Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - March/April 2021 (Issue 30)

57 Ways to entertain at a micro wedding MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT PART Y like it's 2021! CherryTop Weddings has achieved ‘we’re good to go’ status, the official mark to signal that a tourism and hospitality business has met the Government’s Covid-19 guidelines. Alex adds, “Although the original idea for CherryTop Weddings came before the pandemic, we're thrilled that our product means that couples getting married now can incorporate our new and unique form of entertainment into their day in a Covid- secure way. This time has meant that we're all much more used to doing things virtually. Even after the restrictions are lifted, we expect that trend to continue, with couples looking for ways to involve friends who cannot attend their weddings for health reasons or because they live too far away.” There are different packages available to suit each couple’s needs starting from £150.

The guests loved it, so we built on that concept to create CherryTop Weddings. We aim to help couples and guests create and share special memories." CherryTop Weddings located in Truro, Cornwall, has developed a new Covid- secure interactive wedding entertainment experience that can be enjoyed by guests attending as well as friends and relatives watching remotely (It's also ideal for larger celebrations when restrictions lift.) Guests attending in person, and also virtually, will each receive their printed booklet, a Love Story, personalised by the couple. It will contain photographs of the newlyweds and personalised activities chosen by them. These include a quiz to find out how much their guests know about them, wedding speech bingo, word searches, codebreakers, drawing challenges, I Spy games and much more. Couples design their own Love Story booklet using CherryTop Weddings' content management system. There's a range of designs and colourways to choose from that complement all wedding themes and couples can upload their design for the front and back cover. The package includes a personalised pen with each booklet – a special souvenir of the day. There are also booklets containing activities for children. Guests will be able to upload their responses to the activities, photographs of the day and their messages and wishes for the couple to an online interactive Wedding Wall which will also have an area for absent friends to view a live-stream of the day.
