HOTEL CIVIL WEDDING CEREMONIES (Click here for more )

With Civil Wedding Ceremonies becoming increasingly popular with wedding couples, the addition
of live music before and during the ceremony will help give your wedding service an extra dimension.
Tailor the music to be played to suit your personal taste by choosing your favourite songs to be played
as your guests await the arrival of the bride. We can help you decide upon music suitable for the bride's
arrival and the bride and groom's departure from the ceremony room as well as 2/3 pieces to be played
during the signing of the register. Religious music is not allowed to be played before or during the Civil
Ceremony but that leaves just about every other type of music to choose from. You may have specific
pieces of music in mind which are favourites or which have a special significance for you. The song
list featured on this site may help you decide upon suitable music. It's often possible to request music
which isn't listed, don't hesitate to call us with your suggestions.

 

CHAMPAGNE DRINKS RECEPTION

Following your wedding ceremony, your guests may congregate to celebrate with a glass of champagne
at your Drinks Reception. Having piano music played during this part of the celebrations is very popular and
helps set a congenial atmosphere as your guests chat away in the period leading up to the Wedding
Breakfast. In this informal setting, your guests might like to request their favourite songs to be played. On
average, the piano would be played for around an hour or so.

 

WEDDING BREAKFAST

The inclusion of background piano music during the Wedding Breakfast always creates a great atmosphere
among the wedding party. If you're having a receiving line, the piano playing will begin as your guests enter the
room and will continue throughout the meal and cutting of the cake until speeches. A wide variety of different
songs is usually played to suit the bride and groom and to satisfy the different tastes and age ranges present.
The piano would be played for around two hours throughout the meal until speeches.
