Your Cheshire and Merseyside Wedding - January/February 2023 (Issue 67)

6 LIVE BAND Whatever your style there’s a band out there for you. Experienced musicians are adept at judging the vibe on the dancefloor, making sure they keep those dancing feet busy all night. Many will learn that special first dance song for you at your request and some offer super-flexible options to bring you suitable entertainment from low key drinks reception music to full-scale floor-fillers in the evening. Our golden rule? Make sure you get to a live gig to see what they can do before you book. It’s well worth seeing what’s out there. 8 SAXOPHONIST Strike a laid-back Ibiza party note with a live saxophonist to accompany your DJ on the dancefloor. Mingling with guests, that edge of interactive excitement will truly create the wedding wow factor.

While the show’s innovative soundtrack of modern hits makes it a standout, this is something modern day string musicians have been doing forever.

A harpist is also wonderful to bring an air of class to the drinks reception – you’ll be surprised at how good this instrument makes the Disney greats sound!

Brilliant at breaking the ice, a magician will have your guests enthralled and chatting as though they’ve known each other for years thanks to their exciting shared experience.

These folks have years of experience and not only do they know exactly what to play when, they can create the atmosphere you’re looking for during your big bash. 62
