Saturday Night's Alright
| Q | What is your advice on taking the first steps in wedding planning? |
| A | Kevin Clay says: When it comes to entertainment, whoever it is you have your interest set on, hopefully you've seen them perform first! If you love them, book early as the best acts get booked up quickly. See what sort of set list they have, my personal recommendation is that they need to be to perform something for everyone spanning all ages. For example, if I'm booked for my act as Party Man, the live music is created to suit everyone's tastes, allowing them to have a great, fun time on the dancefloor. Remember, you might have ages present from children to grandparents, so a large melting pot of different genres is what's needed. Have your entertainment set up before your reception starts, so that it all looks great before the celebrations start. Keep an open mind too. Timings for the day can often run over, so try not to over schedule. Things rarely go according to plan, and this is fine. If it happens, relax, enjoy your moment. Weddings always sort themselves out throughout the course of the day. It's going to be great! |

Beautiful music
| Q | My wife-to-be and I would love some live music at our drinks reception, but don't want anything too intrusive as guests will want to chat and catch up. What would you suggest? |
| A | Mark Levin says: Live music can bring a fantastic quality to a drinks reception and set the tone for the day. Any wedding pro will understand that what they play will be required to be in the background. This means that the volume and tone should be at a level that still allows for guests to chat and mingle easily, whilst enriching the atmosphere. I always have a discreet amp with me when playing at drink receptions, which allows me to adapt the volume to the space, and move the volume up and down as required during the set so it is always at an adequate level. Music can be a great ice breaker to help get guests chatting, especially as mingling at big events can be intimidating for some people. Even if some guests aren't seemingly paying much attention whilst chatting, they always notice the drop in atmosphere when the music stops. |
