Civil Ceremonies & Civil Partnerships Music While Your Guests Arrive We suggest light classical music, allowing up to 20 minutes (or you can have any other music you wish that the registrar permits). Arrival/ The Processional Make an entrance with your favourite music. Choose from our extensive repertoire or discuss the arranging of another piece of your choice. Listen to some samples of our music here. During the Signing of the Register and Official Photographs This usually takes about 8 minutes - time for 2 or 3 special pieces. Make an Exit/ The Recessional Music while the Couple depart and Guests follow to Drinks Reception. Drinks Reception Light and jazzy music to promote conversation and the mixing of your guests. We play wherever the guests are gathered. This may be inside, or outside on a terrace, lawn or in a marquee.... During your Wedding Breakfast We move through to the Wedding Breakfast Room before the guests are welcomed into it.  This means that your guests are not walking into a 'dead' space with no ambiance.We pride ourselves on providing just the right level and coverage of music so that all your guests can hear us equally with a choice of music appropriate to the setting. We usually play up to the speeches or the cutting of the cake but we are always happy to fit in with any alternative plans you may have. If you are considering having the speeches first it may be better to have us play from the end of these up to your evening function. In The Lull After The Speeches (an additional £150 per hour) This is often a time when the wedding function lacks direction and guests are unsure what to do or where to go. Often it can work well to use this time to mingle and chat with your guests while some music is played in the background. This may be the only relaxing time you have to do this as the drinks reception is largely taken up by the photographer. The Evening Function ( as a stand-alone booking £525 for 3 hours; as a add-on to an existing booking £440) A party with live background music which allows you and your guests to talk and mingle whilst enjoying a mixture of music. OR......If you don't want a disco and fear that a band might be too loud for your wishes we can offer an interesting alternative. By providing more "up-beat" accompaniment with backing tracks we can allow you and your gueasts to easily combine talking and dancing. The dance tracks could be played in 2 3/4 hr sets or interspersed throughout the evening very much on an "as the mood takes you" basis.
