Marten String Quartet. Directed by Cellist, Sally Alexander 🎻

What a show last night….! 💫 . This was Collaboration, Creativity & Celebration at its very best! 👌 It was pure joy for us to share the stage last night @royalderngate performing specially arranged string arrangements for Collide: A choirfest experience. 💫🎻💫 . This eclectic music concept which featured 200 voices, six genres of music ,soloists & special guests was set against a backdrop of a live band and string quartet 🎻 (that’s us! 😉) directed by the fabulous MD Gareth Fuller @fullerg77 . This unique project showcased how powerful and uplifting music really can be! 🙌 🙌🙌 When pop meets classical, rock meets orchestral and creative meets culture, this was a show to inspire 💫 and certainly kicked off those Easter bank holiday celebrations! 🎉🎶 . #martenstringquartet #sallyalexander #stringsection #stringquartet #cello #violin #viola #strings #stringsandchoir #music #stringsandband #voices #200voices #choirs #collideachoirfestexperience2024 #gospelchoir #masschoir #musiccollaboration #gospelsingers #gospel #musicalextravaganza #singers #celebration #easterjoy #livestringquartet #musictobringjoy #livemusic #royalandderngatetheatre #musictobringjoy @northantssingsout @westnorthants @martenstringquartet @loopandforge @katieneaves2018 @jeromebrownmusic

Remembering this gorgeous Midsummer Romance. There is a unique intimacy to weddings at The Bingham Riverhouse. ✨ . Such a joy to see these “true to life” moments captured so beautifully. From the quiet, reflective morning prep to a sun-drenched “I do” in the gorgeous garden filled with love and laughter. . The Marten String Quartet set the tone perfectly, filling the air with ethereal notes as our bride walked down a flower-filled aisle. . For C & R, it was all about summer romance: a June palette of seasonal roses, plush peonies, delphiniums, and hydrangeas. . With a heartfelt humanist ceremony and words spoken straight from the heart. Thank you to our lovely couple for entrusting us. It’s always a pleasure working alongside the wonderful team at the Bingham and these recommended suppliers. . Planning your own garden wedding? We’d love to help bring your vision to life and looking forward to the next Open House on Wednesday 22 August 6pm - 8pm. .

A few thanks to the people who made my wedding a dream. Huge thanks to @martenstringquartet who performed at my wedding. As you can read, Sally has performed music in every episode of @downtonabbey_official so for the quartet to perform the theme as we entered the dining room as a married couple was a complete surprise and such a magical moment, hence my expression! Thanks to @thelittletop for the incredible gold balloons and @itsnotjustcake for the beautiful cake. It was truly a work of art and the best cake I’ve ever tasted. Touch me and I now have a light dusting of icing sugar. #weddingmusic #weddingmusicians #londonwedding #surreywedding #weddingstringquartet #londonweddingsuppliers #londonweddingcakes

What an honour to perform for a fabulous couple ‘S & D’ when after 16 years they finally tied the knot in the most joyous 🎉 setting @binghamriverhouseweddings last Saturday! 💛… Swipe ⬅️ for 📷 . This wedding will always hold a special place in my heart 💛 as my lovely client is a huge Downton Abbey fan (like me! 😉)…. As a musical ‘wedding gift’ from us 🎶 we wanted to surprise ‘S’ by performing 🎻 our very own special & ‘bespoke’ arrangement of the ‘Main titles’ from Downton Abbey to ANNOUNCE the newly married ‘MR & MRS’ as they entered their Wedding Breakfast, followed by whoops and cheers from all their guests! 🎉 . This arrangement is a very special and personal one for me 🥰 and a beautiful moment to have shared it with our lovely Downton appreciative clients 😉😘 creating a wonderful memory as they begin their married life together…! 💛 . For all of you who might be interested in the ‘back story’ for me, this has a very personal story attached…. 💛💛💛. I have been so lucky and blessed to have performed in every episode, every series and every film of ‘Downton Abbey’ since its birth and even dressed up as an Edwardian cellist for two of the TV episodes! 😉😂 It will always be amongst one of my career highlights! ❤️ A few years ago, as a beautiful gift to me, my dear friends, the FABULOUS @downtonabbey_official #downtonabbey composer #johnlunn and his BRILLIANT orchestrator #alastairking arranged (exclusively for US) a FABULOUS String Quartet arrangement of the Opening Titles incorporating some of the most iconic themes from the famous TV series… 🙌🎻🙏❤️ It is a JOY to play & it will always hold a special place in our repertoire for ever! 💛💛💛 . A big shout out to my fellow wedding supplier colleagues! Always a pleasure to work with you all! 😘 Venue: @binghamriverhouseweddings @binghamriverhouse 🎻 @martenstringquartet 💄@Isjhairbeauty 📹@rawpixelsweddings 🌺 @johannapedrickflowers 📷@barneytimelesspictures 🎈@thelittletop 🎂@itsnotjustcake #martenstringquartet #🎶 #wedding #weddingmusic #downtonabbeymusic #tvthemes #weddinginspo #events @sharonlhanley
