A striking contemporary farm venue near Whitbourne, Worcestershire.
✓ Recommended wedding guitarist at this venue
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.

I cover every part of the day at Crumplebury. Here is how the music works across the different spaces.
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.
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.
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.
Most couples at Crumplebury 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.
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.
