"🎻 LAWRENCE GRATTON 🎻
I still haven’t quite found out just where Emily & Tom discovered Lawrence Gratton but I can tell you this, his entertainment for pre, during and post ceremony was nothing short of S P E C T A C U L A R 👏🏼
He uses both acoustic guitar and violin, and a looping station - and the result sounded like being a Bridgerton-esque ball, with not just traditional classical songs but also contemporary pop songs with an orchestrated sound." - Kate (Celebrant)
