On the 16th of July I was back at the beautiful Hall for Rhiannon and Jack’s wedding day.

The ceremony was held in the Nelson Suite and Rhiannon chose to walk down the aisle to Perfect by Ed Sheeran. The ceremony was beautiful and personal as their celebrant captured the essence of their relationship so perfectly!

Following the ceremony I then moved to the terrace to entertain during the drinks reception. It was one of the hottest days of the year so I’m thankful to have set up in a lovely shaded spot! The bonus of it being such hot weather is that the stunning views could be fully appreciated 😍

I also got a little emotional when I received such a beautiful thank you gift from the couple 🥹

A massive congratulations to a wonderful couple 🤍

WHAT A WEDDING! On the 15th of July I had the absolute joy playing for Temi and Moe’s incredible wedding day at the beautiful . The day started with the legal ceremony where I played the beautiful bride down the aisle to ‘Tale As Old As Time’ from Beauty and The Beast. After the ceremony finished the newlyweds walked out together to ‘Rule The World’ by Take That, it was a pleasure to learn this song for them and it was a perfect song choice for the couple! During my break as I was waiting to perform my next set I got to witness their beautiful Church blessing and amazing traditional ceremony which was full of colour, joy and dancing. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many beautiful and colourful outfits in one room!

I then entertained during the wedding breakfast as the guests sat down to enjoy their meal.

To top this amazing wedding off it was also filmed for a new show on ITVBe, ‘The Singles Table’ where I had my own little moment on the screen!

Massive Congratulations to a wonderful couple 🤍

The ceremony was full of beautiful moments lead perfectly by and the bride walked down the aisle to my acoustic rendition of ‘How Deep is Your Love’ by the Beegees

Following the ceremony the guests enjoyed the drinks reception outdoors as I entertained in the same spot in the shade of the trees with plenty of upbeat song choices and a few guest song requests (from Queen to Frozen!) 🎶
