Wedding
“We recently hired Petford Ensemble for an event and were incredibly impressed with their performance. The music was a perfect blend of classics and modern takes, reminiscent of the soundtracks from Bridgerton! We can’t thank them enough for adding such a magical touch to our event. We will definitely be booking them for future events and highly recommend them to others.”
