NIGHT AWAY Boogie the Meet local musicians and entertainers To help make your wedding stand out for all the right reasons, it pays to get the entertainment right. For the happy couple, the big day may go by in a flash, but for family and friends, especially travel-weary guests or those with young children, any lulls in the proceedings can dampen the feel-good factor. Nothing brings people together more than laughter and shared experiences, so it’s essential that you hire a supplier who will keep your guests smiling throughout the day. While it may feel stressful trying to find something that suits your budget, keeps your friends and family happy, and also fits the vibe of your day, don’t panic! There is a supplier out there for everyone, from bands, DJs, live painters, singing waiters and much more! If you’re struggling to decide on an act, contact several companies and see which one you vibe with. Before booking, read the company’s reviews and check out their price guide to make sure that you can afford their services. Think about what you both love and what will get your guests dancing and talking about your wedding for years to come. To make sure your celebration is one to remember, we’ve put together a feature showcasing some of the best musicians and entertainers in the area... BERTIE ANDERSON AKA BERTIE BOW bertiebow@gmail.com | www.bertiebow.com Bertie Anderson, also known as Bertie Bow, is a musician with more than 20 years of experience. “I know exactly how to provide that magical musical sparkle to your day,” says Bertie. “I have curated an ever-expanding programme of violin repertoire, especially for weddings. Inspired by Bridgerton, I love playing pop and rock covers on violin with high-quality piano and guitar backing tracks, creating a sophisticated, contemporary atmosphere for a ceremony, drinks reception or wedding breakfast. I can provide my repertoire list on request, which also includes a varied selection of classical, film, music theatre and jazz music. “I’m based in Cromer, Norfolk, but am happy to travel around East Anglia. I’m always keen to perform specific requests during the ceremony, for the bride or groom’s entrance, signing of the register and exit, to create your perfect soundtrack.” James Miller www.timdoylephotography.co.uk www.unsplash.com MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT 47
