As the weather was unusually lovely for the time of year, we were able to perform outside for guests during the Drinks Reception. As the guests chilled out we were able to entertain them with a selection of songs from our set list.

After the wedding we received this lovely email from the couple:

Rebecca & Tom

RT Acoustic Duo had the pleasure of performing for the lovely Mr. & Mrs. Levett in Kirdford, West Sussex during their Church service Ceremony, Drinks Reception & Wedding Breakfast.

We started the day performing at their Ceremony which took place at St John the Baptist Church in Kirdford. What a lovely Church in a truly lovely little village!

Clair and Brett were a fab couple who wanted to do things a bit differently in terms of music.

To walk Clair into the church we performed our version of 'Wonderful World'. The signing of the registers the couple had chosen 'Your Song' by Elle Goulding and 'Living On A Prayer' by Bon Jovi which Clair had a little dance to!

We then accompanied the newlyweds out of the church to the sounds of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole.

We then moved onto Bartholomews Barn for the Drinks Reception and Wedding Breakfast. A truly lovely venue in a gorgeous setting!

We played a selection of songs from our set list to entertain the guests while they sipped champagne in the sunshine and then moved inside for their Wedding Breakfast.

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. and Mrs. Levett for choosing us to share their special day with!

We had a fantastic day with the lovely couple and their friends and family!

All the best for your future as man and wife!

2011-08-16T03:48:00.000-07:00

RT Acoustic Duo had the pleasure of performing for the lovely Mr. and Mrs. Gutteridge on their special day at the Canada lodge in Cardiff.

What a Beautiful Venue. The lodge was nestled in the countryside and surrounded by a beautiful lake - a truly stunning setting!

Staring with the ceremony, we performed Corinne Bailey Rae's 'Like a Star' which we learnt especially for the couple along with Extreme 'More Than Words' for the signing of the registers.

We then performed 'Is This Love' by Bob Marley as the couple exited as man and wife another song we had learned especially for the couple. We liked the songs so much we decided to keep them in our future set lists!

After the ceremony, we performed a selection of songs chosen by the couple to accompany the Drinks Reception.

We started the evening celebrations by performing the newlyweds first dance 'Loving You' by Paole Nutini and then continued with an upbeat set which got the guests up dancing. The couple had chosen the songs and they went down a treat - my most memorable moment was performing '500 Miles' by the The Proclaimers which all the guests joined in with - classic!

After the wedding we received this lovely email from Tom

Hi Rebecca,

My wife and I would like to say a big thank you to you both for performing at our wedding. The live acoustic music was just perfect for our special day and thanks for learning a few of our special songs. We would definitely recommend you to anyone wanting live music at a party or wedding. Our family and friends have commented on how much they enjoyed the music. Thank you both for playing so beautifully at our wedding, it really did add a touch of class to our day

Tom and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Tom and Kate for choosing us to share their special day! We had a great time with your friends and family and want to wish you a great future together!

2011-08-12T07:48:00.000-07:00

RT Acoustic Duo had the pleasure of performing for the newlyweds Mr and Mrs Wragg at the rather gorgeous Iscoyd Park in Whitchurch.

To add to the magic of the day, the weather was glorious which meant we were able to perform outside for the drinks reception. As the guests sipped champagne, we entertained them with a selection of songs from our set list.

The Bride and Groom arrived at the venue in true style - on two full sized steam engines! It was brilliant!

After all the photo's were done, we headed into the Marquette where we the guests sat down for the wedding breakfast and performed another musical set to accompany.

A truly lovely day!

After the wedding, we received this lovely email from the couple:

Rebecca & Tom,
Thank you so much for the time and effort you made on our wedding day! We really, really appreciated it! The set list was just fantastic and so many guests commented on how fabulous you both were!

Sarah and Matthew Butchard, Rose and Crown, North yorkshire

2011-08-12T07:08:00.000-07:00

RT Acoustic Duo had the pleasure of performing for the lovely Mr.and Mrs. Butchard for their evening entertainments at the Rose and Crown Restaurant in Sutton on the Forest in North Yorkshire

Nestled away in the lovely North Yorkshire Countryside, The Rose and Crown was a beautiful little restaurant where the couple celebrated their wedding with an intimate gathering of family and friends.

