Wedding breakfast music

We hired Bethany to play cello during our wedding breakfast on the 27th June at Newstead Abbey. We wanted to create a bridgerton feel to our meal and having the cello playing in the background did just that. Thankyou

Beautiful and moving

If you are looking for a professional musician to play during your ceremony I can’t rate Bethany highly enough!

Such a professional, her music will bring a tear to the eye of all your guests. Her repertoire is extensive with something to suit all tastes. The sound of the cello and piano together made for such a moving and emotional experience and created a real atmosphere.

Thank you so much for being part of our special day x
