In the Spotlight...Melisma Music

The first time I saw Sarah-Jane Morris of Melisma Music was at a wedding fair.  I literally heard the voice of an angel, and there was Sarah-Jane performing the most beautiful aria.   She is one of the most warmest people I have ever met, she is so so friendly and well, happy!  But I guess if I could sing like she does I would be one very happy lady too.

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

Introducing Moonrise Lingerie....

 New to Weddings in Surrey - Moonrise Lingerie are an exciting stockist of stunning bridal lingerie.  Brides spend hours choosing their wedding dress and accessories, but often leave what goes underneath until the last minute.

I well remember changing my mind about my 'sensible' underwear for my wedding just 2 days before, and spent hours frantically shop hopping trying to find lingerie that made me feel as special as my dress did.  After all, the dress has to come off at some point and big knickers just didn't complete the look!

Moonrise Lingerie have an endless range of bridal lingerie including basques, corsets, bra and pant sets, babydolls for the honeymoon and a fabulous selection of stockings.

They have placed an emphasis on providing lingerie for brides with a curvier figure or large bust and also provide shapewear, if you want to nip those bits in a little more.

They have a passion for lingerie and a wide range that you will not find on the high street.

Exclusive to Weddings in Surrey - place an online order before 31st March 2012 and receive a free pair of Wedding Bell stockings worth £9.99.  Enter discount code WEDSRY at checkout.
