Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - August/September 2024 (Issue 102)

A Boogie wonderland Our A-Z of wedding entertainment ideas IS FOR AGENT Take the hard work out of sourcing your wedding entertainment. Alice from entertainment booking service Entertainment Nation says, “How you want your day to feel is the most important factor when nailing your wedding entertainment. If you imagine a serene atmosphere with elegant musical backdrops, a string quartet, singing guitarist or instrumentalist would be ideal to keep the drinks and chatter flowing. However, if something quiet and understated isn’t your vibe and you want everyone dancing and singing like no one’s watching, a pop, indie or rock band is a no-brainer. Perhaps a funky soul and disco band would go down a treat with you soul music lovers! Want to make your wedding unforgettable? Alternative entertainment like singing waiters and DJ live bands, known for getting the whole crowd involved, are stand-out options for a memorable wedding celebration that’s personal to you. For top advice, recommendations and a really friendly expert team, contact us at Entertainment Nation and we’ll help make your wedding dream a reality!” Find out more at www.entertainment-nation.co.uk IS FOR BRASS Brass Junkies is a dynamic and versatile brass band performing New Orleans style jazz, pop, funk and soul covers in the style of the finest American street bands such as Rebirth Brass Band and Hot 8 Brass Band. Having a flexible band size (from the smallest 5-piece to the full 8-piece band) means they can perform acoustically anywhere from inside on stage or in the tightest of spaces, to outside on the move or on the lawn. Their diverse repertoire covers everything from funky New Orleans classics to The Beatles, Taylor Swift, Stevie Wonder and Prince so there’s something for everyone! One delighted couple says, “The absolute highlight of our wedding!
