The difference between an OK wedding and an amazing one is the energy level of the guests. Having an engaging, any-weather, mobile entertainer will break the ice and overcome the dreaded four hours of small talk.” – Danny, Red Hat Magic 6A CLASSIC TRIBUTE So Sinatra has been bringing a Sinatra-style twist to weddings since 2002 when he first sang at a wedding drinks reception. With a look not dissimilar to the man himself and a voice to match Frank can make for some unforgettable memories. Better still, So Sinatra can manage all the music for the complete day and evening from ceremony to carriages, including DJ or just one element as you prefer. New for this year is the Sinatra Wedding Breakfast Party. That’s right, a party before the speeches! Frank sings Love and Marriage as you enter the room before reappearing over dessert to serenade the tables, getting loved ones singing along and up on their feet.

Always check references.” – Paul, So Sinatra 3STRING QUARTET Think of those first few all-important moments of your reception when your loved ones will be arriving and sitting down together to dine. A pleasant, relaxed atmosphere is just what you’ll be looking for. To ensure the perfect start to your wedding, why not welcome your guests with the sound of a string quartet? Phoenix String Quartet usually plays during the drinks reception and throughout the wedding breakfast until the speeches start, but can happily play for the ceremony too if required. Entertaining guests for 15 minutes as they await your arrival, these talented musicians will also accompany your grand entrance with a suitable piece. What about Mendelssohn’s Wedding March, Pachelbel’s Canon or something with particular meaning to the two of you? Beautiful music will then fill the venue as you sign the register, and as you exit there’ll be something appropriately jubilant. The Quartet has developed a wide repertoire and will be pleased to tailor a programme of music to suit you on your wedding day, and the gentlemen will be suited and booted befitting your auspicious occasion in white or black dinner jackets or even tails.
