Yes, yes, yes, you’ll definitely book a band or DJ for the evening, but you want something else, something elegant, something spectacular and spellbinding… You want some strings at your ceremony!

Alex Knight
When you think of classical guitar, you might not realise just how far back the repertoire can go. When you book a guitarist for your wedding day, you might like to look into Alex Knight as he not only strums classical tunes but also Spanish, Baroque and Romantic guitar, which will be perfect for special moments throughout the day. From walking down the aisle to providing a backdrop during reception drinks, Alex Knight can alter his versatile programme to suit your requests.
Harpist
Wonderfully romantic, a harpist is perfect to accompany any bride as they walk down the aisle. Providing an elegance and ambience not really achieved by other instruments, the harp is warmly received by guests and helps create the perfect atmosphere for your wedding. Although many prefer the acoustic sound of the harp, it can be amplified upon request, whilst our harpists like Liz are more than happy to work with the bride and groom to ensure that the day is personal and unforgettable.

Perfectly summing up the beauty of their act in the name, Elegance provide a combination of violin and piano that creates a graceful sound to accompany the newlyweds on their wedding day. Whether used as an accompaniment for the wedding ceremony itself or as background music, Elegance will ensure a harmonious soundtrack for this most special of occasions.
