Our first Civil Partnership booking!

Congratulations to Alan and Neil who held their civil partnership at the Old Council House in Bristol.

The couple had chosen a number of special requests for the ceremony, including ‘Sway’, and ‘La Cumparsita’. It was a moving moment when Alan phoned his mum so that she could listen to the vows despite being too ill to attend, and a Spanish friend dedicated a translation of the vows to the happy couple.

Afterwards we played for our first water-based drinks reception! The couple had booked us to play during their river cruise to the reception venue, and we had so much fun playing guests’ requests. We had also prepared Quartet accompaniments for ‘Old Man River’ and ‘Some Enchanted Evening’ which were sung beautifully by a friend of the couple – to rapturous applause from everyone on board!
