✓ Recommended wedding guitarist at this venue
Gorcott Hall is a Grade II listed Tudor manor house near Redditch, one of the most distinctive wedding venues in Worcestershire. Its history, its character, and the warmth of the family who own it make it very special.
Gorcott Hall dates back to the 15th century and has been in the same family for generations. The main hall, with its timber frame, original features, and centuries of character, is unlike any other ceremony space in Worcestershire. The gardens and grounds are beautiful in summer, and the intimacy of the venue, it is exclusively hired for weddings, means the day feels genuinely personal from start to finish. Playing at Gorcott Hall always feels like a privilege.

The ceremony in the Great Hall at Gorcott is one of the most atmospheric experiences I have as a wedding guitarist. The timber beams, the original stonework, and the centuries of history in the room give acoustic guitar a resonance and warmth that is impossible to replicate elsewhere.

Most couples at Gorcott Hall 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.
