Wyresdale Weddings Pianist – 11 Amazing Weddings!

by // // Comments off


As a recommended supplier at Wyresdale Park, I always love it when I get booked as a Wyresdale Weddings Pianist and in 2025 I was honoured to play 11 of my Weddings at this unique and beautiful venue. https://www.wyresdalepark.co.uk/wedding-venue

Wyresdale Weddings Pianist - 11 Amazing Weddings! 1

I can set up my portable white ‘Dutchgrand’ in any of the areas, allowing me to play for a wedding ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast, or even all three parts of the day. This venue always looks great, whatever the weather and you have the great option of the ceremony garden if the weather is on your side. I loved playing outside here many times last year, and Gemma from Bluebells & Daisies is always on hand to enhance your wedding with stunning flowers, alongside the fabulous The Striped Kitchen who provide delicious catering. Jaydi, Leah, Claire and the rest of the Wyresdale team are so welcoming and great at running an amazing wedding!


With all my bookings I include a FaceTime call to help you choose your ceremony music, have a chat and play examples for you to make sure your walk down the aisle is perfect.

All my pianist packages can be used at Wyresdale Weddings. You can see all my packages and prices here Prices

Wyresdale Weddings Pianist – Mia and Leon.

It was a pleasure to play for the lovely Mia and Leon on Tuesday 25th March 2025, all day at Wyresdale Weddings. Songs included ‘Amazed’ by Lonestar, ‘Tightrope’ from The Greatest Showman and the traditional wedding march exit. I loved the Country music theme at the wedding and the cake was amazing with the little cowboy boots! Both Mia and Leon looked absolutely gorgeous!!

Wyresdale Weddings Pianist – Amy and Matthew

Huge congratulations to Amy and Matthew who were married on the 30th October at the beautiful Wyresdale Weddings at Wyresdale Park. So much planning had gone into this amazing wedding and everything was perfect for this wonderful couple. Amy looked stunning as she walked in the aisle to my favourite mashup, Canon in D with ‘Can’t help falling in love.’ This one works so perfectly and it’s very adaptable to fit with any size of bridal party. It was a beautiful moment as Amy walked in to ‘Can’t help falling in love.’

I particularly loved that Matthew and Amy chose songs that had featured in both of their parents weddings to be played as they signed the marriage schedule – ‘Always’ by Atlantic Starr and ‘Lady in Red’ by Chris de Burgh
I played a selection of songs for everyone during the wedding breakfast.

Beeston Manor Pianist- Wedding Breakfast Music

I was pleased to play for Karah and Rob Beaumont, and provided piano music, and versions of songs that they loved, throughout their wedding breakfast.
I got a lovely review from Rob on Facebook saying

”Liz played beautifully at our wedding -absolutely wonderful music, all the guests loved it and she even learned a new song we wanted to be played when we walked into the room. 100% recommend.”

You can see my other Facebook reviews and posts all about my Weddings on my Facebook page here.

Here I am with Karah who looked absolutely beautiful on her wedding day at Beeston Manor.

The food at Beeston Manor is incredible and you can see photographs of the various dishes if you visit the Beeston Manor website. The food is all home-cooked, prepared by the venues in-house chefs who do an amazing job.

If you are considering a Beeston Manor Pianist at your wedding, you can choose from lots of different packages that I offer depending on which part of the day you would like music for.

You can see all the packages under my price list tab and you don’t need to worry about a piano as I bring my own Dutchgrand white baby grand piano to every wedding. This can be moved around the venue with no trouble at all, especially as Beeston Manor has a lift to get you to the upstairs wedding ceremony room. You can even have piano music outside in summer if the weather is dry. This adds a lovely ambience whilst you are having a celebratory drink after the ceremony has finished.

Event Pianist Review from Catherine Dobson, Event Planner

l asked Liz to play at an international grand opening for a corporate client of mine, and she was the perfect choice.

We had a ‘grand reveal’ for the evening dinner and Liz was playing at the curtain went up, which really added to the wow factor of the evening.

