Winter Weddings
| Q | For our winter wedding, we'd love to include Christmas music but we're worried it will come across as 'cheesy'; how can we have the festive feel while keeping is classy. |
| A | Abigail Scott says: I completely understand wanting to keep the festive spirit without it feeling over the top. To create a classy, elegant atmosphere, I recommend choosing timeless Christmas songs that are more about mood than novelty. Think along the lines of soft, jazzy classics like Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting), or even an instrumental version of O Holy Night. These songs bring warmth and festivity without being too 'on-the-nose'. We can also blend them subtly throughout the evening, perhaps starting with traditional wedding music and introducing the Christmas feel during cocktail hour or dinner, and using live arrangements that fit the tone of your day. This way, you'll have the festive charm without it feeling cheesy! |

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! |
