If you are planning a medieval themed wedding then Trouvère medieval minstrels are perfect for creating the right atmosphere. Our medieval musicians specialise in performing music from the middle ages on a impressive array of period instrument including lutes, citoles, gitterns, harps, psalteries,, fiddle, rebecs, flutes, cornamuse, crumhorns, recorders, bagpipes, harps, nakirs and sidedrum.

The Ceremony

If the ceremony has a medieval theme, then our minstrels are more than happy to provide the music. Needless to say, the music here has to be very carefully chosen and we are open to requests within reason. Our singers can also present a medieval romantic song to serve as a reading if required. We have often performed the courtly love songs of the Trouvères and the troubadours for this purpose and they are very beautiful.

The Banquet

If your wedding has a medieval theme, there is a good chance that you will want to create a banquet atmosphere. Medieval minstrels are essential for this. Musicians will stroll amongst your guests, actors and storytellers will entertain your guests with medieval tales ranging from the hilariously funny tales from Chaucer through to the noble love ballads of the troubadours. Jesters will juggle, stiltwalk and carry out all manner of silly activities to amuse and amaze your guests. Last, but not least, our medieval knight can be used as a master of ceremonies or herald to introduce the food, the speeches and amuse all with japes, tales and games.

After the banquet

For a wedding with a historical theme, medieval dance makes a great way to follow the banquet. Our dance leader and musicians will guide you through a variety of period dances, including the branle, pavane and farandole. The style is lively and informal - a medieval ceilidh!

Depending on the venue and the number of guests, Trouvère will perform without amplification where possible. For larger gatherings amplification may be necessary and we can provide everything that is required.

Prices for weddings including music for the ceremony, banquet entertainment and dancing start from £650. To see a more detailed listing of prices and options click here
