Bands hired for weddings and parties around Chester & Ellesmere Port, Cheshire

| String Quartets | Jazz Bands | Jazz Trios | Jazz Solos & Duos | Barn Dance Bands | Ceilidh Bands | Classical Solos & Duos | Classical Guitarists | Classical Pianists | Jazz Solos & Duos | Jazz Guitarists | Jazz Pianists |

This is a good area for music, being within reach of the string quartets of the classical ensembles that graduate from the Royal Northern College of Music, and is close enough to the population centres of Liverpool and Manchester to benefit from the many jazz bands work in that area. The county itself is rich with folk musicians, ceilidh and barn dances are popular.

Countryside like a vast park rolls across the Cheshire Plain outside the industrial centres. There were once textile factories in Macclesfield and Stalybridge; a there still is a railway centre at Crewe; and, at Winsford, a salt mine which recalls the fact that millions of years ago this land was submerged by the sea. But the abiding impression of the plain is one of cattle moving lazily over grassy slopes thick with buttercups; of woodlands and  meres; and of the typical black-and-white 'magpie' houses set among rhododendrons. The River Dee runs gently through this rich farmland, past the ancient city of Chester and out to the Irish Sea across a huge sandy estuary. Wooded ridges were the sites of ancient British forts long before the Romans made Chester a key stronghold. These hilltops, scattered with traces of ramparts, give grandstand views. From Beeston Castle, near Tarporley, eight counties can be seen.

Chester is an ancient walled city on a sandstone spur north of the Dee. The Romans established their major camp of Deva here in AD 79 to protect the surrounding fertile land from Welsh tribesmen, sea pirates and other marauders. A Roman amphitheatre, measuring 314 ft by 286 ft, lies east of Newgate, and there are Roman remains, including a fine collection of coins, in the Grosvenor Museum in Grosvenor Street.

No other British city has such well-preserved enclosing ramparts; much of the original Roman wall survives, but many of the towers and gates were added in the Middle Ages. There is a 2-mile path round the crest of the red sandstone battlements. From King Charles's Tower, in 1645, Charles I is said to have watched the defeat of his forces at the Battle of Rowton Moor.

Chester's galleried streets, known as The Rows, date from the Middle Ages. Shops open on to balustrade walkways reached only by steps from the road. The city has some fine timbered inns, and a number of the half-timbered Tudor houses, notably Bishop Lloyd's House, God's Providence House, and Old Leche House, have rich carvings cut deep into age-blackened wood. The red sandstone cathedral, in St Werburgh Street, is mainly I4th century. It was a Benedictine Abbey until its dissolution in 1540, and the following year it became the cathedral for the new diocese of Chester.

Trafford Hall Ince Lane, Chester , CH2 4JP, Cheshire

  this is the main centre for The National Communities Resource Centre, a registered charity that offers training to people in low income areas throughout the UK, but being in such a magnificent old building, they also host weddings and other events. It's a Georgian mansion house sitting in 14 acres of grounds and gardens, so not only can the string quartet play for the civil wedding ceremony, but if the weather is fine, can go out into the gardens play for the drinks reception. And it's all in a good cause, because the profits that the charity makes from running parties and weddings et cetera are reinvested into their charitable work. You can't get better than that!

CARDEN PARK HOTEL, CH3 9DQ, Cheshire

  not only does this hotel hosts weddings, but it has a spa and golf course, so plenty for the guests to do if they want to stay on for an extra few days. The wedding venue say that you can take your vows with the picturesque background of their thousand acres of beautiful Cheshire countryside. They even have a large gazebo on the lawns below the veranda, there always has to be an alternative plan in this rather rainy country of ours, so that if the weather is not suitable at the last minute, everything and have indoors. This is where our string quartet's mobility is of great use, as a quartet can be locate themselves in a matter of minutes, having no large instrument cart around all amplification system to set up and take that. A string quartet gives the ultimate in flexibility, so think of that when you hire a music group, it can be quite important if you're planning an outdoor wedding.

