I always recommend carving out five to 10 minutes together, just after the ceremony or before dinner, to step away and soak it all in. Have it scheduled into the day by the planner (if you have one). “ THE TAILORS SURPRISE SINGERS The new generation of singing waiters has arrived, and it’s truly unlike anything anyone has experienced before. While many might have heard of singing waiter acts, witnessing The Tailors in action is a different story.

Based in London, The Tailors are a talented team of worldclass undercover singers who specialise in delivering personalised performances.

Imagine this: photographers dressed in classic 1920s press attire, complete with trench coats and trilby hats, warmly welcoming guests as they arrive. Marketing Manager Nikoletta Nikolov-Spassov says, “The atmosphere is electric with excitement, and as the photographers snap professional photos, they engage in light-hearted banter, setting the tone for a fun-filled celebration. But the experience doesn’t stop once the arrivals are over. These photographers become roaming artists, capturing candid moments throughout the event, whether it’s guests mingling or performers like dancers and magicians doing their thing. Within just 48 hours after the event, guests receive beautifully edited images and videos, preserving precious memories.” The standard package includes two photographers, typically dressed in traditional paparazzi style. However, they are flexible and can adapt to any theme that suits the occasion. To elevate the experience, they can also provide a red-carpet reporter who interviews guests, creating the glitzy atmosphere of an award ceremony. These short, fun interviews allow guests to share their thoughts and reactions, all while feeling like true celebrities. The gems from these interviews are then crafted into a polished video, accessible on a private channel, capturing the essence of the event and the joy of the attendees.
