I was delighted when I caught up once more with Sarah-Jane at the Weddings in Surrey Tweet-up at Fetcham Park, where Melisma Music was one of our showcase entertainments. This is what Sarah-Jane had to say about Melisma Music and what they can offer for wedding entertainment in Surrey.

Tell our readers a little bit about yourself, who you are and what you offer couples planning their weddings in Surrey.
Melisma Music is unique because it is run by performers. We have many years of performing experience and have built up a long-term client base because clients know that they can rely on us. We love working with couples to organise the music and entertainment for their Weddings. Our consultancy is run by myself, Sarah-Jane, and my husband Andrew. We are both professional singers – Opera and Jazz and we offer friendly advice. We have the best musicians and entertainers in the country, all vetted by us, and so you can relax knowing that your entertainment will be the best it can be.
When and why did you launch your business?
The company was formed in 1997 after numerous requests to provide musicians and singers for various events after hearing us sing. We only provide musicians and singers of the highest calibre to make your occasion memorable. We then choose the artists who will complement your event to the high standard that you expect. We have a wide range of music to choose form.In 1997 we organised around 10 events, we now organise over 600!
Who inspires you the most in the wedding industry?
I admire anyone who has a passion for what they do. I am lucky to work with lots of wonderful suppliers and venues.
What is the most amazing request you have had?
Well, we do music on a regular basis at Wembley Stadium and I have sung at the Royal Albert Hall, in Russia and for lots of wonderful audiences.
What is your greatest achievement in either your business or personal life?
Our two children who now want to help in the business. We have also won a number of awards and get a real buzz when someone recommends us.
What is the one piece of wedding planning advice you would give to couples
Keep to your budget and have what you want within that budget. Prioritise and make sure you don’t overspend but don’t compromise on quality.
