For Hannah and Ben’s wedding we returned to the delightful setting of Holbrook Manor in Somerset. Not too far from our home in the Cotswolds, we always enjoy being part of weddings at Holbrook Manor and today was no exception.
The Wedding
Hannah and Ben
Holbrook Manor, Somerset

Ceremony, Drinks and Meal
The Ceremony
We started in a small room off the main hallway for the ceremony which was a lovely intimate affair. Setting up at the back there was sufficient room for our Grand Piano Shell which we used throughout the day.
Music for the Ceremony
Pre Ceremony
The Lion King – I Just Can’t Wait To Be King
Hedwig Theme – Harry Potter
All About You (McFly) – Cello & Piano
Hey Soul Sister – Train
Dear Theodosia (from Hamilton)
Bridal Entrance
Man of Honour, Mum of Bride & Bridesmaid:
Canon in D (Brooklyn Duo)
Then blend for bride entrance: Can’t Help Falling in Love – Elvis Presley
Signing
1st. I’ll Be There for You – Friends Theme (Rembrandts)
2nd. I See The Light (Disney – Tangled)
Exit
Starlight – Muse
We always love a blend of two or more songs for a ceremony as this really enhances the bridal entrance and, we hope, makes the moment of the brides arrival even more poignant and special.
The Drinks Reception and Meal
After the ceremony we quickly relocated for the drinks reception whilst the guests were engaged in the confetti photo. Setting up in the hallway this also meant we were well placed to move again into the meal room. Generally moving around is a little easier with our piano shell, albeit that it takes longer to initially build and setup.
Some of the music we included in our set for the drinks reception included:
Believe (Cher)
Hedwig Theme – Harry Potter
The Lion King – I Just Can’t Wait To Be King
The Luckiest – Ben Folds
Let it Be – Beatles
Dear Theodosia (from Hamilton)
We then continued to provide music through the wedding meal. It was a really nice day and we throughly enjoyed being a part of Hannah and Ben’s wedding. We wish them all the best for their married future together.