You could hear the intake of breath from the guests.

She played beautifully on her mini grand piano, just the right level to be the background for the evening.

The guests loved her, the directors loved her ano so did I.

Looking for class for your corporate event? Book Liz!

Here are some recent reviews for Wedding Pianist Liz Hendry from brides and grooms at North West weddings.

Mr and Mrs Parker were married at Ashfield House, Standish, Lancashire in April 2024

Liz played at our wedding for the ceremony, drink reception, and the wedding breakfast. Her music was breathtaking and she ensured all the pieces she played were to our liking. The communication that Liz offered was second to none! She was always available to answer any of our questions on the lead up to the wedding which made us feel at ease amongst the craziness of all the planning. But besides this, what Liz did for my husband and I put the cherry on top… She took two of our most favourite songs, which had no piano sheet music may I add, and created the most perfect mash up for me to walk down the aisle to. Her experience and skills shone through when we first heard the sample and we were totally amazed at what she was capable of. The moment I walked down the aisle was certainly one of the best memories. My husband and I truly felt that the music became the theme tune to the beginning of the rest of our lives together.

We cannot thank you enough Liz, you were amazing from start to finish and your music created such a great atmosphere throughout the day.

Wedding Pianist Reviews 83


Mr and Mrs Gregory were married at Barton Manor, Preston, in August 2024

We had the absolute pleasure of Liz playing at our wedding on Friday for our ceremony and drinks reception and all I can say is wow! we got our wedding video back last night and being able to watch it back and see all the bits we missed was amazing. Liz is so so talented and it was exactly the kind of atmosphere we were hoping for, all our guests loved it and it was a massive talking point of the day. Liz even took the time out of her day to come and see us and introduce herself which was a lovely touch.
Liz was so accommodating in our song choices and made the most incredible mash up of our two favourite songs that honestly have me in tears every time I hear it. I cannot recommend Liz enough, thank you so much!

Wedding Pianist Reviews 85

Jenny and Ryan were married at The Red Hall Hotel, Bury in July 2024

Liz played at our wedding at the Red Hall Hotel on 21.7.24, which was one of the best decisions I made for the wedding! From the music coming down the aisle to her playing at the wedding breakfast, it was just perfect. She was excellent in accommodating my requests, which included music from Lord of The Rings (which my husband is obsessed with) and her music created such a wonderful atmosphere. Would 10000% recommend Liz to anyone! Thank you so much 💕 xx

Wedding Pianist Reviews 87

Mr and Mrs Grove were married at Mitton Hall in August 2024

One of the best decisions we made when it came to planning our wedding was having Liz there to play through the ceremony and wedding breakfast.

From the initial video call right through to the end of our wedding breakfast she was amazing. Thank you for playing such a big part of our special day Liz 😀👍🏻

Wedding Pianist Reviews 89

Nickie and Dean were married at The Parrs Bank Hotel, Warrington

Liz was 1 of the best decisions I made for my wedding day (other than saying yes to my husband 😂) her music was just absolutely stunning and made my wedding day that even more special. My guests were so complimentary about her and the music selection.

Communication from the get go was brilliant, Liz is very professional and she is definitely worth the money. The memory of her playing the piano as I walked down the aisle will stay with me and Dean forever. Such a special day with amazing people, you will not be disappointed 🫶

Liverpool Wedding Pianist

When they were looking for a Liverpool Wedding Pianist, Joseph and Michael found Liz Hendry exhibiting in the State Dining Room at Knowsley Hall, as she is one of the recommended suppliers. https://knowsleyhallvenue.co.uk/
Massive congratulations to Joseph and Michael who were married in May at their very stylish Knowsley Hall wedding. They made their beautiful entrance together to ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’ and what an amazing exit song, – ‘Video Killed The Radio Star!’
What a wonderful couple to work for. They were so kind and such lovely people. Liz was thrilled and honoured that they chose her to provide their music.

