Chasing Leaves



Additional Wedding Information: -

This section comes in two parts beginning with the benefits of engaging an afternoon/early evening entertainer, and then followed by more details regarding 'Options & Prices'. I have started with the benefits, simply because one of these are not be common knowledge and/or, intuitive.


So, what are the true benefits?

1) The obvious answer is that having afternoon/early evening entertainment at you wedding, will certainly add yet another layer of fun and sparkle to your big day... and who would not want some extra fun and sparkle?

2) However, whilst the above answer is in itself a very good reason to engage an afternoon/early evening entertainer, there is another less obvious, and perhaps far more important benefit i.e. that it can significantly improve the chance of the evening party being a success. This is because it can remedy the all too common "Afternoon-Lull" issue.

What is the "Afternoon-Lull" issue?

Firstly, the Afternoon-Lull is an important but complex issue to fully explain, so I have added a separate page to cover the topic in greater detail (see link below), but for now I will a give brief description of what it is, and why it should be avoided: -

An afternoon-Lull specifically relates to the period that starts shortly after the wedding breakfast, and only ends when the evening party 'FULLY' gets going. The timings of these two parameters will determine the exact length of the Afternoon-Lull but generally it will last somewhere between three to six hours. This is the only part a wedding day where there is very little going on to occupy your guests and if this issue is not addressed, this inactivity will very often lead to your guests becoming very tired and lethargic.

Obviously, having tired and lethargic guests is not a good thing and if this all to common issues is not addressed, it can seriously undermine the chances of having a good evening party!

However, should you choose to hire an entertainer to mitigate this issue e.g. Chasing Leaves, there simply won't be an Afternoon-Lull.

Wedding Prices: -

Event: | Weddings | Price: from £400.

So, what does "from £400" mean?

Basically, for £400 I will provide up to 2 hours of entertainment at your chosen 'local' Wedding Venue. The exact timing, and how I present the 'live entertainment,' will be tailored to your specific requirements.

Planning: I will check in advance for any venue related constraints e.g. noise restrictions, and I will also make sure that there will be no logistical or weather related problems. Where possible, I will visit the venue prior to your wedding day for a final check.

Summary: what I have described above will cost £400 for a typical local wedding.

More Fun & Sparkle and no lengthy Afternoon-Lull for just £400... bargain!

Additional Costs

Travel (non-local).

There are two parts to why I need to charge extra for non-local weddings: -

1) To cover my additional travel time and fuel costs (no surprise there!).

2) If the return travel time is too long, I will not be available for evening bookings.

Note: During peak periods e.g. Bank or Summer Holiday, even local travel may take considerably longer than normal, and parking can be a logistical nightmare. In such cases, I may have to charge more that the standard price.

Price: (see below)

I will calculate any potential additional costs once I know the Date, Timings, and Venue".



Access & Parking.

Whilst most Wedding Venues have good access and free parking, some don't and this can cause a wide variety of logistical and security issues.

Price: (see below)

I can only calculate any additional costs once I know the Date, Timings, and Venue".

Optional Extras

Optional Extra (A)
(Extra Hour)

If you are going to have a lengthy "Afternoon Lull," two hours of entertainment may not be enough to keep your guests fully occupied and content. In such circumstances I can add an additional hour of entertainment. However, to truly change things up for your guests, it would probably be better if I changed things up by utilising my Mic' and P.A. System to do something different e.g. a Quiz, Bingo, Karaoke, (colouring books for any kids), etc. In reality, this may be best executed as a split i.e. an hour of singing/music - an hour of the alternative entertainment, followed by another hour of singing/music (the last hour timed for the arrival of evening guests).

You may wish to choose the extra hour of entertainment, simply for the fun of it... and if have the budget for it, why not?.

Note: I'm hoping that from the content and tone of this page, that you understand that whilst I am a professional singer/musician and need to earn a living, that I truly know how important your wedding day is. Consequently, my standard pricing, and any additional services that I offer, have been thought through very carefully, and specifically designed to help ensure that you, and your guests, have the best day possible.

Extra Hour Price: £100

Other Costs: - (see below)

Obviously, you will know who your guests better than I do, so I will ask for your input on how best to use this additional hour. There will be no further costs, unless you have special requirements e.g. more expensive prizes, additional equipment requirements, etc.
