Party time Keep your guests entertained from morning till dusk When it comes to creating memorable nuptials, it’s vital to keep guests entertained throughout the day from when you walk down the aisle to dancing the night away. With so many fantastic companies our there, we’ve selected some of very best entertainers around the East Midlands to help you create a showstopping event. EMMA CARPENDALE, OWNER AT FIZZ POP FACEPAINTING When did the company start? I’ve been face painting for almost 20 years, but primarily for other face painters or agencies on their behalf. I’d wanted to set up my own business for a long time, then some unexpected and challenging life changes in 2019 gave me the push I needed – Fizz Pop Facepainting was established within a few months. What do you offer nearlyweds? I offer a festival glitter and grown-up glitz service to nearlyweds, which can be tailored to their needs. As soon as I started the company, I knew I wanted to add a glitter bar for grown-ups into my services as I love how it adds a fun atmosphere to events – we even offer biodegradable glitter. If desired, clients can opt to have painted eye designs or children’s face painting, which will be a big hit with guests. What makes the business stand out? I tailor my designs to each person depending on what they’re wearing or their colour preferences to ensure each person receives my special attention. Having worked in the events and entertainment industry for many years, I know how important both excellent customer service and professionalism are to my clients. I keep my booking process simple and come fully contained on the day, so I require no assistance setting up when I arrive. What is your favourite part of the job? Seeing the excitement from the newlyweds and their guests when they see my glitter bar is my favourite part of the job as well as seeing their reactions once they’ve been glitzed up! What is your top wedding tip? Don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions to suppliers before you confirm bookings, this helps ensure they’re the right fit for your wedding.

I started the company in May 2022 after seeing 360 video booths earlier in the year; they looked brilliant and different from the conventional booths and selfie mirrors. As I had been looking to start my own company for a while, I thought a 360 photo booth business was the perfect idea to do something different and bring a smile to peoples' faces. What do you offer nearlyweds? Everything I do is bespoke to my clients’ wishes. On top of doing fun videos with all the guests involved, I also create more personalised ones just for the lucky couple. What makes the business stand out? We offer a fantastic service from start to finish using the best software we use to create the videos to the quality of the props. What is your favourite part of the job? My favourite part is when my clients see the finished product. Many people are still unfamiliar with 360 photo booths, so it gives me a great sense of reward for the service we offer when they see the final result. What is your top wedding tip? Have fun with your guests, which is exactly what 360 photo booths offer. Check out: www.360videobooths.co.uk MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT 67
