Tasha and Allan: The Shropshire, Telford May 2026

The May Bank Holiday was full of weddings, not least Tasha and Allan’s beautiful celebration at The Shropshire in Muxton! We were delighted to provide a bespoke package for them, playing for the Ceremony, Drinks Reception and First Dance. We were very thrilled with Tasha’s musical tastes – she walked in to River Flows In You which never fails to set the scene perfectly and their First Dance was a gorgeous song that we didn’t know but we arranged for them, called Love Exists by Amy Lee who is the lead singer of Evanescence. We had a lovely, sunny time with them and wish them all the very best for their future together!

Tasha and Allan say:

“Absolutely amazing!! We are so grateful they played at our wedding.They played for our ceremony, reception and first dance violin and guitar. They arrived with power pack amps so that they could play outside where guests were socialising.

The composition of Amy Lee Love exists was beautiful. They played with vocals over the top which made our first dance perfect.

We highly recommend them!!
Thank you for being apart of our special wedding day.“

Zoe and Joe: St Peter's Church / Underhill Farm, Bewdley April 2026

Fantastic With Fizz had the absolute pleasure of playing at Zoe and Joe’s wedding in sunny Bewdley. We began at the beautiful St Peter’s church, and enjoyed the beautiful acoustic as we played for the guests as they arrived. Zoe looked beautiful as she walked down the aisle to Beautiful Crazy by Luke Coombs, and we then played Beauty and the Beast and I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You during the signing of the register, before a rousing Don’t Stop Me Now as everyone exited the church! The reception was at Underhill Farm, a short tractor ride away (yes, really!), where we set up in the barn and accompanied the guests as they enjoyed their meal. Zoe arrived to the reception on one of her horses, and all the guests had the most wonderful time in the sunshine! We really enjoyed ourselves, and it was really special to meet up with one of our former couples, Sian and Tom, as they were themselves guests at the wedding! We wish Zoe and Joe every happiness for their lives together.

Fiona and Ben: Rookery Hall, Nantwich April 2026

A return visit to Rookery Hall in Nantwich this weekend for the gorgeous wedding of Fiona and Ben!

Fiona’s dress was amazing, she looked so elegant and classy which matched really well with our Bridgerton vibe! Also lovely to see Poppy, one of our 2025 brides, who needs a promotion to “Agent” as so many of her friends have booked us!! We thoroughly enjoyed our day with them and send them tons of love for the future. Xxx

Fiona and Ben say:

“Sam and Andy at Fantastic with Fizz were absolutely incredible throughout our wedding at Rookery Hall. From start to finish, they created the perfect atmosphere and kept everything running seamlessly with fantastic live music and entertainment.

They were professional, friendly, and so easy to work with in the lead-up to the day, which made everything stress-free. On the day itself, they read the room perfectly and helped create such a warm, enjoyable atmosphere for all of our guests. We had so many compliments from family and friends about how brilliant they were.

They played such a huge part in making our wedding day so special and memorable. We honestly couldn’t have asked for better entertainment and would recommend them to anyone looking for talented musicians who know how to make an event unforgettable.

Thank you so much, Sam and Andy!

Laura and Tom: Bourton Hall, Warwickshire March 2026

We had a wonderful time violining and saxophoning at the beautiful wedding of Laura and Tom with a return visit to the stunning Bourton Hall in Rugby!
We were delighted to provide a set of heartfelt covers on strings during the drinks reception followed by an upbeat sax set during the wedding breakfast which was kickstarted by Jubel as the entrance song, followed by Rather Be!

We had such a great time with Laura and Tom and dish them all the best for the future!

“A massive thank you for playing at our wedding on Saturday. We felt that you really went above and beyond for us, and that you were very responsive on email before the big day.

You are both incredibly talented!“

Bourton Hall, Warwickshire

Nestled in the rolling countryside of Warwickshire, Bourton Hall offers a wedding experience steeped in elegance, exclusivity, and timeless charm. Having only hosted its first weddings around 2020, the venue promises a fresh yet refined approach to celebrations, all under the principle of exclusive use.

Beautiful spaces, indoors and out

Couples may choose to say their vows in the former Catholic chapel—its marble-panelled walls, gold leaf ceiling, and balcony lend a uniquely dramatic and cinematic character to the ceremony. For milder weather, the portico adjoining the terrace provides a graceful outdoor alternative, framed by the stately facade of the hall itself.

After the ceremony, guests drift into the banqueting hall where sweeping valley views, period features, and classic architecture set the stage for a reception to match. Following dining, the celebrations continue in the Draycote Bar & Disco—a stylish, modern space that bridges the historic with the contemporary.

What makes Bourton Hall especially magical is the way it weaves the natural and the architectural into the wedding day. Its 15 acres of manicured gardens, parkland and woodland provide countless spots for romantic photo moments, while guests might enjoy cocktails on the main terrace or even a relaxed game of croquet during the reception. Meanwhile, for winter weddings, the hall’s interiors—with their warm lighting, fireplaces, and ambient space—offer an inviting refuge from the elements.

