Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - February /March 2021 (Issue 87)

Our regional experts share their top tips HOT TOPIC LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU We want to wow our guests at our 1930s-themed wedding with some quirky entertainment – can you help? Meet the expert: Adam Denton is the owner and managing director of Silverbird Entertainment based in Oxfordshire providing tribute acts, live bands and DJ hire throughout the UK. Adam says: When working with clients planning their big-day entertainment, I like to get to know them and the type of wedding they are planning so I ask them a few questions to start. Why have they chosen their particular wedding theme? Do they want their guests to be dressed in the chosen style and how many guests are they expecting? The trend for micro weddings at the moment doesn’t mean that entertainment has to be on a small scale – we offer everything from solo singers to a full seven-piece band. It’s important not to forget about the music and entertainment during the ceremony and drinks reception as well as the wedding breakfast and evening event. A solo singer performing the Bridal Chorus in a 1950s theme or a vintage trio like The Candy Girls all dressed up can make a wonderful choice for during the ceremony. Silverbird Entertainment works closely with another company who decorate wedding venues based around the chosen theme. They will set-up a 1930s-themed wedding or a 1940s look complete with costumes to tie in with the style of music.
