The Wedding
Josie and Adriano
Caswell House, Oxfordshire
Ceremony, Drinks and Meal
Thursday 24 April 2025
We love weddings at Caswell House which is just over the border into Oxfordshire and not far from our home in Wiltshire. Caswell House is always a welcoming venue for us and not only that it is very well laid out with everything relatively nearby – for musicians who move around between the ceremony, drinks and meal, this is always a bonus! Not only that it means we can offer our couples more music throughout the day.
We started in the beautiful ceremony barn to provide music for Josie and Adriano’s ceremony.

Music for the Drinks and Meal
After the ceremony we moved outside onto the lawn for the drinks reception where we continued to entertain the guests with a selection of contemporary covers arranged for piano and cello.
It was then a short relocation back into the barn for the wedding breakfast where we mixed the music up with a selection of contemporary songs and jazz piano which always suits the vibe for the meal.
We thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this beautiful wedding at Caswell House and we wish Josie and Adriano every happiness as they embark on their married future together.
