Ceremony and Drinks Package
We were thrilled to be part of Beth and Josh’s stunning wedding at the ever-popular Hazel Gap Barn – a characterful red-brick venue set on the beautiful Welbeck Estate in Nottinghamshire. With its striking rustic charm and romantic atmosphere, Hazel Gap provided the perfect setting for a truly unforgettable day.
The ceremony took place in the venue’s magnificent oak-beamed barn – a space filled with warmth, candlelight, and love. As guests arrived and took their seats, JAM Duo set the tone with a carefully curated pre-ceremony playlist. From the emotive “I Giorni” by Ludovico Einaudi to a mix of contemporary favourites like “All the Small Things” (Blink 182), “Friday I’m in Love” (The Cure), and “Lovely” by Billie Eilish, the atmosphere was beautifully personal and relaxed. Just before Beth made her entrance, we performed “Sign of the Times” by Harry Styles, creating a gentle build-up to the big moment.
Beth’s entrance was nothing short of magical, walking down the aisle to a bespoke blend of Bryan Adams’ “Everything I Do” seamlessly woven into Pachelbel’s Canon in D – a unique arrangement created especially for the couple. During the signing of the register, we played “Take Over the World” by Courteeners and “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles, before closing the ceremony on a high with the Bridgerton-style version of “Give Me Everything” by Pitbull – a perfect upbeat exit that had guests smiling and clapping along.
Beth looked absolutely radiant in her wedding dress, and her bridesmaids in blush pink added a soft, romantic touch to the ceremony’s aesthetic.
Following the ceremony, we moved outside to the courtyard patio to provide the soundtrack for a relaxed and fun drinks reception in the summer sunshine. The guests enjoyed fizz and garden games while we performed a vibrant mix of classic and modern covers, keeping the vibe upbeat and engaging.

Every song was handpicked to reflect the couple’s style, creating a personalised soundtrack that kept the energy flowing from ceremony to celebration.
