“Where words fail, music speaks.”
— Hans Christian Andersen
Live music was always at the heart of our day. We knew we didn’t want a club-style wedding. Just a celebration woven with sound. From vibrant piano classics to New York bar–style jazz, and smooth, soulful Motown after dinner, we wanted every moment to carry its own melody. So we settled for only live music.
Pianist
Charlie M has toured widely across the UK and Europe, performing as a session pianist on BBC Radio 2, Radio 4, 6 Music and BBC London. As a soloist, he plays regularly at renowned venues including The Savoy, The Goring, The Park Lane, The Ivy and The National Theatre, with clients ranging from Goldman Sachs and Ferrari to Soho House and Toyota.
Black Tie Jazz - Trio
All graduates from prestigious conservatoires like the Royal Academy of Music and Guildhall School of Music and Drama. The ensemble regularly performs at Ronnie Scott’s.
