Talented acoustic guitarist and singer Matt Bee provided a stunning musical backdrop to the Goldbrick House Open Day on Sunday which you can read about here. His singing and playing was so great that we though he deserved his very own post today showcasing some of his work.

                                

Matt plays songs by a range of artists such as the Beatles, Coldplay, the Rolling Stones, Kings of Leon, U2 and Paul Weller and also works with couples to perform their favourite music on the day. He also offers a range of packages to suit all budgets depending on how many sets he performs. His packages range from £350 to £600 including travel with 50 miles of Bristol.

Take a look at this video of Matt playing the gorgeous "You Do Something To Me" by Paul Weller.



You can find it more about Matt on his website as well as more videos and sound clips of his music.

Wednesday night was the second Bristol Wedding Tweet Up organised by Kirsten Butler, The Little Wedding Helper and held in the Champagne Bar at the glorious Goldbrick House. Guests from across the Wedding Industry arrived from 6pm to be greeted by complimentary champagne and delicious canapes. Bristol Wedding Photographer Marie Man was on hand with her camera to capture the evening and her brilliant pictures are shown here.







Guests also got to enjoy a delicious selection of sweets from Bristol Candy Buffet. The Buffet was styled in vintage colours to match the Little Wedding Helper's venue styling. It was hugely popular all evening and only a handful of sweets were left in the the pretty jars and vintage tins by the end of the night.



The Little Wedding Helper styled the Champagne Bar with pretty flowers, vintage floral china, gorgeous battered vintage suitcases and a framed board for people to add their business cards to.


It was a great fun and friendly event and there will be another one scheduled in the New Year for anyone who missed out or wants to come to another one. See all of Marie's pictures here

When you get Married it's easy to put entertainment to the bottom of your to-do list but it's really important to think about music for your Wedding as it can make such a huge difference to the atmosphere. Here's a few ideas for vintage style musical entertainment in the Bristol area.

We mentioned Shellac Sound recently and we still heart them big style for their selection of records from the 20s to 40s played on vintage grammaphones. It creates an amazing retro feel for a vintage style wedding.

                                          

If live music is more you thing but you still want a vintage vibe, then The Tender Trap could be right up your street. They are a female trio who play jazz and blues and sing in gorgeous three part harmonies. They specialise in music from the 40s to 70 and promise to bring "vintage chic" to your Wedding. Take a look at their website for some videos of them playing.

If you are looking for a glee club feel then perhaps H Club could suit you. They are a group of experienced male singers who peform a cappella (think the Warblers). They are all members of the Great Western Chorus and all of their fees go towards keeping the Chorus, which is a registered charity, running. They even play air trumpet and are guaranteed to bring a smile to your guest's faces.
