Set in Solihull, Hogarths Hotel has built a reputation over many years for thoughtful service and well-run wedding days. The venue has a warmth and intimacy that distinguishes it from larger, more impersonal hotel venues, the rooms feel genuinely personal, and the events team have the kind of experience that means everything runs to time. I know the venue and team well, and that relationship benefits every couple I play for there.
I cover weddings across West Midlands, including venues around Solihull.
I cover every part of the day at Hogarths Solihull. Here is how the music works across the different spaces.
The ceremony room at Hogarths Solihull has a classical feel and warm proportions that suit acoustic guitar beautifully. The scale of the room means one well-positioned speaker gives even coverage throughout, the sound is present and clear without ever feeling too close to any part of the audience.
The garden at Hogarths is a pleasant setting for drinks reception music in fine weather. I bring outdoor-rated equipment and set up to cover the full garden area so the music is enjoyable wherever your guests happen to be gathered.
The function suite at Hogarths has the comfort and proportion of a well-run hotel wedding space. I know how the room carries sound and position my speaker to give every table an even, comfortable level of background music throughout the wedding breakfast.
Most couples at Hogarths Solihull choose one of three options. I am happy to discuss a combination that suits your day.
I play while your guests arrive and take their seats. The ceremony includes your entrance, register signing and exit. I then move to the drinks area and continue through the reception. This is the most popular combination.
Ceremony musicThis works well if you want a recorded ceremony song. I begin at the drinks reception, so you can enjoy the live music with your guests.
Drinks receptionFull-day coverage starts when your guests arrive and continues through the wedding breakfast. We agree timings and transitions in advance, so every move is planned.
Wedding breakfastWhichever option you choose, I invite you to sit down with me beforehand. We can go through your song choices together. I am happy to learn songs outside my current set list. If a song does not suit guitar, I will say so honestly. We can then find an alternative.
Pricing depends on the parts of the day you would like covered. See the pricing page for the current packages and booking details.

Guests notice it, appreciate it, and comment on it, which is exactly what good background music should do. It is a venue where the combination works particularly well.
