When history, romance and sunshine all come together in one day, you know it’s going to be something special — and Anthony and Alejandra’s wedding at Crewe Hall was exactly that. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of one of Cheshire’s most iconic venues, this was a celebration full of emotion, personal touches, and live music from start to finish.
A Grand Venue with Timeless Charm
Crewe Hall is a spectacular Jacobean mansion surrounded by formal gardens, ancient woodland and sweeping lawns. With its ornate interiors, grand staircases, and historic chapel tucked away within the estate, it’s a venue steeped in drama and elegance — a perfect match for a couple looking to make a statement with their day.
We were delighted to be part of this unforgettable wedding, providing music throughout for the ceremony, drinks reception, and beyond.
Ceremony in the Chapel – Music from the Gallery
The ceremony took place in Crewe Hall’s chapel, an atmospheric and sacred space adorned with stained glass and carved woodwork. For this special setting, we set up in the gallery above the chapel, allowing the music to drift beautifully down over the guests — a unique and moving experience that created a sense of intimacy and grandeur all at once.
As guests arrived and settled into the pews, we performed a bespoke pre-ceremony set featuring:
🎶 Golden Hour – JVKE
🎶 Jerusalem – Hubert Parry
🎶 At Last – Etta James
🎶 Marry You – Bruno Mars
🎶 I’m Yours – Jason Mraz
For the bridal procession, the children and bridesmaids entered to the timeless Canon in D by Pachelbel — a classic choice that never fails to stir emotion. Then, in a beautifully cinematic moment, Alejandra entered to “Young and Beautiful” by Lana Del Rey, with the key lyric “Dear Lord, when I get to heaven…” sung out at exactly 2:28 as requested. It was hauntingly perfect — a powerful and deeply personal moment.
During the sand ceremony, we performed “A Thousand Years”, underscoring the unity with gentle, heartfelt tones.
The signing of the register brought a lighter touch with:
🎶 One Less Lonely Girl – Justin Bieber
🎶 Die With a Smile – Bruno Mars & Lady Gaga
And to close the ceremony on a high note, Anthony and Alejandra walked out to “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” by KISS— bold, fun, and unmistakably them.
Afternoon Tea on the Terrace – Sun, Strings & Celebration
Following the ceremony, we relocated outside to Crewe Hall’s elegant terrace, overlooking the manicured hotel gardens. Here, guests were treated to an outdoor afternoon tea, with sunshine, champagne, and a soundtrack provided by us from our gloss black grand piano shell and electric cello setup.
This was no ordinary playlist. Anthony and Alejandra’s music choices reflected their personalities and tastes — a joyful fusion of contemporary pop, soft rock, Disney themes, movie moments, and K-pop favourites. We included:
🎶 Dancing in the Moonlight – Toploader
🎶 Still With You – Jungkook
🎶 Dynamite – BTS
🎶 Pink Pony Club – Chappell Roan
🎶 As Long As You Love Me – Justin Bieber
🎶 JUNO – Sabrina Carpenter
🎶 The Climb – Miley Cyrus
🎶 A Thousand Years – Christina Perri
🎶 Love on the Brain – Rihanna (minus Beyoncé, as requested!)
🎶 Viva La Vida & Paradise – Coldplay
🎶 If I Ain’t Got You – Alicia Keys
🎶 Moves Like Jagger – Maroon 5
🎶 Let It Go & You’ve Got a Friend in Me – Disney favourites
🎶 Tones and I, Luke Combs, The Eagles, Doobie Brothers, Teddy Swims — adding in upbeat classics and modern rock with cello-and-piano twist
It was a brilliant set to perform — fun, meaningful, and totally unique to the couple. Guests smiled, swayed, and sang along, all under a golden afternoon sun.
A Celebration to Remember
From the soaring notes in the chapel to the soulful sunshine vibes on the terrace, Anthony and Alejandra’s wedding was everything we love about what we do. Full of heart, personality, and musical moments that truly reflected the couple, it was a pleasure and a privilege to be part of it.
