Q FOR QUARTET If you’re looking for that extra something special to enhance the soundtrack of your day, a string quartet is a romantic and memorable addition. Ideal for the ceremony to create the perfect mood, during the drinks reception or at any point of the day. Check out capriccioquartet.co.uk R FOR ROUTEMASTER BUS Not only great for transporting friends and family from the ceremony to the reception venue, a traditional Routemaster bus makes a great addition to the wedding photos and helps your guests to mix and mingle too. Lay on some drinks and nibbles for the journey to add to the fun. FOR SWEETS A sweet table will keep guests of all ages happy and can complement the venue décor too. Style it to match your wedding theme and colour scheme for extra wow factor. T FOR THEATRE Add a touch of theatre to your day with live- action food stations. Think giant paella dishes, sizzling stir-frys, a pancake or waffle bar, ice creams with help-yourself toppings or a hog roast – great for feeding a crowd. U V FOR VOCALIST A professional singer can work wonders at all stages of the day, interacting with your guests and creating a buzz. W FOR WHEEL A Ferris wheel that is! Enjoy all the fun of the fair on your big day and be sure of plenty of fabulous photos. Hire a ferris wheel or other fairground rides, with candy floss and coconut stalls to make your day one to remember. Z X FOR X-CITEMENT Build up the fun-factor with unexpected surprises like singing waiters, a rap or flash mob routine. To really impress, you and your best girls could even book a class to work out the moves as a fun hen- party activity. FOR ZONES A chill-out zone is a great idea for those that want time out from the hurly burly to chat and relax. A kiddies’ corner can also be a godsend for parents looking to cut some shapes on the dancefloor. You could even hire a professional child-minder or book a crèche to keep the little ones safe and happy for hours! FOR YAWN If it’s getting late and it’s time to go, make sure your guests have transport and accommodation booked well in advance. Include details of local hotels and car-hire companies with the invites so no one’s left stranded. FOR UMBRELLAS Don’t let the weather spoil your fun. Have a few brollies to hand so rain doesn’t stop play. S ENTERTAINMENT 83
