Wedding at Hodsock Priory

“Really good service from start to finish. Accommodated our choice of music despite one of them being unique and not on the list of music options sent to us prior to the wedding. Really good feedback from our guests and it really made the ceremony and reception drinks that little bit more special.”

Sophie Ryder exhibition

Sophie’s “works big” and her imposing sculptures which are inspired by animals and mystical creatures have been exhibited globally in Canada, the U.S.A. Germany and Sweden, alongside major exhibitions at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Often displayed in rural settings, the show at The Piece Hall will represent a rare opportunity for her work to be seen in an urban setting, against the backdrop of our Grade I listed building’s beautiful stone façade.

wedding - fran & Piotr

The Fern Quartet played the most wonderful music for our wedding ceremony. I made an unusual request for my aisle song and they were so accommodating and learned the song perfectly, it was such a magical moment. They played some beautiful versions of our favourite pop songs and even had all of the bridesmaids singing along! We couldn’t have asked for a better start to the wedding and I absolutely recommend them to any other brides.

They really did help to make it such a perfect day. I shall definitely be recommending you if any of my friends get married.”

recording with mcshane & shaw

“The Fern Quartet have recently played on a new piece that McShane & Shaw will be releasing on film and audio in the autumn. The recording session last night was superb and it was a great pleasure to work with such talented and highly skilled musicians. Having heard some of their repertoire, I would highly recommend them as an excellent musical feature for any special event. Book them now, they are fabulous!” - Chris McShane

Wow. We hired the Fern Quartet to play at our July wedding for our outside ceremony. The music was beautiful and really added that extra special touch on our extra special day. Absolutely worth every penny. Lovely ladies too. Would 100% recommend.”