The couple hand picked the set list which included some of our laid back romantic numbers and the more livelier numbers for later in the night.

We learnt especially for the couple an acoustic version of 'Feeling Good' by Nina Simone, which we had pre-recorded and sent to the couple so they could practice it to their first dance!

It was a magical moment - the couple danced outside lit by candles for the rest of their friends and family.

After the wedding, we received these lovely comments from the couple:

Hi Rebecca

A big thank you for being part of our wedding day. You and Tom played a huge role in making it a perfect day (despite the weather!) Your singing and Tom's playing was amazing - everyone commented and wanted to know how I found you! My only regret - I couldn't just sit there with the flower girls, listening to everyone of your songs.

Many many thanks

Sarah and Matt

Tom and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you both so much for choosing us to be part of your special day! We were made to feel extremely welcome. We wish you both happiness in your future lives together!

Robert and Jennie Alcock, Holland Hall, Lancashire

2011-08-12T06:37:00.000-07:00

RT Acoustic Duo had the pleasure of performing at the lovely Mr. and Mrs Alcock's wedding at the Holland Hall in Lancashire.

Starting at the ceremony, we performed some nice chilled songs for the guests arrival. Once the bride arrived we then accompanied her up the aisle with an acoustic version of 'Just the Way you are' by Bruno Mars, followed by two songs we learnt especially for the couple - 'No One' by Alicia Keys and 'By your Side' by Sade.

It was a lovely ceremony and as they left as man and wife we played 'It Must Be Love' by Madness.

Onto the drinks reception, the weather held out and we were able to play outside for the guests. We entertained them with a selection of our upbeat and chilled acoustic tunes and had a really enjoyable afternoon.

After the wedding, we received these lovely comments from the groom..

Hi Tom,

You played with Rebecca at our wedding at Holland Hall I just wanted to thank you so much for contributing to our wonderful day. The music you played was excellent (many people have commented) and added a lovely touch to the day.

I was hoping to speak to you on the day but got caught up speaking with family and friends.

Again many thanks,

Robert and Jennie

Tom and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for choosing us to share your special day! We had a lovely time with you and your guests and want to wish you all the best in the future!

Kerry & Tim Ferwerda, Combermere Abbey, Whitchurch, Shropshire

2011-08-12T06:11:00.000-07:00

RT Acoustic Duo had the pleasure of performing for the lovely Mr. and Mrs. Ferwerda for their wedding at the stunning Combermere Abbey.

What a lovely day. I think it was possibly the hottest day of the year that day - an idyllic day for a wedding!

The Ceremony took place within the beautiful Glass house. Kerry and Tim had asked us to learn 'Going to the Chapel' by the Dixie-Cups but instead of singing Chapel to replace with 'Glasshouse'. It was great and made the ceremony so personal for the couple.

We continued as the guests arrived to perform songs which we learnt specially for them. These included - "Have You Met Miss Jones' Jones being Kerry's maiden name and ' A Moment Like This'.

As Kerry entered we accompanied her with 'Songbird' by Eva Cassidy. We then played 'Use Someone' for the signing of the register and ended with 'It's all About You' by the McFly as they exited as man and wife.

A quick cool down and then it was over to the main reception area for the Drinks Reception. As guests played croquet and sipped champagne, we entertained with a selection of our chilled and upbeat tunes.

The sun was still shining, a big thank you to the staff at the venue who brought out fans and sunglasses for us

as the heat was so hot!

After the wedding we received a beautiful card from Kerry and Tim, which read....

To Rebecca & Tom

Just a note to say a great big Thank You for your wonderful performance on our wedding day. Not in the least performing in that immense heat - you were superstars!

The live music you performed so beautifully really did give both the Ceremony and Drink Reception that something special.

All of our guests commented on how brilliant you were & we couldn't agree more.

Further thanks for learning all our 'random' song choices without any fuss!

Best wishes

kerry & Tim

Kirsty and Adrian Ditcher, Bryn Howel Hotel Llangollen, North Wales

2011-08-12T05:22:00.000-07:00

RT Acoustic Duo had the pleasure of performing for the lovely Mr and Mrs. Ditcher at the Bryn Howel Hotel in Llangollen.

