Located on the enchanting banks of the River Coln, this former Cotswold coaching inn is the ultimate haven for a peaceful escape, an intimate wedding or a quiet business meeting.
The Wedding
Lara and Tom
Swan Hotel Bibury
Friday 15 December 2023
Ceremony Only Package
Returning again to the delightful venue of the Swan Hotel in Bibury, this time we were here to provide music for Lara and Tom’s ceremony. Arriving in good time we met Molly O’Hara who is the Swan’s fabulous wedding planner and always extremely helpful to us.
This time we set up at the rear of the ceremony room where we had plenty of space for our piano and cello without being in they way of the videographers and photographers who were jostling for position ready for the bridal entrance.
The Music
Pre Ceremony
Moon river
Tale as old as time
At last
Wildest dreams
I can’t help falling in love with you
Bridal Entrance
Blend of 2
Bridesmaids entrance – Taylor Swift ‘lover’
Bride entrance – Taylor Swift ‘timeless’ (chorus)
Signing
Better together – Jack Johnson
Accidentally in love – counting crows
Exit
Say a little prayer – Aretha Franklin
We particularly enjoyed blending together two Taylor Swift songs for the entrance of the bridal party.
There was a little drama before the ceremony involving the hair of a wedding guest becoming acquainted with one of the candles down the aisle. This lead to the fire alarms going off and all the windows being quickly opened. However, no one was hurt and everything proceeded without a hitch.
We really enjoyed being a part of Lara and Tom’s wedding. Unfortunately as we were only there for the ceremony on this occasion we didn’t get a chance to see them in person. As often happens the couple are whisked away for photographs after the ceremony.
Lara looked stunning in her beautiful wedding dress and Tom ever the gentleman in black tie. We wish them both every happiness as they embark on their married life together.
