Wedding Musicians | North & Scotland
As professional wedding musicians there is nothing more exciting than jumping in the car to head north for a wedding! We love to travel, and we love the warmth and welcome we get whenever we head up north. Whether to one of the great cities or a beautiful rural setting, we really enjoy bringing a touch of Fizz to any wedding or celebration.

Steph and Liam: The Ashes Barns, Leek October 2026
Autumn weddings don’t get much more spectacular than this!
WOW! What an utterly stunning day celebrating Steph & Liam at The Ashes Barn in Leek!
Autumn was showing off in all its glory, the atmosphere was electric, and Steph had chosen a soundtrack that was anything but predictable!
Forget the clichés — Steph made her entrance to the epic Test Drive from How to Train Your Dragon, commanding the room from the very first note!
For the signing of the register, we played The Only Exception by Paramore, before sending the newlyweds off in style with Fly Love by Jamie Foxx — a piece we specially arranged for the occasion, complete with gorgeous Brazilian guitar licks that were right up Andy’s street!
From the incredible atmosphere to the beautiful attention to detail, this was one of those weddings that will stay with us for a very long time.
Steph & Liam, you absolutely smashed it! Congratulations, you did yourselves proud. WHAT A DAY!

Yasmin and Kelby: Skitby House, Carlisle September 2026
Some weddings feel like they’ve been written into a fairytale…
High school sweethearts Yasmin & Kelby celebrated their beautiful wedding at Skitby House, Carlisle, with our Silver Package, providing the soundtrack to their ceremony and drinks reception .
From Yasmin’s fairytale bridal gown to their adorable sons making quite the entrance in their own ride-on electric car — with their gorgeous dog Marge also part of the celebrations — there were so many personal touches.
But one moment was particularly special. Their wedding fell on what would have been Yasmin’s granny’s 100th birthday, so in a beautiful tribute, we played her favourite song, Have I Told You Lately That I Love You for their Aisle Song.
Their ceremony soundtrack included It Must Be Love, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You and The Climb, before they made their newlywed exit to Smash Mouth’s I’m a Believer.
A ceremony full of family, memories, personality and so much love. Congratulations, Yasmin & Kelby! We loved being part of your day! (And your Uncle makes the best sandwiches!!!)

Izzy and Jack: Irnham Hall, Lincolnshire August 2026
There simply aren’t enough superlatives to describe the sheer beauty of Izzy and Jack’s incredible wedding at the breathtaking Irnham Hall in Lincolnshire! If you’re searching for the perfect wedding venue, you can stop looking now… you’ve found it!
From the moment you arrive, Irnham Hall is nothing short of magical. The stunning grounds, elegant surroundings and timeless charm make it an unforgettable setting for a wedding. Every corner is picture-perfect, creating the most romantic backdrop for such a special day.
The Hall is lovingly owned by the wonderful Sir Jamie and Lady Leila Benton-Jones, who are the most incredible hosts. They are genuinely hands-on throughout the day, overseeing every detail with such care and warmth to ensure everything runs flawlessly. Sir Jamie even serves the wedding breakfast himself – a personal touch that perfectly reflects the exceptional hospitality you’ll experience at Irnham Hall.
We were absolutely privileged to provide our full-day music package, beginning with the beautiful outdoor ceremony on the lawn. We welcomed guests with a Bridgerton-inspired set before playing the bridesmaids down the aisle to Canon in D. Izzy had asked for a slowed-down acoustic version of Accidentally in Love for her entrance, and it was simply magical. As she appeared, looking utterly breathtaking, there wasn’t a dry eye in sight.
During the signing of the register, we played Crazier—one of our absolute favourites—followed by a very special request! Jack is a huge Arsenal fan, and after the success of our football club arrangements, Izzy asked us to learn an acoustic version of The Angel (North London Forever). It worked brilliantly… although Spurs fans may have a different opinion!
We played the happy couple back up the aisle to Everywhere before heading to the terrace for our upbeat violin and saxophone set, which created the perfect atmosphere for drinks and celebrations in the sunshine.
Then it was inside for the wedding breakfast. Izzy had custom-built her dinner playlist using the set list form on our website, and it was such a joy to perform. Before long, everyone was on their feet, dancing, singing and having the most amazing time!
What an unforgettable day at one of the most spectacular venues we’ve ever had the pleasure of performing at. Thank you so much, Izzy and Jack, for trusting us to be part of your beautiful wedding. It was an absolute honour, and it’s a day we’ll treasure for a very long time.

Lizzie and Billy: Colshaw Hall, Knutsford March 2026
We wake up every day and thank our lucky stars that we have such a great job! Look at this amazing wedding of Lizzie and Billy at Colshaw Hall in Knutsford that we played for a couple of days ago!! The attention to detail was astonishing, Lizzie looked like a fairytale princess with the flowers by Tilly’s of Dagenham which were superb! Everything was so stylish from the cars to the bridesmaids, elegantly attired in black. We played a selection of songs for guest arrival, the only brief was no Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran! We played a gorgeous rendition of Now We are Free by Hans Zimmer for the register signing. We then handed over to @harmonyweddingduo who sang beautifully during the Drinks Reception before providing a lovely atmospheric Bridgerton set for the Wedding Breakfast which suited the classy vibe of this gorgeous wedding! We wish Lizzie and Billy all the very best for their future together and were honoured to be part of their special day!

Celine & Jack: Carlton Hotel, Prestwick November 2025
Another wonderful wedding weekend saw us venturing up to Scotland for Celine and Jack! Twinkly lights and Christmas decorations set the vibe for the day along with some really different music choices that worked brilliantly! Andy’s special guitar has so many sounds and he was excited to show them off for the Groom’s entrance to ACDC’s Hell’s Bells followed by Celine’s aisle song, Creep by Radiohead. During the register signing we rocked out to Iris and calmed things down with Unchained Melody, a classic! The exit song was Bruno Mars’ Marry You which always works brilliantly. We quickly moved rooms to set up to play an upbeat set for the Drinks Reception and had a blast, all the guests were singing along and extremely appreciative which was lovely! We then decamped to the Wedding breakfast and performed some classic Bridgerton songs. We had such a great time at this lovely wedding and wish Celine and Jack all the best for the future!
