Ceremony and Drinks Reception
It was a pleasure to return to Hawkstone Hall to provide music for Dean and Hannah’s wedding. Starting in the Ceremony Chapel we set up at the back of the space so we could play no fewer than four blended songs for the bridal entrance.

Drinks Reception
After the ceremony we relocated to provide music during the drinks reception where Jules also accompanied Hannah singing the Shania Twain hit ‘You’re Still the One’. This was a surprise for Dean and worked perfectly – the months of ‘secret’ WhatsApps with Hannah in the run up to the wedding all paid off and it was a very special moment
We really enjoyed being a part of this delightful wedding at Hawkstone Hall. We wish Dean and Hanah all the very best as they embark on their future journey as husband and wife.
