We were very lucky on Saturday, despite horrible weather and thunderstorms in Brighton we drove across to Eastbourne to find clear-blue sky and sunshine. The beautiful venue of Gildredge Manor definitely made the most of this with their gorgeous ground and stylish gardens. The guests made the most of the sun standing outside with drinks before the ceremony began and listening to the sound of the violin and cello drifting out of the window of the ceremony room. As an old country house they didn't really have much decorating to but just highlighted the rugged beauty of the room with a small posy on the end of each aisle.
We played some upbeat pop covers while guests arrived in the ceremony room as the Bride had wanted the atmosphere to be happy and lively. We played the Bridal party down the aisle to a special song request, Mr Brightside by the Killers which sounded lovely on the violin and cello. They had four readings which were all taken form song lyrics which we thought was a wonderful idea and added a really special touch to the proceedings. During the signing of the register we played I'm Yours by Jason Mraz, Rather Be by Clean Bandit and All of Me by John Legend to the delight of the guests. We played the happy couple out to one of our favourites, Happy by Pharrell Williams. One of the guests said she 'didn't know you could play that kind of music on the violin and cello!'.
The couple had chosen a great selection of music for the drinks reception including 7 Years - Lukas Graham, Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol, Earned It - The Weekend, Kissing You from romeo and Julliet - Des'ree, Marry You - Bruno Mars, Royals - Lorde, Rude - MAGIC!
Grow Old With Me - Tom Odell, Hello - Adele, To Love Somebody - The Beegees, L.O.V.E. - Nat King Cole and Ho Hey - The Lumineers. We had some lovely comments from the guests and all in all it was a very enjoyable day.
Congratulations guys!
