| STEVE
BEAN - FREELANCE CLASSICAL GUITARIST |
|
It
isn't often that I walk into a wedding and find something new but
Steve Bean was something new for me when I first worked with him
at a 2005 wedding.
Steve
describes himself as a freelance classical guitarist but don't be
surprised to hear some Paul Weller, David Gray or even Led Zep's
"Stairway To Heaven" in his repertoire !
His
excellent guitar work provided background music for the service
and during the reception meal and it certainly made a refreshing
change from the norm.
Steve's
a real easy guy to get along with and, if you're looking for a little
individuality on your big day then I'd put him at the very top of
your list without a moment's hesitation !

| CAPTURE
YOUR DAY - DIGITAL VIDEO |
|

If
big cameras on big rigs and a BBC outside broadcast feel is what
you're looking for from your videographer then steer well clear
of Peterborough based Capture-Your-Day digital video !
One
young lady with an impressive but cute little digital video camera
matched with a relaxed, friendly and unobtrusive style is what
you will get.
A
true pleasure to work with and definitely a little different from
the norm !

BEAUTIFUL DAY - DIGITAL VIDEO |
|

John
Corcoran is a relatively new recruit to the local videography scene
but don't let that put you off as John comes equipped with the very
best equipment and skills to match.
John
comes geared up to cover all angles with more than one camera if
required but does so in an unobtrusive and pleasant manner.
As
with all top drawer pro-videographers, John delivers a quality service
without adversely impacting on your special day and I would have
no hesitation in recommending him to you !

| MIRADE
STUDIOS - DIGITAL VIDEO |
|
Offering
a nationwide service from their Fosdyke, Lincolnshire base, Mirade
Studios don't do things by halves.
The
equipment is "big boys toys" material and coupled with
plenty of experience shooting weddings, I suspect the end product
will be something impressive. Whenever I have worked with Mirade,
I've found the videographer (Mike Deal) very easy to get on with,
balancing professionalism with a relaxed manner and good sense
of humour ........ nice website too !
If
video is a big part of your day and you don't mind sharing that
day with some serious kit then Mirade may well prove very worthy
of a shout !

| STRIPEY
WIPEY - CHILDREN'S ENTERTAINER |
|
Offering
a well established range of entertainments across a broad area of
the country, Stripey Wipey could prove just the ticket for those
flagging youngsters at your reception.
Boasting
membership of both the Magic Circle and Equity, it was no surprise
to see Stripey Wipey taking total control of his captivated and
sizeable audience of youngsters, not only giving parents a much
needed break but also refuelling the enthusiasms of the youngsters
for the evening's disco.
I
only saw the first of his two sessions but the entertainment was
out of the top draw and completely satisfied the hopes of the couple
who employed his services.
Something
different and well worth considering if you've got a big kiddie
presence on your big day ! |

| G.C.VIDEOS
- DIGITAL VIDEO |
|
G.C.Videos
are based in Werrington Peterborough and offer twin camera coverage
to capture all the key moments of your big day from every conceivable
angle.
The
team is spearheaded by main man Graham Crane who, along with his
colleague, deliver the goods in an unobtrusive and very relaxed
manner.
One
neat touch of note was that Graham monitors the live coverage being
delivered by the main camera not through the camera viewfinder but
via a digital monitor thus providing a much more accurate way of
reviewing the image that you are eventually going to see.
Would
do themselves a big favour if they had a supporting website but,
all in all, an experienced, professional service delivered by a
team that are very easy to work with .......... well worth a place
on your short list ! |

| MIKE
GEORGIADES - CLASSICAL GUITARIST |
|
Mike
is a Watford based classical guitarist who regularly covers the
Cambridgeshire area.
There
is something completely right about a classical guitarist backdrop
to a wedding or wedding reception. I came across Mike in the courtyard
at The Bell in Stilton in August 2006 and his balanced repertoire
of classical and more contemporary sounds helped create the perfect
atmosphere for relaxing drinks and socialising.
Mike
is a very accomplished performer, equally at home on the concert
stage as he is at social events. You can checkout his excellent
website where there is the opportunity to listen to his artistry
online and you can even order a free, no-obligation sample CD if
you need more convincing.
Definitely
worth checking out for that extra special touch of class for your
big day ! |

DOMINIC - CHILDREN'S ENTERTAINER |
|
Mad
Dom has twenty years of experience entertaining kids of all ages
and, despite being Midlands based, has worked all over the country.
Dominic's
madcap antics grab the attention of the little ones within seconds
and it only takes a few minutes for a crowd of more mature "big
kids" to join the show too. Like all good entertainers, Dominic's
humour is delivered on multiple levels and will prove captivating
to all age groups.
Did
a cracking job at a Stamford wedding with a bunch of "challenging"
kids so if you are looking for somebody to take the steam out of
the refuelled post-meal kids then be sure to give Mad Dominic a
call ! |
