THE ART OF LOVE SENSIBLE PENCIL https://sensiblepencil.com | 07974 910 667 A good caricaturist successfully marries fast, fun and fabulous entertainment with personalised mementos and Sensible Pencil, AKA Christian Marshall does just that. Now, digital caricatures are available for weddings too. Picture a mash-up of a close-up entertainer, a photo booth and a caricaturist! Your loved ones are drawn in full colour on an iPad, taking only five minutes each, and the pictures are then emailed to the guest and printed too. Each participant gets a digital copy for social media and one to show off at the party. There are options for a fully mobile, mix ‘n’ mingle artist, or a stationary attraction, where the guests can watch as the caricatures are created live on a big screen set up. The caricature templates are fully customisable, with your choice of colour, theme, title or message. They’re also all available after the big day to download, reprint, share, or simply gather together in one group picture. One of the best in the business, Christian has 20 years experience of entertaining thousands of happy couples and he’s the top choice for many agents and wedding bookers. One of the pioneers of digital caricaturing in the UK, he was instrumental in turning this new art form into a unique and exciting form of entertainment. Something different Scan to view video HELLO, HELLO THE GUEST PHONE https://theguestphone.com | 0800 054 1495 The Guest Phone is the perfect way to capture your guests’ heartfelt messages and special moments in crystal-clear audio.

For example, Lee continues, “Song request lists seem clearer, with a simple brief: Party! We’re free again, and it’s showing with the music choices. There are now fewer obscure requests, which of course helps the party achieve rip-roaring success!” The Wedding Players is anticipating an even more relaxed vibe to come, whether it’s a DJ outside on a summer’s evening or chilled-out grooves from 7pm to 9pm in late October. “Customers are starting to realise the significance of music programming,” Lee explains. “Respect the time and the mood, and the music will take its own path. We’ll guide it at the right tempo and style towards it’s natural conclusion, the climax of the celebrations.” Lee has also seen an increase in demand for mini golf at weddings, complete with a garden speaker to the side playing summer music, for that perfect seasonal vibe. “It works, and everyone is happy,” Lee says. Rip-roaring time Relaxed vibes Something different ENTERTAINMENT 51
