Weddings as we know them are back and this means it will be important to book your musical acts quickly. Start thinking about what kind of vibe you are going for and start researching local musicians that fit your wishes. The northeast has heaps of talents, so you’ll be spoiled for choice. Having a live singer, consider putting up a screen and make sure the room is well ventilated.

Scottish weddings and bagpipes go hand in hand and they’re luckily the perfect instrument for a socially distanced performance. You can still be piped into your reception and keep that wee bit of tradition. Reception extras
First dances surrounded by your loved ones is allowed again and we couldn’t be happier for all the dancing queens and kings out there. Deciding on your special song, can be hard but remember that this shared moment between you will be a memory for life, so choose something that fits you as a couple. Want to have some socially distant fun, how about some contactless party games? Fully embrace all your childhood faves – set up limbo, hopscotch or even croquet. Table games are also a fun option. Think ice breakers, bingo or organise a quiz about the happy couple.

A stand-up comedian or magician would provide some laughter. Or bring in a caricature artist to charm your guests – and give them a keepsake from the day. Entertain with drinks! How about a G&T station or “Pimp Your Prosecco” bar? Super easy to set up, but you may need a designated drinks server to avoid over-crowding. If cocktails are more your taste, why not create your own to be served on the day.

A great way to add a bit of personality and you can have a lot of fun brainstorming cocktail/mocktail recipes and names. One way to include your guests who couldn’t be there is through video messages. Ask everyone to record clips to be edited together and play them at the reception. Something extra special to keep too! Ending the night with a fireworks display would be a real showstopper. And something everyone can enjoy at a safe distance. ♥