Liverpool Wedding Pianist Review

Some kind words from Joseph and Michael

Why did you book Liz Hendry?

When we first met Liz, her kindness, professionalism, and amazing skill convinced us immediately that Liz would make our wedding day perfect. We heard Liz play at an open evening and straight away we started the booking process. Subsequently we met many couples and other suppliers who each recommended Liz – so we knew we made the right choice, but we definitely would have been contacting Liz then if we hadn’t had the pleasure of meeting her already.

What effect did Liz’s playing have on your wedding?

Our guests loved Liz’s work and we can’t recount the number of people who told us they enjoyed Liz’s music. Liz really perfected our day and lifted the atmosphere. Incredibly kindly, Liz was able to play something special for our exit music which wasn’t in her repertoire. There’s something extra special that Liz brings to her work – ontop of her brilliant music and skill, Liz’s warm smile and welcoming approach to her work helped us relax and really enjoy our day.

Would you recommend Liz to others?

Definitely! The real difficultly came from working with Liz to select the best music for our day! Liz has such a large and varied repertoire that we wanted to hear everything! With such a large, varied and fun repertoire you’ll be able to find many, many songs and pieces you can’t wait to hear.

Any additional comments

The booking, contract and deposit and payment process was great. We could keep and download copies of all information and receipts at any time. Liz took time to make sure we understood the booking process, answered all questions we had, and provided us with very clear and easy-to-use website and booking information.

Thank you Liz. We absolutely love the music provided and my only regret is not sitting down in the lounge and listening during the drinks reception to soak it all in. We have had so many compliments and I keep recommending you to friends who are engaged.

I received a lovely review on Facebook from Mrs Becky Hulme saying

”Liz played at our wedding at the Lancashire Manor in September. I can honestly say this was one of our favourite parts. From the start, Liz gets your personal input on the songs and can also help with suggestions on other songs to play throughout the service.
As she started to play my entry song the hairs stood up on the back of my neck, it was perfect.
All our guests commented how beautiful the music was and how personalised it was as they recognised our favourite songs (some rock songs made into beautiful ballads)
I would highly recommend Liz to anyone who wants the perfect personal touch to their wedding.”

Lancashire Manor 121

Another lovely review came from Mr and Mrs Gibson

“We couldn’t thank Liz enough. She played through our ceremony and wedding breakfast and she was absolutely perfect. She helped set such a wonderful atmosphere and I lost count of just how many people commented on the music being played. I would (and will be doing) highly recommend Liz to anyone who is looking at getting married in the future. Once again, thankyou Liz for helping our day be even better than we could have hoped for.”
Mr and Mrs Gibson

We loved celebrating with Shevaughn and Andrew who booked both of us (Mark and Liz) to play for them all day. We received this wonderful review from Shevaughn.

“Cannot thank Mark and Liz enough for the amazing job entertaining both us and all of our guests at our wedding this weekend!
Mark – beautiful music for our ceremony and great entertainment throughout the day. A special thank you for making our speeches a little bit different too.
Liz – perfect mood setting during the drinks reception and fantastic ensemble of Disney and musical theatre tunes at our request through our breakfast! We loved watching people recognising each one you played!
Just a massive thank you and highly recommended to anyone considering you for any special occasion!
Thank you, thank you, thank you xxx”

I’m proud to be a recommended supplier at this beautiful venue which is a stunning space to hold your wedding, with the added luxury of gorgeous accommodation within both the Manor House and the Oak Tree Cabins.

My white ‘dutchgrand’ is a lovely addition to this room which has a Bose sound system to help make a fabulous sound with the superb acoustics. It’s so nice to have a bespoke live instrumental piano version of your favourite song as you walk down the aisle.

