This Summer is going to be a busy one for weddings, and last Thursday was the first of the season, at Allerton Castle near York.
I was booked by David and Jeryll to play for their Wedding Ceremony and Drinks Reception. I was proud of myself getting the harp up eleven steps on my own to get into the castle. The Ceremony was in the first big room as you enter the castle.
The Bridal Party entered via this beautiful staircase:
The Playlist at Allerton Castle:
Entrance of the Bridesmaids: Prelude in C by Bach
Bridal Entrance: Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol
Signing of the Register: My Heart Will Go On from Titanic
Exit Music: A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes from Cinderella
Following on from the Ceremony, I moved the harp through to the conservatory area to play while guests were having drinks and canapés. I played my usual mix of classical, Disney, and music from films and TV. A few of the guests had never seen a harp close up before, so it was great to be able to show them the instrument and chat a bit about how it works.
