Funky Photographers

We had the pleasure of working alongside Hannah MacGregor whose website is http://www.funkyphotographers.co.uk/.

Hannah seemed very relaxed and in control, as she effortlessly glided around the room with her camera.  Indeed she was so discreet initially that we didn't even see her!  Like Liquid Strings, Hannah is a recommended supplier in the lovely Pembroke Lodge.  She knows the venue really well and knows how to make the most out of the setting to get perfect photos for your big day.

We've just been looking at her Wedding Gallery, and are hugely impressed with the use of colour and light, as well as the joy in the images - people caught looking unmistakeably happy on their big day - so much more enjoyable to look at than 100 staged photos.  Of course like all great wedding photographers (and arguably all great wedding suppliers), she can do formal and informal with equal skill.  Indeed, the work is funky!

Although we were playing in our string quartet and I was checking all was ok with my other acts that busy weekend, a quick chat with Hannah told me that she'd be hugely approachable and helpful when enquired to.  Hopefully she had as great a working day as we did!

London Strings Quartet

We're still taking last minute wedding bookings for string quartets, trios and duos.  A London String Quartet from Liquid Strings will provide a great atmosphere for your wedding or event - here are a few tips to help you choose music for your wedding -

- String Quartet sounds best and has the greatest variety of music - from Britney Spears to Coldplay, Mozart to Skyfall theme, wedding marches, light jazz, tangos - chances are if it's for string quartet, we can play it - or if not, we can have it professionally arranged at a reasonable extra cost.

- However, if your budget will not allow for a string quartet (and we appreciate these are challenging times for spending), then a String Trio sounds excellent and is almost as good, but a bit less costly!  Bar that, there's duo or solo also.  String Duo is elegant and works best in a smaller setting and where the music is very much in the background, as there is less variety available.

- Choose your own setlist or let us help you decide.  We can suggest the best pieces for the different parts of the day.  Playing Toxic and Jeeves and Wooster before a ceremony as guests are arriving makes no sense - playing them in the reception afterwards when the atmosphere is less formal is much better.  We have a range of choices - either classical traditional for the ceremony, or more modern (lots of newly weds walking out to Coldplay - Viva la Vida, for example).  Contact us for some help on this after you've booked us for your wedding.

- Book your music earlier - it's one less thing to think about later, and we can offer packages with everything from just a Solo Harpist for the whole day (for an understated and calm wedding!), to quartet, jazz pianist and big Party Band, all booked and guaranteed for you in advance so you can get on with the rest of the planning.

Call us today for some inspiration - all weddings are not the same, and as such we treat each enquiry as another opportunity to match music to what our clients really imagine will provide a perfect soundtrack for their day!