The Wedding of The Whitesmiths at The Riverbarn

In summer 2023 I was honoured to play for Jason and Joe Whitesmith at The Riverbarn. I have known and worked with Jason for many years as he is the events manager at Knowsley Hall. Jason wanted to choose his favourite suppliers to use at his own wedding and I was pleased and proud to be able to play for him on this special moment in his life.
Jason and Joe wanted a mash up of two songs, one to represent each of them. And so I arranged a special entrance song especially for them, ‘Beauty and the Beast’ for Jason and ‘Smash into you’ by Beyoncé for Joe. I was able to use my musical proficiency to extend each part of the piece on the day, to fit in with the timing of each groom as they walked down the aisle, behind their own entourage of bridesmaids and special guests. I also played during the drinks reception, performing from my repertoire, with a mixture of songs of all styles.

A Review from The Whitesmiths after their wedding at The Riverbarn


Jason was kind enough to write me an amazing review saying

“This amazing Lady was always going to be part of our wedding day! From the moment I met Liz at Knowsley hall (where I work) and working alongside each other at numerous weddings and events she really is the best of the best! Myself and my new husband Joseph Smith can’t thank her enough for making our day the best day possible ❤️❤️ she even learnt Joseph’s aisle song (Beyoncé – Smash in to you) from scratch because she knew how much it meant to us. If you are looking for a Pianist please look no further! I am honoured to call this lady a friend she’s magical 🩷 you will forever be part of our special day and there are no words to thank you for making our wedding the best it possibly could be! Love you lots Liz 😘😘 all our love the whitesmiths ❤️❤️🏳️‍🌈”

Cheshire Wedding Pianist

by // // Comments off

Cheshire wedding pianist Liz Hendry was back at Sandhole Oakbarn to play on a beautiful sunny day for Joy and Ryan. The ceremony was in the amazing barn conducted by Cheshire East Registration service, or as they are widely known, Your Ceremony, with a gorgeous view of the Sandhole Lake in the background. https://yourceremony.org.uk/


Cheshire Wedding Pianist 135


Cheshire wedding pianist playing modern songs

Joy and Ryan were really keen to have modern music in their ceremony and Joy walked down the aisle to Liz’s version of ‘Symphony’ by Clean Bandit, which is a lovely choice and really unique. The exit song was ‘Clocks’ by Coldplay which is a great upbeat tune, full of energy for the Grand Exit. The piano at Sandhole Oakbarn is well looked after and in amazing condition so it’s always a pleasure to play it.

Outdoor drinks reception – Cheshire Wedding Pianist

Due to the amazing weather, everyone headed outside for photos during the drinks reception where Liz had set up her portable piano under the clock tower to play and entertain the guests during drinks and canapés from Top Table, who provided the catering for this lovely Cheshire wedding. Liz continued with modern covers of popular songs, everything from Oasis, Louis Capaldi with some film music, dance tunes, and indie and rock thrown in. Andy Griffiths was there taking pictures and family shots in front of the lake, and capturing all the fun in a natural way as it happened on the day.

“Liz played at our wedding September 2022. From the moment we met Liz and listened to her music at Mottram open day back in 2020 we knew she was perfect! We had to post pone our day to covid and Liz was able to move our day to the new date 😊 Liz is so down to earth and gave us lots of recommendations on songs and listened to our thoughts on what we liked. I had a call with her a couple of weeks before the big day and Liz played our walk down the aisle song and entrance song to make sure it was perfect. On our day she played absolutely beautifully. All of our guests commented on how lovely it was to listen to through the wedding breakfast.
Highly highly recommend!!! Liz you are amazing!!”

Colshaw Hall Pianist – 3 AMAZING recent weddings

by // // Comments off

It’s a pleasure to be a visiting Colshaw Hall Pianist. Here are 3 recent weddings there. It is a delight to work at such a stunning venue where there is a grand piano in the ceremony hall, and I can use my portable white baby grand to play in the main building for the drinks reception or wedding breakfast. https://www.colshawhall.com/

Colshaw Hall pianist- 3 recent weddings- Wedding 1

I had a wonderful time celebrating with Hannah and Tom at Colshaw Hall. I really enjoyed playing the Fleetwood Mac version of ‘Songbird’ for Hannah as she walked down the aisle, as well as some cool tunes for Tom including The Mandalorian Theme and The Super Mario Brothers Theme. I’m happy to learn one or two new songs for each bride and groom. I think it is important for the ceremony music to be a reflection of each couple!

