy afternoon tea on the terrace before talking a walk to a local Gin Distillery! Who says there are no perks to being a wedding musician?!
We wish Emma and Ben every happiness as they emabark on their married life together.
