Premiere String Trio Performs at Wadhurst Castle Wedding
Premiere String Trio had the pleasure of performing at the beautiful Wadhurst Castle for Alex and Tom’s wedding — a stunning venue set in the East Sussex countryside, with far-reaching views across the Weald.
The ceremony took place outdoors in the castle grounds, offering a natural and elegant setting for the couple’s vows. For the bridal entrance, the couple chose Still Into You by Paramore — a modern and meaningful alternative to more traditional processional music. Played on strings, this upbeat pop-punk love song took on a fresh, lyrical quality that was both personal and memorable. The couple then made their exit to Mendelssohn’s Wedding March, a timeless classic that added a sense of celebration and grandeur to the close of the ceremony.
Modern Pop String Covers for the Drinks Reception
Following the ceremony, guests moved to the Orangery for the drinks reception. Here, the mood shifted to a more relaxed and festive atmosphere — perfect for our curated setlist of contemporary pop arrangements.
Some of the highlights included:
-
Dreams – Fleetwood Mac
-
I Gotta Feeling – Black Eyed Peas
-
Young and Beautiful – Lana Del Rey
These songs are popular choices for drinks receptions, offering recognisable melodies that translate beautifully on strings. The mix of upbeat and atmospheric tunes helped maintain energy while still allowing for conversation and mingling.
Using modern pop songs arranged for string trio is a great way to reflect your personality as a couple while keeping the musical aesthetic elegant and cohesive. Whether you’re into indie, pop, or something more alternative, our bespoke arrangements can be tailored to suit the tone of your day — from intimate and romantic to lively and fun.
