What a day at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/oaklandsweddings.co.uk\/\">Oaklands Wedding Venue in Driffield<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We started the afternoon with our<a href=\"https:\/\/www.groovemanuva.co.uk\/acoustic-duo.php\"> acoustic duo<\/a> out on the balcony. The weather was kind, guests were relaxed with drinks in hand, and it was one of those really easy, feel-good starts to a wedding day. Just guitar and vocals keeping things laid-back while everyone settled in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Big thanks to Jonny (@acoustic_guitar_player) for joining us. Always a pleasure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best moments of the day was the first dance &#8211; outside. There\u2019s something pretty special about doing that under the open sky with everyone gathered round. It felt personal and properly memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the evening we switched up to the full 5 piece band with sax and the energy jumped up straight away. Dancefloor filled quickly and didn\u2019t really empty after that. Proper mix of classics, newer stuff and a few big singalongs thrown in for good measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oaklands is such a great venue for live music &#8211; loads of space, great atmosphere and a really friendly team running things behind the scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sophie and Alex  thanks so much for having us. What a night!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/groovemanuva.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Oak7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"679\" data-id=\"1027\" src=\"https:\/\/groovemanuva.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Oak7.jpg\" alt=\"Bride and groom walking outside at Oaklands Wedding Venue Driffield\" class=\"wp-image-1027\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sophie &amp; Alex outside at Oaklands before the evening celebrations.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/groovemanuva.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Oak6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1594\" data-id=\"1026\" src=\"https:\/\/groovemanuva.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Oak6.jpg\" alt=\"Balcony view over lake at Oaklands Wedding Venue during drinks reception\" class=\"wp-image-1026\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The view from the balcony during the drinks reception.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/groovemanuva.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Oak4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1411\" data-id=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/groovemanuva.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Oak4.jpg\" alt=\"Acoustic wedding duo performing on balcony at Oaklands Wedding Venue Driffield\" class=\"wp-image-1024\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Afternoon acoustic duo on the balcony overlooking the lake.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/groovemanuva.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Oak3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1325\" data-id=\"1023\" src=\"https:\/\/groovemanuva.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Oak3.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding ceremony space at Oaklands Wedding Venue Driffield before guests arrive\" class=\"wp-image-1023\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The ceremony space at Oaklands before guests arrived.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/groovemanuva.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Oak2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1240\" data-id=\"1022\" src=\"https:\/\/groovemanuva.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Oak2.jpg\" alt=\"Groove Manuva 5 piece wedding band with sax set up for evening reception at Oaklands Driffield\" class=\"wp-image-1022\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our 5 piece band with sax ready for the evening party at Oaklands.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/groovemanuva.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Oak1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"623\" data-id=\"1021\" src=\"https:\/\/groovemanuva.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Oak1.jpg\" alt=\"Outdoor wedding ceremony at Oaklands Wedding Venue in Driffield with guests gathered under trees\" class=\"wp-image-1021\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sophie &amp; Alex\u2019s outdoor ceremony at Oaklands Wedding Venue, Driffield.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Huge congratulations to Sophie and Alex.
