What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
At a recent wedding in Sussex, the Groom’s Father asked me if I could play a song on his Father’s 1942 guitar. I restored it and mid wedding breakfast sat in front of Joe and Charlotte and played and sang ‘Can’t help falling in love with you’ on Joe’s Grandad’s guitar…They had no idea it was planned and there were lots of tears of joy! ( I managed to hold back mine..)
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I will always meet with them first to find out every detail about their special day. I will ask if they have any song requests and any songs they don’t want.I will visit the venue and liaise with the Events Manager so I can plan logistics beforehand and leave nothing to chance. I will send any recordings of song requests to them to make sure they are happy with them, keeping in regular contact until the day itself.
What makes a romantic first dance?
A song that means everything to the happy couple.
