Rebecca & Ian’s Beautiful Wedding at Hedsor House

It was a real pleasure to be back at Hedsor House for Rebecca and Ian’s beautiful wedding celebration.

Hedsor House is a truly stunning venue, and at Christmas it feels even more special. With its elegant interiors, grand ballroom and luxurious atmosphere, it was the perfect setting for an evening of live swing and big band music.

A Perfect Setting for Live Swing Music

There are some venues that naturally suit our style, and Hedsor House is definitely one of them.

The ballroom provided the ideal backdrop for The Mini Big Band, combining timeless elegance with just the right sense of occasion. It’s exactly the kind of room where vintage swing, sharp suits and a lively dance floor feel right at home.

Hannah Bradshaw – Combermere Abbey

Literally cannot recommend this band enough! They were absolutely brilliant at our wedding (the videos don’t do them justice!) and the range of songs was fab! So many guests at our wedding commented about how good they were and everyone was on the dancefloor, irrespective of how much they thought they liked Big Band music. From an admin point of view, Chris was really helpful and responsive and it was a really easy process. I would 100% recommend anyone else to book them for any event you are planning

What a venue.

We had the pleasure of performing at Peterborough Cathedral for Rhys and Olivia’s stunning wedding celebration, and it was one of those settings that immediately makes an impression.

Hi Chris,

I just wanted to send a quick message to say a huge thank you to you and the guys. We got a huge amount of compliments about how good the band were! I was probably more of a appreciative listener than dancer most of the evening but it sounded huge!

Thank you so much,

Dave

Chris and Rhiannon

Hi Chris! 

As you can imagine, today has been a day of rest😂 but I wanted to email you before the day was out.

We just wanted to say thank you so much for yesterday. As you know, we booked you before we even knew the date or the venue. I wasn’t even sure we’d be able to find anything like a big band for the wedding and it was actually Rhiannon that managed to find you on a Google search. I’m so very glad she did.

Whilst the videos you post are incredible, they still don’t do you all enough justice for how fantastic it is to be able to hear you in person. The sound of just 10 musicians is immense! It was great to be able to have our first dance played you guys, even if we ourselves wobbled through it a little bit!

You were all the highlight of our day (apart from the ceremony of course 😉) and I’m sure you were for many of our other guests. I can’t think of any better way of rounding off an already perfect day. Please pass on our thanks to all of your team.

I think we might have to keep an eye on when you’re playing in the Italian in Leeds to be able to see you at a more public function. 

Thank you so much again,

Chris (and Rhiannon)

From the first few numbers it was clear this was going to be a lively one, and the energy carried right through the night.