Kate and Billy: Warwick House, Warwickshire December 2025

Last weekend saw us venturing to the beautiful Warwick House Hotel for the wonderful wedding of Kate and Billy. Kate entered, looking truly stunning to Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, before a heartfelt exchange of vows. During the register signing we played a violin cover of A Thousand Years before they exited to Married Life from Up! We then played a set for the Drinks Reception that was hand picked by Kate and went down really well. We thoroughly enjoyed being part of this beautiful wedding!

Billy says:

“Thank you so much for making our wedding day extra special, our guests couldn’t believe how incredibly talented and precise two people could be.

It was an honour to have you with us, through our own requests and making every moment incredibly magical with the sound of your art playing in the background.

Concerning Hobbits was a HUGE hit, with a few of us nerdy lot all giving each other the same “oh my god” look on our faces. The special request of Beautiful War by Kings of Leon for myself was incredible. It was better than I could have ever imagined.

Again, thank you so much. We could not have imagined anything better than Fantastic With Fizz to start the best day of our lives.“

A return visit to the stunning Bredenbury Court Barns for the beautiful wedding of Grace and James! What a wonderful day it was!

During the register signing, Grace had chosen 3 lovely songs, Beneath Your Beautiful, How Far I’ll Go and Chasing Cars before taking their first steps as man and wife to Aerosmith’s Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing. During the confetti shots we quickly decamped to the bar to play an upbeat set during the Drinks Reception. Grace and James’ friends were definitely up for a good time and we had everyone singing along with party classics like Dance the Night, Levitating and Pink Pony Club! We thoroughly enjoyed every single minute, especially the canapés! Thank you Grace and James for inviting Fantastic With Fizz to be part of your special day!

Becky and Shane: Bourton Hall, Warwickshire September 2025

What a fantastic day at the wedding of Becky and Shane at Bourton Hall in Warwickshire! The venue looked absolutely stunning, with its amazing grounds and the gorgeous entrance hall. We particularly liked the Disney- themed welcome signs. The wedding itself took place in the chapel, and we kept the theme going with an acoustic version of Happily Ever After to accompany the bride’s entrance. Becky was delighted we could play this for her, and it could not have been a more perfect choice. We entertained the guests with Pachelbel’s Canon in D during the signing of the register, then played the wedding party out with Married Life, from the movie Up!

We then moved into the Grand Entrance Hall and performed a varied set of songs for the guests as they enjoyed their drinks and had photographs. We tried to play as much Disney as possible, along with some popular music from the 60s to the present day. It was wonderful to watch people dancing and singing along as we played!

Becky and Shane couldn’t stop smiling all day, and we were delighted to be a part of a truly special and memorable wedding! We wish them every happiness!

Natalie and Ben: Abel's Harp, Shrewsbury August 2025

We had an amazing time at the fantastic wedding of Natalie and Ben at Abel’s Harp in Shrewsbury! This was such a picturesque setting on the top of the hill with the most incredible views over the English countryside, with llamas roaming the fields, watching the celebrations!

For the Guest Arrival we played some upbeat songs that Natalie requested, including the late 80’s hit Heaven Is A Place On Earth. Natalie entered, looking utterly exquisite to the Bridgerton version of Wrecking Ball followed by Still Into You and Until I Found You during the signing of the register. The exit song was Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen which set the mood for a fabulous drinks reception! We played lots of upbeat songs here with everything from Pink Pony Club to Can’t Take My Eyes Off You! There was truly something for everyone! We were looked after so well at this lovely wedding and very much appreciated a delicious pizza that they thoughtfully provided for us!

Sian and Tom: Crown and Sandy's, Omberdsley July 2025

We had the best time providing a Gold package for Sian and Tom’s beautiful wedding at Crown and Sandy’s in Omberdsley! It was the most amazing day, the ceremony speeches were so heartfelt and the dinner speeches were really funny, we had a delicious picnic provided and to top it all off we almost got matching tattoos! We played Can’t Help Falling In Love With You as Penny, a beautiful black lab made her entrance as the first of the Bridal Party! She was followed by the gorgeous bridesmaids dressed in forest green before Sian entered, looking absolutely stunning!

We then relocated to the garden for the drinks reception with an upbeat set using our battery power before playing for the Wedding Breakfast where Sian had selected our jukebox option.

Afterwards guests were treated to free tattoos which we had never seen before which was brilliant fun!

We had the best day and could feel the love in the room and know that Sian and Tom (and Penny!) are going to have the most wonderful, happy life together!

Sian and Tom say:

“Sam and Andy were just amazing, they were so easy to book with and communicated everything brilliantly.

Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how magnificent the music was, Sam and Andy really made the wedding feel so special, words can’t describe how beautiful the sound was, walking down the aisle was out of this world with them playing, it made the whole experience feel more personal and so full of love.

The juke box during the wedding breakfast was also amazing, as was the music outside during our drinks reception, people have continued to comment on how beautiful it was to sit and listen to.

Cannot recommend Fantastic With Fizz highly enough, I am so very glad that we booked them to be part of our special day, just wish we could do it all over again!!

So much love from Sian and Tom xxx”

What a weekend! A wedding in Cornwall on Saturday followed by one the other end of the country in Crewe on Sunday! Fantastic with Fizz were delighted to provide the music for Poppy and Joe’s wedding outside on the stunning lawn at Rookery Hall.
