The Bossard String Quartet ventured into West Sussex to play for Daniel and Samantha’s wedding at Goodwood House on Saturday. Read about what they played, and an extra special wedding quiz with the bride and groom before their wedding.
We braved the ice and slush to head over to Goodwood House for Daniel and Samantha’s wedding on Saturday. We’d been booked to play for the wedding ceremony and the drinks reception, and we couldn’t wait to get set up in the sumptious grade I listed house.
Ceremony Requests:
Processional : Desree Kissing You Signing of the Register : John Legend All Of Me and Ordinary People Recessional : Mendelssohn Wedding March
We then enjoyed playing throughout the drinks reception. It was a lovely wedding, and fortunately the couple avoided the predicament of having too much snow on the wedding day. By afternoon, it had all melted!
Here’s a little Q&A with Samantha from just before their wedding.