For the Ceremony, Kirsty and Ade had chosen Adele 'Make you Feel My love' to accompany Kirsty down the aisle, 'From this moment' by Shania Twain, which we learn for the couple for the signing of the register and Queen 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' which they danced out of the ceremony to! It was great and I think really reflected their personality - great fun!
The second song for the signing of the register they asked us to choose and they said they just couldn't agree on anything! We decided to play 'Songbird' by Eva Cassidy which went down really well!

As the day went on, we played for the couple at their Drinks Reception and throughout the Wedding Breakfast. We were literally with them all the way and really enjoyed entertaining the guests with both lively and chilled out acoustic tunes off our set list.

For the evening reception, we performed the couples first dance which was a repeat of 'Make You Feel My Love' before handing over to the band.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day with the couple and their family & friends and want to wish you both all the happiness in your future married lives together!

Chrissie and Louise Civil Ceremony, Lakeside Nottingham

2011-08-12T03:58:00.000-07:00

RT Acoustic Duo had the pleasure of performing for Chrissie and Louise at their Civil Ceremony at the Lakeside in Nottingham

Starting with the Ceremony, we guided Chrissie down the Aisle with 'Too Lost' by the Sugar Babes which we had learnt specially for the couple along with 'Come What May' and 'Truely Madly Deeply' during the signing of the registers.

After the ceremony, the rain held off so we headed outside to perform for the guests in the stunning grounds of the venue. We performed some of our chilled out acoustic tunes next to the lake - very picturesque!

After the wedding breakfast we went inside to perform some of our lively numbers for the guests before the guests went outside to watch fireworks over the lake -just perfect!

After the event, we received this email from the lovely couple:

Hi Rebecca and Tom

Thank you for performing on our wedding day, You certainly made a huge impression to myself and Lou and all the guests commented on how talented you both are, our wedding day was so special and your singing and music certainly contributed on making our day complete.

Thank you both so very much

2011-08-12T02:54:00.000-07:00

RT Acoustics had the pleasure of performing for Maddie's surprise 40th Birthday party at the White Lion hotel in Beaumaris.

Mat, Maddie's husband, had found us on the web all the way from Norway where he is currently working. He was arranging the surprise party for his wife and asked us to come along and provide the music for the afternoon.

Beaumaris was a truly stunning place and the restaurant Mat had booked was no exception.

We had such a great time with Mat and Maddie and the rest of their friends and family. They were so welcoming and we so much fun entertaining them for the afternoon.

Mat had asked us to learn specially 'Nightswimming' for Maddie as this was one of her favourite songs so we did this as they brought out the 10 foot long cake! It was a priceless moment!

After the party we received this email from Mat...

Hi Rebecca & Tom,
I just wanted to say a quick thank you to you and Tom for helping make the day. I have lost count of how many people have come up to me and commented on how good you guys were and asked for your contact details... Hopefully I will get to see you guys again soon at someone elses do!!!

On the off chance that you guys decide to go gigging anywhere near Anglesey then please drop me a line as it would be good to be able to listen to whole set without having to run out and check on the bouncy castle...

Once again,

Thank you

Mat

Thanks again Mat for choosing us to come and entertain you and your guests for the afternoon, we really enjoyed it!

After the wedding, we received this email from Nicola...

Hi Rebecca & Tom,

We both wanted to say a HUGE thank you for performing on our wedding day.

Everybody commented on how amazing you both were. You are both so talented and Rebecca, your voice is truly amazing.

We were also so impressed when the hotel had a temporary power cut and you continued to perform in the dark, it didn't seem to faze you both at all and the guests loved it!

You really made our day that extra special and our only regret is that we didn't hire you to perform for longer.

All the best for the future and thanks again from both of us

2011-03-09T15:13:00.000-08:00

RT Acoustics had the pleasure of performing at Salvatore's Ristorante Southport for a special evening to celebrate St.David's day.

Salvatore's Ristorante is well known for it's fantastic Italian food. Whilst the guests tucked in to the delicious food, we entertained them with some laid back acoustic tunes including some well known songs by Welsh Artists we had learnt especially for the occasion. I have to say Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones performed acoustically was certainly different and really enjoyable for us to do!

