The Berkeley Trio
We recognise the importance of every wedding and are always
delighted to be able to offer our services.
Our
repertoire contains music that is appropriate to be performed
before the service, during the entrance of the bride, while
the register is being signed and while the couple exit down
the aisle.
The
live music created by The Berkeley Trio lends a particular
intimacy to your service and certainly adds to the depth
of the occasion. The music of a string trio is less intrusive
than that of a string quartet, for example, and is perfectly
suited to the wedding service.
During
the reception, our style changes and we tend to perform
a selection of popular music and light jazz classics. The
music can provide a beautiful background to a reception
for up to 100 people. We often play during the entry of
the guests as well as during the meal
As
part of our service, we try to develop a programme that
suits your tastes and aspirations and are always pleased
to develop arrangements of additional material if you should
require this.
If
you are arranging a party for a wedding anniversary, we
can usually provide music of the appropriate period. Live
music always helps to develop a fun and lively atmosphere
for your guests and we recommend that you give it a try!
You
will always find our services affordable and sensitive to
your special occasion.
