A Stunning Day at Rylands Farmhouse | Live Acoustic Duo + DJ/Guitar/Percussion + Vocals

July 17, 2025Events, Manchestermanchester, weddingMitch Cockman

What an incredible day celebrating Sam and Lee’s wedding at the beautiful Rylands Farmhouse & Events!

The afternoon began with our acoustic duo setting the perfect laid-back vibe – acoustic guitar and vocals performing chilled favourites while guests relaxed in the sunshine.

As the evening rolled in, things stepped up a gear with our DJ, guitar and percussionist, joined by live vocals to keep the dance floor moving all night long. One of the highlights of the day was performing “Always Remember Us This Way” by Lady Gaga live for Sam and Lee’s first dance – such a special moment to be part of.

Huge thanks to Sam and Lee for having us – and to the Rylands Farmhouse team for being an amazing venue to play at. Congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs! 💍

Wedding band at Stock Farm, Manchester (Tatton Weddings)

Stock Farm is a super popular wedding venue near Knutford and Manchester and for good reason! It has a real rustic barn feel and the big space inside means lots of room for drinking and dancing..

In September this year it was the venue for Vanessa and Eddies wedding and we all had a great time.

The first dance was Sweet Disposition by the Temper Trap and we had our 5 piece band playing a stonking setlist to follow.

Thanks Eddie and Vanessa! It was a fantastic night and we wish you all the best for the future!

We had a super time playing for Christine and Solomon at the Monastery in Manchester a couple of weeks ago. The Monastery Manchester is a fabulous historic venue in Gorton, Manchester once listed as one of the world’s top 100 endangered sites.

Christine and Solomon had Thinking Out Loud by Luckie D which was a great choice, followed up by our 5 piece wedding band as the evening’s main entertainment.

The monastery Manchester really is a fantastic looking venue and it was great to share it with our lovely couple. All the best to you both for the future!
