By JAM Duo – Cello and Piano Wedding Musicians
Set in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, Bourton Hall is every bit the fairytale venue. With sweeping views, ornate interiors, and its very own chapel on site, it’s the kind of place that feels special the moment you arrive. And for Chloe and Jamie, it provided the perfect setting for a day filled with love, laughter — and an incredible amount of live music!
Ceremony in the Chapel – Intimate and Personal
The ceremony took place in Bourton Hall’s beautiful on-site chapel, which offers a stunning blend of tradition and charm. For this part of the day, we performed using our Nord Stage Piano and electric cello, creating a contemporary yet deeply expressive sound that suited the space perfectly.
As guests arrived and took their seats, we set the tone with a warm, emotional pre-ceremony set:
🎶 What a Wonderful World – Louis Armstrong
🎶 Dreams – Fleetwood Mac
🎶 Somewhere Only We Know – Keane
🎶 Can’t Help Falling in Love – Elvis Presley
🎶 Everywhere – Fleetwood Mac
Chloe made her entrance to “Lover” by Taylor Swift, a perfect modern love song with heartfelt lyrics and a graceful melody that created such a magical moment as she walked down the aisle.
During the signing of the register, we played:
🎶 Daylight – Taylor Swift
🎶 Take My Hand – Matt Berry
And to round off the ceremony with a joyful vibe, the newlyweds exited to “Baby I’m Yours” by Arctic Monkeys — a brilliant choice that brought smiles all around.
Drinks Reception in the Grand Hall – A Little Glamour, A Lot of Fun
With the “I dos” complete, everyone headed back into the main house for drinks, where we set up in the grand hallway at Bourton Hall. This time, we used the venue’s gorgeous grand piano, paired with our cello, for a truly elegant sound that matched the setting.
Chloe and Jamie’s drinks reception playlist was eclectic, playful, and packed with personality — exactly the kind of brief we love!
🎶 Sweet Child O’ Mine – Guns N’ Roses
🎶 Pink Pony Club – Chappell Roan
🎶 Save Your Tears – The Weeknd
🎶 One Day Like This – Elbow
🎶 Perfect – Ed Sheeran
🎶 Dancing in the Moonlight – Toploader
🎶 Africa – Toto
🎶 All the Small Things – Blink 182
🎶 Jurassic Park Theme – John Williams
🎶 The Office Theme Song
🎶 Path of the Wind – My Neighbour Totoro
🎶 State of Grace – Taylor Swift
🎶 You’re Still the One – Shania Twain
🎶 You’ve Got the Love – The Source
There were plenty of moments where guests paused to listen, sang along, or simply soaked up the music with a drink in hand — which is always a sign we’re hitting the right notes.
Wedding Breakfast – Intimate and Atmospheric
For the final musical chapter of the day, we returned to our Nord piano and electric cello setup for the wedding breakfast. While there was no piano shell this time, the music spoke for itself — soft, cinematic, and curated to perfectly complement the speeches, stories, and celebrations that unfolded around the tables.
Highlights from the wedding breakfast included:
🎶 Birds of a Feather – Billie Eilish
🎶 Invisible String – Taylor Swift
🎶 Only Exception – Paramore
🎶 When You Were Young – The Killers
🎶 Until I Found You – Stephen Sanchez
🎶 The Shire Theme – Lord of the Rings
🎶 The Joker and the Queen – Ed Sheeran
🎶 Cornfield Chase – Hans Zimmer (Interstellar)
🎶 Love Story – Taylor Swift
🎶 Now We Are Free – Hans Zimmer (Gladiator)
🎶 Songbird – Fleetwood Mac
🎶 Accidentally in Love – Counting Crows (from Shrek)
From romantic Taylor Swift tracks to sweeping film scores and unexpected classics, the soundtrack for Chloe and Jamie’s wedding was as unique and heartfelt as their story.
We loved every moment of being part of Chloe and Jamie’s day at Bourton Hall.
A stunning venue, a brilliant couple, and a wonderfully personal music selection — it doesn’t get much better than that.
🎻 If you’re planning your wedding and want music that’s truly you, JAM Duo are here to bring your day to life with live cello and piano, from aisle walk to the final toast.
