Live Wedding Guitar at Crumplebury

A striking contemporary farm venue near Whitbourne, Worcestershire.

Crumplebury · WORCESTERSHIRE

Live acoustic guitar at Crumplebury

Crumplebury is one of the most distinctive wedding venues in Worcestershire, a beautifully converted farm with a contemporary design sensibility that sets it apart from the county's more traditional country houses and barns.

Set in rolling countryside near Whitbourne, Crumplebury combines exposed timbers and original farm character with clean modern architecture and exceptional attention to detail. The barn spaces are beautifully proportioned and acoustically excellent, a venue where everything has been thought about, including how it sounds. I have played there on several occasions and always enjoy how the building's architecture enhances the music rather than fighting it.

Setup & Coverage

Where I play at Crumplebury

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

01
Ceremony

The Barn

The ceremony barn at Crumplebury has clean lines and warm acoustics that suit fingerstyle guitar beautifully. The proportions of the space mean one well-placed speaker is usually sufficient to fill the room evenly, the sound is clear and present without ever feeling too close.

02
Drinks Reception

The Terrace & Grounds

Crumplebury's outdoor terrace and grounds are a beautiful setting for drinks reception music when the weather allows. I bring outdoor-rated equipment and set up in the gathering area so the music reaches wherever your guests are, including any spots the photographer takes you to.

03
Wedding Breakfast

The Barn

The barn transitions naturally from ceremony to wedding breakfast. I know the acoustic characteristics of the space in different configurations and always position my speaker to ensure every table has a comfortable, even level of background music throughout the meal.

Music Packages

What I can cover on your day

Most couples at Crumplebury 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.

Ceremony music
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.

Drinks reception
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 Crumplebury

Crumplebury's architecture does something unusual, it makes both the space and the sound feel considered. The clean lines and quality of the build mean there are no awkward reflections or dead spots. Acoustic guitar sits naturally in the room: warm, present, and easy on the ear. For couples who have chosen a venue that stands out visually, live acoustic guitar is a natural complement, something real and human to match the quality of everything around it.
