If you are looking for Music for Your Wedding Day in France…

Allow me to introduce myself – I am an English-speaking, classically trained solo ‘cellist providing bespoke entertainment for wedding ceremonies, receptions and special events across Haute-Vienne (Limousin), North Dordogne (Perigord Vert) & Charente.

Here are my suggestions for a beautiful and timeless entrance that’s just a little bit different… Continue reading →

With the 2015 Destination Wedding Season drawing to a close, it is time to reflect upon the trends of this year, and ponder on the year to come.
