Hitting The Right Note
| Q | We're looking to host an al fresco drinks reception with a live singer, what do we need to bear in mind, so the performer has all that they need i.e. shelter, electrical outlets, level performance area? |
| A | Ollie Wade says: The singer will require a convenient location to unload equipment, ideally with on-site parking or a nearby parking area. Outdoor setups should be sheltered from both sun and rain to protect equipment and the performer. Easy access to a power source is essential, and the singer or venue can provide extension cords for reaching more distant areas. A level performance space with ample room for the singer and their sound equipment is crucial for a comfortable and successful performance. Additionally, providing food and drink is greatly appreciated, as it can be difficult to source while on-site for extended periods. It's lovely to feel looked after and a part of the day! |

Music To Your Ears
| Q | What is your advice on taking the first steps in wedding planning? |
| A | Vanessa Sergeant says: Your wedding will be one of the most important days in your life so it needs to be perfect in every way! The music you choose will include songs close to your heart and ones that when listening back in years to come, will remind you of the day you said "I do." So, have a think about the melodies most meaningful to you both and at what point of the day you want each one to be played to elevate the atmosphere. Having a singer to deliver these just makes the experience that much better and more personal to you. |

Music for the soul
| Q | How do you inject your wedding day with the spirit of spring? |
| A | Rose-Ann Raymond-Silvester says: The birds are chirping, the daffodils are in bloom and the sun is starting to warm us once again – what a wonderful time of year for a wedding! The changing of the seasons and the new life it brings aligns perfectly with starting your new life together. What better way to complement your day than with some wonderful live entertainment? Whether you choose to have a string quartet playing during your drinks reception in the grounds of a classy hotel venue, or a folksy acoustic guitarist bringing some chilled out vibes as you walk down the aisle among the trees or in a rustic barn; choosing the right entertainment to suit your style is the key to making your day as perfect as it can be. This is a time of year full of joy, light and warmth, and the right singer or instrumentalist can turn a special day into a truly magical one. Look for an entertainer to create a bright and uplifting atmosphere as you tie the knot and you won't be disappointed. |
