We recognise the importance of
every wedding and are always delighted to be able to
offer our services.
Our
repertoire contains music that is appropriate to be
performed before the service, during the entrance of the
bride, while the register is being signed and while the
couple exit down the aisle.
The live
music created by The Berkeley Trio lends a particular
intimacy to your service and certainly adds to the depth
of the occasion. The music of a string trio is less
intrusive than that of a string quartet, for example, and
is perfectly suited to the wedding service.
During
the reception, our style changes and we tend to perform a
selection of popular music and light jazz classics. The
music can provide a beautiful background to a reception
for up to 100 people. We often play during the entry of
the guests as well as during the meal.
As part of our
service, we try to develop a programme that suits your tastes and
aspirations and are always pleased to develop arrangements of
additional material if you should require this.
If you are
arranging a party for a wedding anniversary, we can usually
provide music of the appropriate period. Live music always helps
to develop a fun and lively atmosphere for your guests and we
recommend that you give it a try!
You will always
find our services affordable and sensitive to your special
occasion.

Recitals
How often do you
hear a string trio perform? Probably not as often as a string
quartet. Therefore, why not arrange something different for your
next event. There is a diverse string trio repertoire and we are
sure that your audience will appreciate it.
We are as happy
playing for a public festival as we are for a private concert in
your home or business.
You will always
find our services affordable and your audience satisfied.