It was great to see Harvey Films https://harveyfilms.com/ (thanks for the unexpected roadie help!!) and wonderful to work with Ian the toastmaster and Tracy from Colshaw Hall who are both really friendly, helpful and great fun.

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Johnson!

Wyresdale Park Weddings

Wyresdale Park weddings are held in a collection of beautiful rustic barns set in rolling countryside on the outskirts of Scorton, Lancashire. There is a lovely ceremony barn with amazing acoustics, perfect for couples who are looking at having live music in their wedding ceremony. My white piano looks fantastic in this room.

As well as in the ceremony room, the piano can be moved around throughout the day. It’s a lovely option to have a pianist throughout the wedding breakfast too which adds an ambience throughout the meal, without dominating too much, and allowing people to still chat. It also adds a talking point as many people naturally play ‘Name that tune.’
Here is the piano set up for a wedding breakfast. The beautiful flowers are provided by Bluebells and Daisies, who are based at Wyresdale Park Weddings.

“Highly Recommend. We met Liz at a wedding fair at Bartle Hall in May 2022. From the moment we heard her playing Bryan Adams as we walked into the venue we knew we wanted to speak to her and find out more. We knew that having Liz playing on our wedding day would be special and she was. Our wedding was 14/1/23 and everyone loved her and the different songs that were being played. Something for all ages. We can’t imagine what the day would have been like without Liz there.
Thank you Liz for making our day special.

Simply The Best – Bartle Hall Pianist

Myself and Tim cannot thank Liz enough for making our wedding day the day it was. It was the most easiest decision to make on hearing her play at the Bartle Hall open day back in April, as soon as we heard her we wanted her! We booked her there and then, had a lovely call with her to go over the song choices and she just got us and what we’re about. We wanted a song from the Lumineers for the brides entrance song. It wasn’t listed on her repertoire but Liz did it for us, absolutely loved it!!!

Such a talented Pianist and can literally play anything. She gave us goose pimples throughout the ceremony and all through dinner, everyone in the room loved her and commented. Thank you Liz for such a wonderful vibe at our wedding, you were definitely meant to be and so glad we saw you when we did. You’re amazing! Thank you! Claire and Tim xxx

Dream wedding at Bartle Hall

by // // Comments off

In July I played for an absolute dream wedding at Bartle Hall for Melissa and Paul. I was delighted to play outside for both their ceremony and drinks reception.

The whole day was just wonderful with all guests having an amazing time with this gorgeous couple! During the drinks reception there was a fabulous white bouncy castle for the kids to play on whilst the guests relaxed with drinks. This was from The Luxury Occasion Company https://m.facebook.com/luxuryoccasioncompany/

Here I am with Melissa and Paul who both looked amazing on the day. Melissa was kind enough to say

“Liz played at our wedding in July, liz was absolutely perfect. liz played for our outdoor ceremony which was just stunning and then kept the guests entertained until our wedding breakfast. From the moment I got in contact with Liz she was so helpful, from deciding what songs to have and recommending what worked well with our style of wedding – liz was so helpful. On the day liz played utterly beautiful and took her time to pull Paul and I aside to take the most amazing pictures of us and of the day so that we had them on our phone which we will treasure forever.
Thank you so much liz, you played a special part on our wedding day and we will highly recommend you to anyone.
we also had to postpone twice due to covid and liz couldn’t be more understanding, thank you 🤍”

Wow what an amazing wedding!!!! I‘m really pleased to be the recommended wedding pianist at Knowsley Hall. The beautiful Knowsley Hall was the setting where Roxanne and Chris said their vows and had a wonderful celebration. Roxanne looked stunning as you can see here! They had live music throughout their wedding day with the fantastic Violin 4 Weddings, Claire, playing gorgeous music for their ceremony, and I was so pleased to play for their drinks reception and throughout the meal. This day ran like clockwork with Jason leading the team at Knowsley Hall and it is such a pleasure for me to work here regularly. I love it!!
Congratulations to Roxanne and Chris 😍😍

She made an amazing entrance as I played an arrangement of ‘Save The World’ by Swedish House Mafia that I did especially for her. Megan, who is beautiful, would look fabulous in anything, but just look at that dress!!!!!!!!

