Setup & Coverage

Where I play at Hogarths Stone Manor

I cover every part of the day at Hogarths Stone Manor, here is how the music works across the different spaces.

01
Ceremony

The Ceremony Room

The ceremony room at Stone Manor has high ceilings and panelled walls that give a lovely warmth to acoustic guitar. The proportions of the room work naturally with the instrument, notes fill the space evenly without the harshness that some larger rooms can produce. I set up to one side and the sound is clear and present throughout.

02
Drinks Reception

The Terrace & Grounds

The terrace and grounds at Stone Manor are a popular setting for drinks reception music in good weather. I bring outdoor-rated equipment and set up in the main gathering area, with speakers positioned to cover the terrace and any other areas where guests gather, including portrait locations.

03
Wedding Breakfast

The Function Suite

The wedding breakfast space at Stone Manor has the proportions and acoustic character that suit background music well. I position my speaker carefully to ensure even coverage across the room so every table benefits from the music throughout the meal.

Music Packages

What I can cover on your day

Most couples at Hogarths Stone Manor choose one of three options, but I am always happy to discuss combinations that suit your day best.

01

Ceremony & Drinks Reception

I play as your guests arrive and take their seats, through your entrance, the signing of the register, and your exit, then move to the drinks area and continue through your guests' celebrations. The most popular combination.

02

Drinks Reception & Wedding Breakfast

A great option if you want a specific recorded song for the ceremony. I take over from the drinks reception onwards, meaning you get to be present and enjoy the live music alongside your guests.

03

Ceremony, Drinks & Wedding Breakfast

Full day coverage, live acoustic guitar from the moment your guests arrive right through to the end of the wedding breakfast. I would discuss timings and transitions with you in advance so everything is planned and nothing left to chance.

Full day options

Whichever option you choose, I always invite you to come and sit down with me beforehand to go through your song choices. I am very happy to learn songs not already on my set list, and if anything doesn't translate well to guitar, I'll tell you honestly, and we will find something that does.

Why it works

Why acoustic guitar works at Hogarths Stone Manor

Stone Manor has a quality and refinement that suits live acoustic guitar naturally, it is music at a level that matches the setting. The ceremony room in particular is one of my favourite spaces at any Worcestershire venue: the combination of height, panelled walls, and warm light creates an acoustic environment that is genuinely beautiful to play in. The music complements the atmosphere of the house rather than filling a gap, which is exactly what good background music should do.
