Doctor Chocolate were asked to play for Sarah and Martyn’s wedding at the beautiful Cleeve Spa, Wellington at the weekend.  What a venue!

We arrived early and sat outside in the gardens enjoying the last bit of sunshine of the day.  At this venue you have the option of being married in the gardens and the set up of the wooden structure with the rustic wooden benches for guests with the aisle decorated with lanterns on hooks looked lovely.

When the wedding breakfast was over the staff moved quickly to clear the top table so that the band could set up.  With ten band members we managed to unload the van, set up and sound check within 45 minutes!

The resident DJ was great fun and kept the party going with a good choice of wedding music and built the crowd and atmosphere really well.

In the corner of the room Kooky Booths had set up their photo booth with lots of props, wigs and funky faces – they even had a singing video option which resulted in a queue all evening waiting to use the booth!  Great people working this booth so do get in contact with them for a quote and to find out how to add some fun to your event or wedding.

During one song the brass section from Doctor Chocolate slipped off stage to mingle with the guests and promenade around the room – we lost sight of them for a couple of minutes but could still hear them playing perfectly!  We found out they had slipped into the photo booth for four cheeky photographs!

It was a brilliant wedding – the floor was rammed packed all evening and the guests were really responsive and up for a party!  It’s the first time we’ve had the conga danced whilst playing a bit of Madness – check out our facebook page and you’ll see the evidence and the video footage!  Whilst on the Facebook page – pop us a little “like” – and we’ll keep you updated on news and events as they happen!

The wedding of Sarah and Martyn – what a wedding.  We wish them both every happiness & health for the future and we are so pleased they chose Doctor Chocolate to be their wedding band.