I was thrilled to receive this lovely feedback after the wedding

“We were literally blown away the first time we heard Liz play the Piano at Knowsley Hall wedding open evening. We asked Liz to play some of our dance music favourites as a trial and we instantly felt the magic. We wanted to walk down the aisle to ‘Save the World’ by Swedish House Mafia and Liz provided us with a demo 🥰 it was perfect, romantic and so special so we booked straight away.

Liz playing at our wedding ceremony was pure magic. The music was beautiful, emotive, romantic and gives us goosebumps every time we listen back to the demos. We can’t wait to relive this in our ceremony video soon. Thank you for making it so perfect.

How professional was she?
So professional from start to finish, from the demos which gave us a taster of the repertoire we wanted and our EDM faves. To the clear communication throughout covid and needing to move our dates.
Would you recommend her to others?
Yes – we already have ❤️

We will be forever grateful for the unforgettable performance at our wedding ceremony and we are very lucky to have met you. Thank you so so much, love Meg & Ant xxx”

A Wonderful Wrightington Wedding

What a scorcher!!! A heavenly wedding day experience for Tracey and Wayne at their Wrightington Wedding at Wrightington Hotel & Health Club in July 2021.

Stunning bride Tracey at her Wrightington Wedding

This lovely couple had chosen a really interesting and fun mix of music from romance, to football, to military tunes. The highlight of the wedding was when Tracey walked in to ‘How long will I love you’ and I could hear the gasps as she looked ABSOLUTELY STUNNING in this amazing, stylish dress which I totally love!

This song by Ellie Goulding is a fantastic choice for a romantic wedding ceremony. Find out more about my top suggestions for wedding ceremonies by heading over to my wedding song list.

‘Liz I cannot thank you enough for your service yesterday. We had the most perfect day made even more special by your presence. You have been patient, helpful and a pleasure to work with through very tough times having to reorganise our wedding 3 times. You play beautifully and had me in tears playing ‘how long will I love you’ for my walk down the aisle. We will definitely be recommending you to everyone. Thanks again xx’

This venue is stunning inside and out with a beautiful Hall for the wedding daytime, and a large marquee for the evening reception, or to host bigger weddings. The service here is second to none with very attentive staff and wedding co-ordination.

When I provided Wedding Music at Inglewood Manor on Sunday 17th September for Samantha and Michelle, I had an amazing day. These two lovely brides had a great time celebrating with family and friends.

Review

I received this this wonderful email from Samantha and Michelle about their Wedding music at Inglewood Manor.

‘Hi Liz,

We just wanted to pop an email over to say thank you for providing such wonderful music on Sunday, our guests have all commented on how beautifully you played, it really helped make our day special! It was really lovely to meet you too, apologies we didn’t have much time to speak but hopefully the staff at Inglewood took good care of you, thanks again!

Kind regards

Samantha and Michelle

Wedding Music

The beautiful brides picked a great selection of wedding music from my repertoire and couple of new ones. Songs included Forever Young by Jay-Z, Half The World Away by Oasis and All of Me by John Legend.

Outdoor Piano Music

In my photographs, taken on the day you can see how beautiful the venue is and we were so lucky with the weather that I was able to set up outside on the lovely terrace for the drinks reception wedding music.

