Bands, DJs & singers

 

Music is an essential ingredient to your wedding. Whether it’s a string trio playing you down the aisle, a folk band strumming in the background as your guests sip champagne and nibble canapes, or a five-piece rock band belting out floor-fillers in the evening, you should give plenty of thought to the soundtrack for your Big Day.

Couples are welcome to bring in any band or DJ they so desire, but we’ve listed a few of our favourites…
