Your South Wales Wedding - Mar/Apr 2019 (Issue 66)

SOUTH WALES PIANIST 07518 506 846 | southwalespianist.co.uk What do you offer couples for the big day? I’m a pianist, and I can play throughout the ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast. I offer a wide range of packages, and I’m always happy to learn song requests. What’s your favourite wedding you’ve worked at? In May 2018, I played at a wedding at Oldwalls Gower. The venue is one of my favourites, and I loved the stunning grand piano. The civil ceremony was followed by a blessing, which added a personal touch to the day. Do you have any advice for couples looking for entertainment for their big day? Don’t be afraid to ask for help with your song selection. It can be daunting trying to find the perfect piece of music for the ceremony, so find a supplier who is happy to offer suggestions. I find that live performances work best during the meal, as friends and family tend to be quieter when they’re eating. What’s the song that will get you up on the dancefloor when you’re a wedding guest? I’m a hopeless dancer and have always been the guest who sits awkwardly at the side and watches everyone else! PICASSO GRIFFITHS 07831 387 302 | picassogriffiths.com What do you offer couples for the big day? I’m a caricaturist, and I offer couples entertainment that’s a bit different. I create a fun atmosphere and give guests special mementos to take home. I’m also a comedian, so I talk while I draw and fill the room with laughter. Couples can hire my services for the drinks reception and while the photographs are being taken. I also offer a variety of different packages to suit all budgets. What’s your favourite wedding you’ve worked at? I don’t have a favourite because every wedding is different. What makes a great celebration, for me, is having a mixture of personalities that I can bond with. Do you have any advice for couples looking for entertainment for the big day? If you’re interested in someone’s services, then give them a call. Don’t email or message them asking for a price list. It’s essential that you speak to them in person. You’re not obligated to book, but for the sake of a quick phone call, you’ll get a better idea of how they work. What’s the song that will get you up on the dancefloor when you’re a wedding guest? My feet and body don’t work well together unless I’ve had a glass of wine! My personal favourite is David Bowie’s Space Oddity. rebeccafaithphoto.com studiocwtch.com xpectphotography.com 66