A Beautiful Cheshire Wedding for Mr and Mrs Harland

Last Sunday was a lovely crisp winter’s day for the wedding of Mr and Mrs Harland where I provided wedding music for their very special day at Cheshire wedding venue, Carden Park. My portable, white, baby grand piano really suited the surroundings in the shooting suite, with the rooms dressed beautifully by Angela and the team from Chicks On Wheels  There was a luxurious winter theme and everything sparkled as if dusted by snow!

Scott and Becky thought carefully about their wedding music and wanted music that was special to them on their big day. Becky was an absolutely stunning bride and looked breathtaking as she walked down the aisle to ‘Amazed’ by Lonestar. It is so lovely to play something unique that I have arranged,  at the request of each bride and groom. This makes their wedding like no other, and so memorable and special to all family members and guests. Other song choices included ‘I Won’t Give Up’ by Jason Mraz and ‘How Long Will I Love You’ by Ellie Goulding, followed by my arrangement of ‘Greatest Day’ by Take That for the ‘Grand Exit.’

For the wedding breakfast I played ‘When Love Takes Over’ as Mr and Mrs Harland were announced into the room as all their guests applauded.

For the rest of the wedding music I played a lovely selection, everything from Christmas classics, to Disney, to recent chart hits and love songs.

The day was documented for Becky and Scott by Mike Roberts Films and Steve Hale Photography and I’m looking forward to seeing the results which I’m sure will be stunning.

‘Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Harland and I wish you a lifetime of happiness.’

Wedding songs for a Beautiful Manchester Bride

by // // Comments off

Saturday was a very exciting day for me as I love to visit new venues. The Macdonald Hotel and Spa, Manchester was the setting for the wedding of Jade and Rupert Butcher who said their vows here, in the presence of all their friends and family,  a very special little bridesmaid- their lovely daughter Phoebe.  Here I was to play the wedding songs for one of the most special moments of their life!

I arrived at the venue to find Michelle from Bow So Sweet dressing the room with a beautiful, white, wintery theme that you can see on my photographs. The room was divided off for the ceremony to be later opened up into a larger space for the wedding breakfast.

Wedding songs – The Couple’s Choice

The couple opted for ‘Heaven’ by Bryan Adams/DJ Sammy for Jade to walk down the aisle. (This is one of my favourite wedding pieces and there is a video at the bottom of the blog showing my performance of this for another wedding at Peckforton Castle.) Jade later told me how, as she heard the music being played, she struggled to hold back the tears as she set off down the aisle towards Rupert.

The couple opted for light hearted, upbeat choices for signing the register, and danced their way out of the ceremony to Steve Wonder singing ‘Signed Sealed Delivered’ with their guests following to celebrate.

The drinks reception was held in the hotel bar and then it was back upstairs for the wedding breakfast, with the couple entering the room to my rendition of ‘You’ve Got A Friend In Me.’

The couple were obviously enjoying catching up with all their guests during the meal and in between courses they tried to speak everyone, going around the room for a chat whilst I provided background music throughout. It was a lovely atmosphere and a great time was had by all.

Whilst there I met a lovely couple – Photoluminaire who were documenting the day with Photography, and also the boys from Starkfilm Weddings who were filming all the special moments.

Congratulations to Jade and Rupert and I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Liz Hendry Ashfield House Wedding Pianist

“I first heard Liz play at an open evening at Ashfield House as soon as I heard her play she sent shivers down my spine! I knew there and then that I wanted her to play at my wedding as I knew that she would make is special and memorable and definitely give it the wow factor. Liz provided the perfect backdrop to our special day as she plays so beautifully and provides a wide range of music. All my guests commented how wonderful she was and there wasn’t a dry eye as I walked down to her playing.”

Why did you book Liz Hendry, Ashfield House Wedding Pianist?

“Because I heard her play at Ashfield House and she made me shiver and emotional with how beautiful she played, I just thought wow she is amazing! When I went to talk to her to ask about hiring her etc she was so professional and such a lovely person. I would highly recommend Liz to anyone getting married if they too want the wow factor she is truly blessed with an amazing talent.”
