The string quartet can help set the scene throughout the day, such as when guests arrive, throughout ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts. The manager and viola player Gayle Roberts says, “We consist of full-time professional musicians who are passionate about what we do. Our huge and varied repertoire means that we can play traditional classical music, pop music or anything in between.” He adds, “We also write music arrangements and we can make one for you if there’s a piece of music that isn’t on our list.” Check out: www.aurorastrings.org.uk Wedding entertainment is vital for keeping guests occupied and the atmosphere flowing throughout the day. There are a wide range of options for local entertainment in the North East; we’ve gathered talented suppliers to help you plan a wow-factor wedding and impress guests of all ages. www.fpphotography.co.uk Murder mystery Murder One has offered interactive murder mystery events for more than 35 years, and works closely with nearlyweds to create the perfect entertainment for loved ones. Company director Aidey Pugh says, “We specialise in extremely realistic and naturalistic events with the use of professional actors. If desired, we can easily trick guests who won't know what’s happening until a murder is announced!” Some guests will pursue and interrogate the suspects to their heart’s content, while others prefer to watch the action from a discrete distance, making a note of whispered blackmail, threats and more. The team will display an array of visual clues in the function rooms, consisting of notes, love letters, Facebook messages between the characters and more. Towards the end of the event, tables are invited to reach a majority verdict and sum up their case before the officers reveal the murderer. Couples can also have a video of the whole event afterwards, as the officers have working bodycams attached to their stab vests to capture the event and those involved.
