Your North East Wedding - January/February 2021 (Issue 42)

THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT Live piano is a wonderful way to ‘turn melodies into memories’ on any wedding day, says Ray Snowdon at Ray’s Piano. The company is happy to announce its 20 per cent discount off the All Day Wedding Bundle until Sunday 14 th February 2021 to celebrate Valentine’s Day. All couples need to do is mention ‘YNEW20’ when getting in touch through the company’s website. Adding the sparkle of live music for the arrival of guests, the ceremony, wedding breakfast and reception is a great way to provide a musical backdrop to the day and of course, entertain guests. Hearing some favourite tunes played live throughout the day adds a personal touch whether that’s pop, Motown, soul, country, classical, Disney, rock, blues, rock’n’roll, show tunes or boogie-woogie – there’s something for everyone.

It’s no wonder that the business won North England Prestige Awards – Wedding Planners of the Year! Sourcing local produce is essential for the team, which is why they introduced more local gins and spirits including St Mary’s Gin and Vodka, which is distilled in the heart of North Tyneside. This will go in Nickynoo Quirky Mobile Bars vintage gin suitcase that presents some of its local gins complemented by the substantial range of tonics and garnishes. Another new addition is Dennhofer Wine, a local wine supplier, allowing the business to cater for a large range of budgets. The company is now also running a competition on social media to name one of the new cocktails on the quirky cocktail menu – the winner will get a complimentary bottle of O’Donnell Moonshine.
