Medieval and Tudor weddings

Later on as things get more merry we can crank up the volume and provide an exciting Historical Ceilidh. Your guests will be able to join in some lively 16th century peasant dances and some courtly pavanes and galliards led by our excellent dance master Ricardo Barros. To make your event swing and recreate the atmosphere of a medieval court we can also provide percussionists, jugglers, fools, fire eaters, stilt walkers, masked walkabaout characters and story tellers.

Every ceremony is unique, we are able to accommodate any special requests for music or dances.

The procession into the church was brilliant, many of the congregation commented on the enchanted atmosphere you created ­ even the vicar remarked that it was one of the most beautiful and individual weddings he had been involved in. We would like to thank you for your wonderful and evocative playing, and for your advice and patience as we made our plans.”
