We recommend Aurora Strings, check out:  www.aurorastrings.org.uk IS FOR TRIBUTE BAND If you both have a favourite band, why not have a tribute band play on the day? Celebrate to your favourite songs while dancing the night away. IS FOR UNIQUE Personalise your day by filling it with what you love. Fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race ? Why not hire a drag performer to make a surprise appearance. If you love to sing, prepare a super-romantic surprise performance for your new husband or wife. Perhaps, you’re a member of a choir – can you organise for them to sing at your ceremony? IS FOR VIDEOS Make your day personal and share some home videos with friends and family. What could be a better way to highlight your journey together? IS FOR WAITERS Bring spontaneity and excitement to the wedding with singing waiters – the ultimate surprise that will shock guests and create a fun, light-hearted atmosphere. We recommend The North East Singing Waiters, check out:  www.waitersurprise.co.uk Z X IS FOR X-PERTS Ok, we cheated here! But in all seriousness, your professional entertainers are experts in their field. Be sure to tap into their wealth of knowledge and experience with a pre- wedding meeting. Nobody knows how to fill a dancefloor like they do. IS FOR ZZZ Time for bed, but no need to let the evening fizzle out. Be sent off in style with a sparkler guard of honour as you bid farewell. Y IS FOR YAKETY-YAK If your guest list is filled with folk who haven’t seen each other for years, sometimes less is more. They’ll love time to catch up, so consider periods of downtime or chill-out zones away from all the action. Q IS FOR QUIZ Add some fun table quizzes to create some friendly competition between guests – the perfect ice-breaker. U W V T ENTERTAINMENT 43
