Just Art Design
I passionately believe that your wedding invitation should reflect your personality and excite your guests, filling them with anticipation for the big day.
Your invitations should be treasures your guests will want to cherish as mementos instead of informative pieces of paper to be discarded after the day. If your wedding stationery could talk, what would you like it to say to your guests about yourselves and your dream wedding?
Be it classic and understated or funky and outrageously over the top, make sure that your invitations reflect your personality. Your stationery should be a work of art and like your thumb-print; completely your own.

Kirsten 4 Music
Perhaps, as your guests enter for the ceremony, a harp plays soft music accompanied by the piano.
While you take your photos, have a saxophone and piano/keyboard duo entertain the guests during pre drinks. When you arrive to take your seats at the top table, you can choose a special song we could sing as a 1, 2, 3 or 4 piece band. We can entertain you with instrumentals of oldies and popular tunes by the saxophone, keyboard and bass guitar and also sing the melodies made famous by artists such as Norah Jones and Michael Buble. Let us add to the magic of your special day.
Solo musicians, duos and bands. Self contained musicians and combinations with PA and lights to provide the requirements for all situations from marquees to halls.
We are totally reliable, punctual, and smartly dressed. We will offer you music styles to suit your taste, tempos to compliment the atmosphere and melodies that’ll make your event unforgettable.
Our repertoire encompasses light classical, mellow jazz, well-known classics, ballads, contemporary music and popular hits. We can create any mood from a relaxed ambience to a party atmosphere. We are happy to customise an entertainment package for you to make your occasion the success you deserve!