It has a spa and wellness offering, which I guess connects well with this history of hospital. Of course now it hosts many weddings and parties, and is plenty big enough to accommodate jazz bands, as in this case, but any kind of live music.c.c.c.

  these are actual botanic gardens, originally set up by Arthur Bulley, a cotton merchant based in Liverpool, in 1898. He sponsored expeditions to China and the Himalayas to bring back new plants that could reasonably survive in the British climate. So, what a wonderful place to have as a wedding venue. Of course, having a wedding somewhere like this, you are hoping very hard, that the weather is going to be fine so you can go out in the garden, they also have function rooms plenty big enough to hold a barn dance, so here you could contemplate hiring a string quartet for the wedding ceremony, a jazz band for the wedding breakfast, and a ceilidh band for the evening entertainment (that's assuming you've got plenty of money, or just one of these would make a tremendous difference and enhancement to any wedding).

The Madeley Centre, New Road, Madeley, Nr Crewe, , CW3 9DN, Cheshire

  this is a very large and well-equipped community centre, the main hall, complete with sound and lighting systems, has a stage, and there are three further rooms in the building. Having good lighting is always good, whether it's a jazz band were playing upon the stage for a ceilidh band, but the sound system is not normally relevant as invariably bands want to use their own sound equipment which they know works well with the instrument in which they are used to setting up correctly for the venue. There's nothing worse than trying to understand how an unfamiliar sound system operates, and many PA systems in buildings are designed for recorded music, and can't handle the high frequencies of the fiddle in a barn dance band, the low frequencies of a bass guitar, and the volume of a saxophone or drum kit in a jazz band.

Tarporley has rich farmlands and woods surround the spacious town. From the rose-filled churchyard of the medieval parish church there is a magnificent view of Beeston Castle, on the summit of the Peckforton Hills, 3 miles south. The ruined 13th-century castle sits on the top of a steep hill with terraced woods on one side, and overhanging rock on the other.

North of Tarporley is the 4000-acre Delamere Forest, with dense foliage and glistening patches of water such as Hatch Mere and Oak Mere.

  well this is someplace for a wedding. It is a real, large castellated ancient building, curving around a circular lawn. A string quartet just has to be hired to make the best of this venue, or a harpist if you prefer that particular sound. The rooms can be candlelit on occasions, but please remember the poor musicians have to read music. Whereas jazz band will generally play without music as they are improvising, a string quartet is playing music has been carefully composed and arranged for that ensemble, with intricate harmonies and a very formal structure, so it is always played a music to make sure that there are no errors in the carefully crafted compositions. If the musicians can't see what they are doing, then all is lost. In the good old days of hiding and Mozart, there was no electric lighting and candles were used, but the music stands in those days were equipped for it, with candleholders either side of the music. Not only aren't these extant like that nowadays, but health and safety wouldn't allow it, and the event coordinator would quite reasonably have kittens.

Knutsford is an attractive town with narrow streets and old black-and-white houses. Knutsford was the 'Cranford' of Mrs Gaskell's novel of that name. She was married in 1832 in the 18th-century parish church, and her grave is behind the 17th-century Unitarian chapel.

Tatton Hall, 2 miles north, built c. 1800, was the home of the Egerton family and houses a fine collection of furniture, pictures, china, silver and glass. It is surrounded by 54 acres of formal gardens and woodland laid out by Humphry Repton (1752-1818), and is one of the National Trust's most visited properties.

The giant radio telescope of Jodrell Bank looms 6 miles to the south. The Mark I radio telescope has a dish aerial 250 ft in diameter, weighing 2000 tons. The Concourse Building, opened in 1966, has an exhibition of radio astronomy, closed-circuit television demonstrations, and a model radio telescope, which visitors can operate. I visited this a few weeks ago. Very interesting and well worth a visit.
