🎻SUPPLIER ANNOUNCEMENT🎻

Susan Clark

The Midlands Wedding Violinist is an electric violinist based in the West Midlands who specialises in weddings. She also plays for parties and other social gatherings and celebrations. She has played in a string quartet for weddings and other social events for over 25 years and decided several years ago to branch out and play electric violin at weddings as a soloist. She has a beautiful Violectra (electric violin) made by David Bruce Johnson who has made instruments for many famous violinists all over the world including several for Nigel Kennedy. She has played with different orchestras both classical and pop including Orchestra of the Swan, Mid Wales Opera and many choral societies. She has also been on tour with Chris De Burgh several times earlier on in her career. She has a wide repertoire to suit all needs and is just as happy playing pop as she is classical. She has an MA (Masters Degree in Violin Performance) and was awarded a scholarship with the CBSO in 1997. She enjoys teaching and performing, bringing her wealth of experience to all ages. The Midlands Wedding Violinist has also performed over several years with a trio group of piano, voice and violin in the local areas. Her main objective when performing is to bring a special atmosphere and musical enjoyment to any event.

Music

Playlists are pretty flexible. The client can request a general theme or music that they like and I will create a list for their event, or they can list some music that they like and I will create a playlist using as many of them as I can within the set time. Pre-Ceremony and Ceremony music will be individually discussed with the client to suit their needs and the legal requirements of the venue (religious/non-religious). The music list is always growing so please ask if I have something that isn’t listed below as I may do already. Many people have a mixture of classical and pop for their ceremony starting with classical pre-ceremony and turning to pop during the ceremony. It is entirely up to you and I am happy to discuss ideas with you and make suitable suggestions where required.

15/01/2023

The countdown is on. One week until our very 1st Wedding Fayre on Sunday 22nd January 2023.

We have an amazing collaboration of local Wedding Industry suppliers & experts who will be sharing their offerings and services to prospective Brides & Grooms at Botany Bay Nurseries Edgioake lane Astwood Bank Redditch B966bg.

Pop along and see us from 11am -4pm. Register at [email protected], enter our fabulous giveaways competition.

💅 SUPPLIER INTRODUCTION 💅
NAILS BY MILL - Instagram nails_bymillx

HELLO! My name is Millie Birch, and I am a fully qualified nail technician. Who specialises in gel, BIAB and acrylic nails.
I’ve always had an artistic flair but had never properly expressed it. When covid happened, I found myself with a lot of spare time and came across an online nail technician course.

After completing the course within a month, I then spent lots of time practicing on friends, building a social media platform, decorating my Home-based nail salon and gaining a client base. I then became a Cuccio nail brand influencer!
I am continuously improving my skills 😁

I would never look back!

SilverStar Photographic
Hey there! I’m Michelle. My passion is taking photos, especially of people who are madly in love!
My goal is to capture those moments that you will treasure and keep for a lifetime. I pride myself on natural imagery and if I tell you to smile or say cheese feel free to slap me!
I love spending time in my home with my wonderful boyfriend Anthony and my gorgeous sons Xavier & Miles. I also love spending time with my amazing family and friends, drinking tea and eating cake. !
I have been running this business for 14 years now so I know a thing or two about weddings. Ask me anything! I photographed my first wedding in 2009, and instantly discovered a love for it. I’m always so humbled when a couple book me for their wedding; being such a big part of your wedding day really means so much to me. I have been known to fill-in as dress fluffer, cravat tier, and the occasional cake eater (obvs!), so I do come in very useful on the day! I also have the great pleasure of saying that so many of my couples have become wonderful friends after their weddings, you can’t get rid of me that easily! Please feel free to get in-touch for a chat about your wedding photography, I would love to hear from you.
