Interview with Katie, from Pretty Please By Katie - Hair & Makeup Artist

In this Episode I interview my good friend Katie.

Katie has been a good friend of mine since 2016, we share very similar thoughts and believes on how best to run our businesses. We often meet up to share ideas, books and tips over a coffee. I can not speak highly enough of her talent, her commitment to those who book her and the way she continually seeks new ways to improve her business.

In this interview, Katie discusses everything you need to know about booking a hair and makeup artist plus detailing the great service she provides. Listen to her insights on trails or preview days and where to find inspiration. What questions are most asked, what happens on the big day itself and her advice to calm the nerves before the big day starts.

Insightful, light hearted but mostly informative.

Why Photo Booths Are a Must Have At Your Wedding Reception

For the couple and guests alike the evening reception is the part where you let your hair down, do away with tradition, have a few drinks and enjoy yourself.

This is where the Photo Booth or Selfie-Mirror come into their own. After the speeches your day guests will be mingling, catching up and taking in the big day. Then your evening guests will start to arrive and suddenly your wedding becomes one big reunion. All your guests will want to share and look back on those memories. Having their photo taken in the Photo Booth or Selfie-Mirror and then afterwards pinning it on their fridge will serve as a constant reminder of your big day.

Which is best for your Evening Reception a Band or a DJ?

In this episode Rob & I discuss the PROS & CONS of hiring a DJ and a Band plus explore the possibility of hiring both.

Hiring a band is deemed to be expensive, but you get a lot for your money. Your guests will be entertained by live music. Which for me (even though I'm a DJ) there is nothing better. I love band music.

As a DJ I have worked alongside many great bands, in doing so there is a lot which needs to be prepared beforehand. Again this is something we discuss.

Also listen out for our First Dance tips and Rob's opinion on the Evening Buffet (Pork Pies)!

Lighthearted as always..
