Wedding Entertainment Blog: Advice

This article carries on Bride Tips on Wedding Costs – Part 1 6. The Bride’s Extras  I’m actually embarrassed to admit how much this extras actually cost us. The shoes, underwear, jewellery,  spray tan, nails, hairdresser and beautician for the big day….it added up to a lot of money. Yes, you may want or need all of those things but shop wisely. I spent £80 on a pair of shoes that nobody saw (other than the very tips of the toes) and haven’t been worn since, £120 on underwear that my husband merely glanced at before flopping into bed and £80 on jewellery that is buried somewhere at the bottom of …

Every bride and groom in the land wants their wedding day to be perfect, but does perfection come at a cost? As my feet haven’t found their way down the church aisle (yet!), I asked a married friend how much she spent on her wedding and if there was anything she would do differently if she could go back and do it all again.  I wasn’t expecting her list to be quite as long as it was, so I thought I’d hand the reins over to her today so she could tell you all about it. Here’s Elaine’s list of what she did wrong, where she overspent, where she under …

With people working more hours than ever before, trying to squeeze family and hobby time around their work, we’re fast becoming a nation of using one-stop supermarkets, buying online and ultimately taking as many shortcuts as we can to free up extra  ’fun’ time.

The to-do list can run into pages, and the thought of embarking on it can seem daunting to even the very best organisers. It’s no wonder then, that some brides and grooms breathe a huge sigh of relief when their wedding venue …

Following on from my last blog post, I’d like to tell you a bit more about the workshops I attended in Las Vegas, and why I’m so excited about implementing everything I’ve learned into my performances here in the UK as a Wedding DJ and Master of Ceremonies. All three workshops were incredible and I was honoured to be taught by people who are undoubtedly the best and most respected wedding entertainers in the world. Mark and Rebecca Ferrell’s  ’Gold Master of Ceremonies’ workshop, together with Peter Merry (author of The Best Wedding Reception Ever) & Elisabeth Scott Daley’s ‘Make it Grand‘ and ‘The Professional Process‘ were all very different, but …

They say that location is everything. When you buy a house, book a holiday or even arrange the furniture in your living room, location plays a huge part in your decision making.  Likewise, when you’re organising your wedding, you may well choose your honeymoon, church or venue based on location and perhaps  even ensure that things like the head table and the cake are strategically placed too. But it shouldn’t stop there. Have you ever given any thought to the location of your wedding disco and subsequently the dance floor (or if your lucky sparkly dance floor)? When most couples visit their venue for the first time, they’re usually preoccupied …

Arranging a wedding is a huge task and a massive responsibility. You’ve probably spent many days visiting venues, poring over wedding breakfast and buffet menus with friends and family. You’ve discussed colour schemes, floral decorations and bridesmaids’ dresses and spent weeks flicking through magazines and clicking through websites for inspiration. You’ve tried on endless amounts of wedding dresses with your heart set on finding the one of your dreams. You’ve searched for suits and discussed ties versus cravats and hiring versus buying.  You’ve ploughed through album after album of portfolios, in search of just the right photographer and you’ve seen so many wedding cars you can’t even remember what the …

Wedding Music Choosing the music for your wedding can be a really daunting task – after all, there could be twelve hours or more for which you need to not only create the right ambience for your special day, but also keep your guests happy and entertained.  As your music is going to set the tone and be the soundtrack for your entire day, your choices are going to have a dramatic effect on how you and your guests remember your wedding. But with so much music to choose from and so many people to keep happy, where do you start? The easiest and most effective way of planning your …

HOW MUCH SHOULD A WEDDING DJ COST? One of the most popular questions that people ask when planning their wedding is: how much should a wedding DJ cost. It’s a good question because if you’ve never booked a DJ before, it’s difficult to know how much you should be charged. Prices can vary from the low hundreds up to over a thousand pounds and often couples just settle for the cheapest in the belief that they’re getting a bargain, only to regret it later. If you do decide to book your wedding DJ on cost alone, it’s worth taking note of exactly what you can expect to get for your …
