Classical Guitar for your Wedding or Event

A classical guitarist or group is a perfect and affordable way to have live music for your ceremony &  Cocktail hour.
I work with a few of them that have been performing in Southern California since the mid 90’s. All of them have built a great reputation for dependability and quality performance.  Music ranges from classical, wedding songs, standards and flamenco. Extended repertoire includes pop, Latin, Broadway, classic rock, Celtic, Italian, Jewish, and Brazilian music.

The specialty for classical guitarists is performing for out door wedding ceremonies that include a sound system that can run on battery power.

Unconventional Ideas for Wedding Entertainment From all types of performers and entertainers,  you can really stamp your own personality on proceedings by taking a closer look at the entertainers that are out there just waiting to be booked. Let’s take a look at a few off-the-wall entertainment ideas that really will make your guests stand up and take note.  Dance Performance and informal Instruction that doesn’t overshadow the wedding couple is a great way to enhance the party and have great interaction with your guests to have a great time no matter what music you have. Check out options at https://swingentertainment.com/dancing

FIRE PERFORMERS: Fire performers can bring a real sense of edginess to proceedings whilst creating exceptional visuals too. Of course, all reputable fire acts come with public liability insurance which means that compensation can be paid if anything does go wrong, but because they are fully trained and highly-experienced, the chances of accidents occurring are generally tiny. Why not start investigating your today? You can opt for a solo act or a group of performers; choose from fire jugglers, eaters, dancers or acts that can combine all of the above. A fire act can bring a real level of distinction to your event. You may even wish to ask for a full pyrotechnic finale to end with. Your guests won’t forget a fire act in a hurry.

STILT WALKERS: Stilt walkers can create an amazing effect and you can ask them to meet and greet your guests too, allowing them to get in the right frame of mind from the outset. Most stilt performers are able to showcase various skills, including juggling or even just telling jokes to your guests, lending a feel of real camaraderie to proceedings.

HUMAN TABLES: Human tables are becoming a more and more popular option all the time. Human tables do exactly what they say on the tin. Costumes are used by entertainers who dish out drinks and snacks to your guests and make their way around the whole room to heighten the atmosphere. What’s even better is that they can adapt to a whole host of different themes too. If you’re not feeling inspired by conventional wedding entertainment, why not check out one of these options from our full service company. It’s your wedding – you can set the rules.

Wedding Planning Tips

Wedding Planning Tips

Wedding Planning is an art that can be mastered with experience and time.  One does need to have the desire and people skills necessary in planning weddings. Yes you can get better while working with wedding planners, going to seminars and expos and then planning weddings on your own or with staff that has experience.  Everyone will learn from mistakes too and no matter who you are, there is never too much you can learn or know.

Taking great notes and being organized is a must.  When learning this business, do not be afraid to ask questions to people in the business or intern with a company that is reputable.  Everyone will deal with clients that are very difficult at one time or another as well as great, easy clients but the key is to be professional, positive and prompt. The 3 P’s.

Spending time with a wedding couple will help them relax and make them more comfortable with their special day. Having a wedding couple happy and satisfied is very important for your reputation as well getting business by word of mouth and referrals (the best way to get future business as that is free advertising).

All in all, wedding planning takes years to get better at. Helping with the couple’s timeline, song requests and questions leading up to the wedding is a huge part to be prepared for the big day.  When you are prepared as a wedding planner, the day of will go much smoother.  If you are ever unsure of anything, ask the couple, the venue contact or even the vendors to make sure you are on the same page.  Work hard and it will pay off.
