Located in the heart of the Hampshire countryside, Skylark Golf & Country Club offers a wonderful blend of modern luxury and traditional charm. With its stunning views over the manicured fairways and the rustic elegance of the Grade II listed 18th-century barn, it is a venue that provides a truly unique setting for any celebration.
As a local string quartet, we have spent many wonderful afternoons at Skylark, providing the soundtrack for everything from romantic wedding ceremonies to their popular themed afternoon teas.
A "Bridgerton" Twist on Afternoon Tea
One of our favourite ways to experience Skylark is during their themed events. We have had the pleasure of performing for several Bridgerton-themed Afternoon Teas in the dining room and barn.
There is something quite special about the contrast of a string quartet playing modern pop hits—arranged in that signature Regency style—while guests enjoy tiers of delicate sandwiches and scones. If you are looking for that "classical-meets-contemporary" vibe, our repertoire of songs by artists like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Harry Styles fits the Skylark atmosphere perfectly. It’s sophisticated, fun, and always a huge talking point for guests.
Saying "I Do" in the Skylark Barn
For weddings, the Skylark Barn is a spectacular choice. The exposed timber beams and neutral decor provide a beautiful blank canvas for your styling.
A string quartet is the perfect acoustic match for the barn. The natural resonance of the wood makes our violins, viola, and cello sound incredibly rich and warm. Whether you are walking down the aisle to a traditional classical piece or a meaningful film theme, the intimacy of the barn ensures every guest feels the emotion of the moment.
Sun-Drenched Drinks on the Terrace
After the ceremony, the terrace overlooking the golf course is the place to be. With the expansive Hampshire sky as your backdrop, it is a fantastic spot for a drinks reception.
We love setting up on the terrace. A string quartet adds a layer of "garden party" elegance that really elevates the outdoor experience. We often perform a mix of upbeat, feel-good tracks during this time—think jazz standards, upbeat pop, and even a few classical favourites to keep the mood light and celebratory as your guests mingle.
Tailoring Your Skylark Playlist
Whether you are planning a grand wedding or an intimate afternoon tea, we can help you curate a bespoke setlist:
The Ceremony: Elegant and personal. From A Thousand Years to Pachelbel’s Canon, we help set the perfect tone for your vows.
The Themed Tea: "Bridgerton" style all the way! We lean into our modern pop arrangements to keep the atmosphere trendy and chic.
The Drinks Reception: Upbeat and social. Our "TBQ Jukebox" allows us to play a mix of everything from Queen to Dua Lipa.
Why Choose a Local Hampshire Quartet?
Being so local to Skylark Golf & Country Club, we are very familiar with the venue's layout and the wonderful team there. We know exactly where to set up for the best acoustics in the barn and how to ensure the music flows seamlessly from your ceremony to your reception on the terrace.
