Wedding Entertainment

A wedding is a very special event for the bride and groom, their family and good friends. Make the occasion even more memorable by adding the very personal touch that comes from the work of loving hands. It’s not the spectacular but the small details, often handmade, which give a wedding its atmosphere and style. Add a touch of individuality to the time honoured traditions – the invitations to be sent out, orders of service, and thank you notes by having your marriage stationery display a handcrafted silhouette.

Or, if you are looking for you and your guests to receive a personalised, everlasting keepsake of your special day, it’s difficult to imagine a more exquisite blend of creativity, deftness and enchantment than Megumi’s silhouette artistry as she mingles with your guests creating silhouettes of them, and in the process making your wedding a perfect day for everyone to treasure always. During a three hour period she is able to cut between twenty to twenty-five silhouettes per an hour.

As a unique souvenir for the Bride and Groom, Megumi is able to cut an A4 size silhouette of them in full marriage attire, so when the wedding is long past, they will continue to have a reminder of their fabulous day.
