July 2022: Wedding at Sampford Courtenay
One of our choir's smaller ensembles supported a wedding at St Andrew's church, Sampford Courtenay, on Saturday 23 July 2022.
The bride wrote "I just wanted to say the most enormous thank you to you all for making the wedding service so incredibly beautiful and special. It was utterly magical and everything I had hoped for.
Your musicianship shone through and I know that all of our friends and family found it very moving and a highlight of the day.
Many parents have said how wonderful it was for their children to be able to listen to such beautiful music. Please especially thank the soloists… they were excellent and made for quite an emotional entrance!"
