IS FOR STRINGS The Bristol String Quartet is a well-established group of talented musicians with many years’ experience playing at weddings and corporate functions in Bristol, Bath, Somerset and across the South West. Indeed, as one of the South West’s most experienced quartets, having played in excess of 3,000 events, you’re assured of the highest performance standards. The Quartet can help to create the perfect atmosphere for your big day, whether it be an intimate occasion or grand affair. “Whatever your musical tastes, our large, ever-increasing repertoire of more than 2,000 pieces ranging from Bach to Mozart, Coldplay to The Killers, we can cater to them,” says Andrew Barrington from The Bristol String Quartet.

Who doesn’t want to see their guests comparing tatts of your faces, slogans or designs representing you as a couple? UIS FOR UNBELIEVABLE Stun guests with aerialist performers and acrobats at your drinks reception, as cries of: “how’re they doing this?” ring throughout your venue! V IS FOR VINTAGE Vintage garden games and fun fair classics are a great way to take advantage of your venue’s gardens while the sun shines. Plus, tug of war makes for the best pictures! WIS FOR WAITERS Enjoy the looks on your loved ones faces as singing waiters make their mark on your wedding breakfast. Awkwardness gives way to elation for a memory to treasure – especially if you’re in on it! Z XIS FOR X-RATED For something a bit different book a burlesque performer for an edgy, vintage vibe. IS FOR ZOO If you’re getting married at a farm venue, you may well already find some friendly inhabitants to make friends with. Otherwise, animal lovers can hire their own petting zoo. We love alpacas or miniature ponies, which may even offer additional services such as carrying your Champagne or confetti. Just be sure to check with your venue. YIS FOR YOURS SINCERELY In lieu of a guestbook, keep your guests occupied with advice cards left on the reception tables for them to fill out with their top marital tips. QIS FOR QUIZ Pop some newlyweds quiz cards on the tables as an icebreaker for your guests or allocate some time between wedding breakfast courses for a game of Mr & Mrs. www.london-weddingphotographer.com S ENTERTAINMENT 49