A great evening at a top restaurant!

Thanks for having us!

Emma & Nick, Ettington Park Hotel, nr Stratford-Upon-Avon

2010-09-19T15:37:00.000-07:00

RT Acoustic Duo had the pleasure of performing at the rather lovely Ettington Park Hotel for Emma and Nick during their ceremony and drinks reception.

What a lovely couple!

Starting with the ceremony - we performed as the guests arrived and then walked Emma down the aisle with an acoustic version of Chris Brown's Forever - which Emma had asked us to learn. It worked out really nicely!

For their exit as husband and wife, we also learnt especially for them Journey's "Don't stop believing" which I know Emma had been really excited about hearing! A great quirky song choice but fitted in so well!

After the ceremony we moved outside to perform on the terrace at the drinks reception and thankfully we were blessed with the weather! A great afternoon with plenty of sunshine.

Emma had also mentioned to us that Nick was a big Stone Roses fan - so we slipped into our set "She bangs the Drum" which hit the spot nicely!

We really enjoyed being a part of Emma and Nick's wedding - the family and friends were all so welcoming.

A few days after the wedding we received this from Emma:

Thank you so much for being part of our day - i'm sorry i never got a chance to say bye to you both. We thought you were just wonderful and got lots of compliments on your behalf! Thank you both so much!

Emma xx

Thanks Again Emma and Nick for allowing us to be part of your special day!

REVIEW - All wrapped up!

2010-08-28T05:06:00.000-07:00

Hi guys - just had to share with you this review we received not so long ago after attending a wedding fayre where Collette and her team of wedding planners attended. We only came across it by accident on their website!!

by allwrappedupevents

Its not everyday you get to hear pure talent whilst chatting away to lots of brides…. but I was fortunate enough a few weeks ago to be soothed by the stunning vocal and acoustic guitar talent of RT Acoustic Duo

Now, for me, they are a perfect combination, Rebecca’s voice is stunning and Tom is a marvel on the guitar.

They can provide the musis during the Ceremony, the Reception Drinks, during the Wedding Breakfast and the Evening celebrations

A stylish and intimate duo!
I can highly recommend

Andrew & Lucy Thoms, Langley Priory, Derbyshire

2010-08-27T16:14:00.000-07:00

RT had the pleasure of performing for the lovely Lucy & Andy during the drinks reception at the beautiful location of Langley Priory, Diseworth, Derbyshire

Lucy found our website all the way over in Australia as both her and Andrew were working over there and coming back over just for their wedding!

We set ourselves up outside the marquee which was positioned next to a beautiful lake within the grounds and played some laid back chilled out songs as the guests mingled, sipped champagne, played croquet on the lawn (which looked amazing – I really wanted a go!) Whilst awaiting the arrival of the newlyweds.

When Lucy and Andy arrived we sang ‘You’re Beautiful’ which we learnt especially for them.

It was such a warm and nice atmosphere and perfectly fitting for such a beautiful setting! It had been raining in the morning but throughout the drinks reception the sun was out and everyone was smiling!

Later in the evening we provided the DJ and Disco and got the guests up dancing until the early hours - I'm sure there would have been a few sore heads in the morning!

The best moment of the evening for me was when the guests all congregated just outside the marquee and watched fireworks set off over the lake whilst we played “I’ve got a feeling” by Black Eyed Peas”

Lucy had requested this as she wanted to be reminded of the New Year’s Eve Fire Work display in Sydney where that song was also played!

After the wedding we got this email from Lucy:

Hi Rebecca & Tom

We just wanted to let you know we thought the music you and Tom provided was fantastic. It was exactly what we were looking for and we also had a lot of great feedback on it from our guests. We were also really pleased with the DJ service you provided in the evening and thought the selection of music was spot on with what we were thinking of beforehand.

Thanks again for all the great music you provided on our wedding day

Lucy & Andy

A massive Thank You to Lucy and Andy for having us and making us feel so welcome. Hope you guys have a great married life together.

Thanks also to Christina Savage for sending us the fantastic photos!

Lucy & Giles Davies, Guildhall, Bath

2010-08-27T11:03:00.000-07:00

RT had the pleasure of performing at the lovely Lucy and Giles wedding ceremony and evening entertainments in Bath.

