Great combinations

Wedding Bands and EntertainmentJust like you and your husband/wife to be, some pairings just make sense! We've matched up some really good entertainment combinations to help you see which go well together

For the ceremony:
A string quartet or harpist - setting a serene & harmonious backdrop for guests to enjoy before the entrance of the bride.

For the drinks reception & wedding breakfast:
Have the same string quartet or harpist play whilst you have your photographs taken, and then play background music whilst guests dine.

If you'd like something a bit more upbeat, a jazz trio is the perfect way to get feet tapping, and can be positioned indoors or outdoors if the weather is good.

Also, chose a caricaturist or close up magician to mix and mingle with guests as this is a great ice breaker & guests can take home caricatures as a unique wedding favour..


For the evening reception:
A live rock and pop band is the very best choice if you want your wedding party to be amazing! Nothing beats a great live band, and your guests will thank you for years to come!

If you fancy something a little less raucous, a swing/jive band can be a little quieter though just as good for dancing. If dancing really isn't a must, a sophisticated crooner/ rat pack style singer would make an excellent choice, offering non-intrusive entertainment that guests can enjoy from their tables.

Don't forget also a DJ to fill in between the bands performances, or else see if the band offer a DJ option as many do and this can save a considerable amount of money.
