Last Anthem Piano is the third part of the company offer to ensure that every aspect of the entertainment for the special day is catered for, with the option of Andy singing and playing throughout the ceremony, including a bespoke song for the bridal entrance.

Always Time for Teepees is run by a mum of one, Nikki Page, who set the business up three years ago to offer beautiful wedding-friendly spaces for children to enjoy from the ‘I do’s’ until the first dance and beyond. Nikki says: “For children, a wedding can be a long day, and I know all too well how much energy it can take keeping them entertained throughout. Our products provide that much-needed space for children to let off steam and have as much fun as their parents.” With different colours to match, the teepees fit in with almost any wedding décor. They frequently feature in official wedding photos, with the happy couple often enjoying a little time out in a tent themselves. Each hire comes with a package of goodies to inspire little imaginations. From masks and capes to wands and wings, the teepees keep flowergirls and pageboys entertained for hours as they play as superheroes and fairies. All products supplied are CE compliant, and of high quality. Nikki adds: “We know excited children are not always going to play gently so we invest in the best. All the teepees are very tough, so no-one needs to worry and can let the children enjoy the day.” www.alwaystimeforteepees.co.uk www.carn patrick.com Simon Shaw www.nikk ipaxton.com 50
