Local experts reveal all www.unsplash.com LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU How can we entertain our guests at our late-summer wedding? We want something unusual and quirky to fit our retro-themed celebration. Meet the supplier: The Vintage Games Company is a Surrey-based business supplying vintage and antique games for hire for weddings and events around the county. Amelia says: At The Vintage Games Company, we understand that entertainment at a wedding should be both fun and aesthetically pleasing. We provide a wide selection of antique and vintage games for your big day, whether you’re having a winter or summer wedding. For example, a summer soirée is perfect for our outdoor games such as the coconut shy, tin can alley, horseshoe pitching and also boules. Not only are these fun for all ages, but they make great pictures and capture some lovely memories of everyone having a wonderful day! If you’re opting for a cosy winter wedding, we have a delightful and nostalgic selection of indoor games to choose from. These include bagatelle, shove ha’penny, tabletop skittles, connect four and ring board. All of the games look great incorporated into vintage wedding themes and venues that offer a retro vibe so you’re sure to love them! Having entertainment is fast becoming more and more popular at weddings as couples recognise there might be a slight lull in the day, and having something for your guests to do is a great idea! We think that your wedding day should be filled with love, laughter and good old-fashioned fun, and we love to be a part of that. https://thevintagegamescompany.com www.instagram.com/thevintagegamescompany www.facebook.com/people/The-Vintage-GamesCompany/61551412012499 HOT TOPIC PLANNED TO PERFECTION How can we ensure that our special day runs according to plan? Meet the supplier: Michael Brunker is the Surrey-based founder of Men In Red Toastmasters helping to plan, coordinate and present any type of event, especially a wedding. Michael says: If you’re planning a wedding, ask yourself an important question - I have planned this wedding to perfection, but who is going to deliver that plan on the day? Do you want to spend your day fretting about all the details, or would you rather relax and enjoy yourselves? This is why I encourage couples to pass responsibility for managing their day to someone they can rely on. If that person is a trained, accredited and well-reviewed Toastmaster, then you will know your day is in good hands. Moving your guests from room to room, getting people in front of the photographer, announcing speeches, and keeping everything on time (the list goes on) is the job of a professional and experienced toastmaster - we also sort hiccups and answer questions along the way! https://meninred.co.uk www.instagram.com/meninredtoastmasters www.facebook.com/meninredtoastmasters EXPERT ADVICE 59
