Over the next few months we will be sharing with you some of the things we've learned about weddings from our years working as wedding entertainer. We hope you find it helpful!
This is the big one, probably the most talked about piece of wedding advice ever - take your time to step back and enjoy it!
If you're planning to get married in Leicester and are starting to think about the arrangements you need to make, you could do a lot worse than visit the Wedding Fayre at The City Rooms, where you'll get lots of inspiration for your big day.
We love wedding fairs and events - they're a great way to get out and meet people. From the point of view of brides, grooms and their families, they make life so easy! You get to see everything you need under one roof.
As a wedding band, we're very pleased to see that marriages are on the up!
The number of weddings in Britain had been falling steadily since 1972 (when there were 400,000 wedding a year!), according to the Office of National Statistics (ONS), but that suddenly increased in 2010 and has been steadily climbing since then. The most recent figures available show there were over 262,000 weddings in the UK in 2012. That's an awful lot of wedding entertainment needed!
It's not really so many years since weddings were in churches or registry offices. Then came the introduction of ceremonies in a wide array of weird and wonderful settings (there are lots of fabulous venues we love to play in and around Leicestershire). But things just keep moving on. Did you know it's now possible to get married in a teepee?
