A Blame it on the boogie Your A-Z guide to wedding entertainment A IS FOR ACOUSTIC Nothing creates a romantic atmosphere quite like the sounds of an acoustic musician. Cellist, piano, you name it, music unplugged is the way to go from ceremony, to drinks reception and wedding breakfast. We suggest cellist, Bethany Morris. Check out www.bethanymorrismusic.com B B IS FOR BAND Bring the elation and exuberance of a gig to your celebrations with a live band. Many will even go to the extra trouble of learning your song especially for your first dance. Dancefloor full, guaranteed. D C C IS FOR CASINO Fear not, your guests aren’t in danger of gambling away their life savings! These games, including roulette, blackjack and more, are purely for fun. D IS FOR DJ We recommend meeting with your DJ prior to the big day, whether that be face to face or virtually. They’ll need to understand your musical tastes and your guest list to get a feel for the floor fillers needed. Why not send out a request form with your RSVPs to guarantee popular playlist? E E IS FOR EXTRAS Whether it be a basket of blankets so guests can chill out and chat in your venue’s gardens when the sun goes down, or a box of flip flops to soothe those dancing feet, your loved ones will appreciate any added extras to keep them comfortable. F F IS FOR FIREWORKS What could be more memorable that ending the day with a bang? A sure-fire way to wow your guests and a further opportunity for spectacular photos. We suggest Celestial Firework Displays. Check out www.celestialdisplays.co.uk  ENTERTAINMENT 81
