Your Surrey Wedding- April/May 2020 (Issue 82)

54 MEET PAUL HOLGATE FROM SO SINATRA AND SUGARTOWN PRODUCTIONS sosinatra.com | sugartown.co.uk What do you offer couples for the big day? Live Sinatra performances and optional management of all other music and entertainment. What should couples expect when booking your services? Advice on what entertainment would best enhance your big day. We also have a smooth online booking process. How long before the wedding should couples book? To be sure of availability, book as early as possible once the date and venue are confirmed. Around 12 months before the wedding is the most common time to book. What’s your favourite wedding you’ve worked at? There have been so many wonderful couples, venues and locations but being flown to New Jersey to perform at West Point Military Base for a marine’s wedding was quite special. What are your top tips for brides-to-be? Book full-time professional entertainers, wherever possible to ensure you have a stress free day and your guests are entertained. Good questions to ask are what is their usual length of sets, how do they engage and interact with guests and how long do they need to set up? Also, check that you can have a copy of their Public Liabilities Insurance, PAT testing for their equipment and ask what will happen if they’re unable to play.
