As a preferred supplier at this venue, it was great to return to play for another wedding at Hazlewood Castle Woodland Venue. You can read about my previous wedding at Hazlewood Castle on this blog post.
Last weekend I played for the wedding of Jacqui and John at the Woodland Venue of Hazlewood Castle. As a harpist, when I hear the words ‘Woodland Venue’ I immediately begin to think about where and if I can park, and whether or not there will be shelter for the harp. When I’ve played at Hazlewood Castle before it has always been in the main building, so this was going to be new to me. This is where the Wedding Ceremony took place:
I eventually found the right place to park with the help of a lovely member of staff called Joanne. I also discovered that there is a covered dance floor as part of the Woodland Venue – the perfect place to set up the harp ready to serenade the guests during the Drinks Reception.
The weather lately has been more unsettled and I was concerned that it might rain, however it did stay dry during the afternoon and it was nice and mild too. Overcast conditions are actually great for wedding photos, so there’s always a silver lining if it isn’t blazing sunshine on your wedding day.
As I was playing background music at this wedding, I used it as an opportunity to play through the songs that have been requested for upcoming weddings. Requests included:
- She’s the one – Robbie Williams
- Shut up and dance – Walk the Moon
- Pure Imagination from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
- Zelda’s Lullaby
- Ballad of the Goddess from Zelda