Starting at the Guildhall registry offices in Bath, a beautiful old building with lovely rooms for your ceremony, we accompanied Lucy down the aisle with ‘Wonderful world’.

I particularly enjoy performing during wedding ceremonies. It’s such an honour to be part of someone’s special day. Lucy and Giles ceremony was really lovely. During the signing of the registers we performed ‘It Must Be Love’ by Madness and ‘Better together’ both chosen by the couple from our set list.

To walk them out as husband and wife, we performed an acoustic version of N Trance’s - ‘Set you Free’ which we learnt especially for them. It worked really nice acoustically and we have kept it in our set list ever since!

For the evening celebration we moved over to GG's steakhouse and grill, which was in a lovely setting overlooking the fabulous Bath Weir.

We played 2 x 45 minute sets which included our upbeat numbers such as The Beatles “Saw her standing there” and Amy Winehouse’s “Valerie”

The guests were all up dancing and we had a really good time with them all!

After the second set finished we handed over to the DJ who carried on the party!

A big Thank You to Lucy and Giles for having us and the best of luck in your future married lives together!

Lynne & Mike Everett, De Vere Park Hotel, Warrington

2010-08-27T10:13:00.000-07:00

RT had the pleasure of performing for the lovely Lynne and Mike Everett during their drinks reception and wedding breakfast at the Daresbury Park Hotel.

What a lovely couple with great family and friends, they really made us feel welcome!

When the newlyweds arrived on scene, we played ‘Greatest Day’ especially for Lynne as she had told us that ‘Take That’ were her favourite band of all time!

As the drinks reception continued, we carried on with our chilled out acoustic tunes while guests mingled and relaxed into the day and watched on as the photographs were taken. It was a lovely warm atmosphere.

After the drinks reception we quickly moved our gear up stairs ready in time for the wedding breakfast where we continued with another mix of chilled, contemporary songs.

We had such a lovely day – the friends and family couldn’t have been more welcoming and we really enjoyed ourselves!

We wish you all the best in your future married lives

Anna & Paul Stevenson, St. Josephs Church, Ripley, Derbyshire

2010-08-27T08:41:00.000-07:00

RT Acoustic Duo had the pleasure of performing at the lovely Anna Marie and Paul Stevenson’s Wedding service at St. Josephs Catholic Church in Ripley Derbyshire.

The church looked beautiful inside – it was lovely and cosy with such a nice intimate atmosphere!

As Anna walked down the aisle we performed our acoustic version of ‘Ave Maria’ which she had requested, followed by ‘Amazing Grace’ for the signing of the register and our own version of ‘Joyful Joyful’ as the happy couple left the church!

What we really thought was special about the service was the Acoustic hymns! Anna had told us in the lead up to the wedding about the hymn choices and Tom had learnt them especially on the guitar. It was such a lovely moment when the guests started to join in – a real example of how acoustic music can really add that special touch to your wedding.

The day after we received this from the bride....

Rebecca & Tom

Before we go on our honeymoon, we would just like to say a huge thank you to you both for singing and playing so beautifully in the church, it was absolutely perfect, exactly what we imagined.

Thank you so much for making our special day, extra special.

Many thanks.

Anna & Paul

We would like to thank Anna & Paul for letting us be part of their big day and also for making us feel so welcome while we were there.

Emma & Richard Worral, Augill Castle, South Stainmore, Cumbria

2010-08-27T07:58:00.000-07:00

RT Acoustics had the pleasure of performing at Emma and Richard Worrall evening celebrations at Augill Castle, which is situated between the Lake District & Yorkshire Dales. .

We performed 2 x 45 minute sets and continued the evening celebrations with our DJ service which had all the guests up dancing through to the early hours!

We had learnt specially for their first dance - "Crack The Shutters" by Snow Patrol which was the couple’s favourite and worked out lovely and intimate for the happy couple.

We really enjoyed performing for Emma and Richard, they, along with their family and friends were very welcoming, they certainly knew how to party!

After we finished for the evening, the owners of the castle, Wendy & Simon Bennett advised us they were putting us on their top rated recommendations list for future couples looking for music!

Thanks again Emma & Richard for booking us to be part of your special day!
